5:46 pm
trump to a figure of fun. even born it was. never used humor in his work about him right from the start he didn't think there was anything to laugh about. at and so he comes out or at the time you sum up as a joke that's something that wasn't going to win the presidency and i saw morris as a very. and i sort of work that. that maybe. i created. rodriguez reacts to current events in his illustrations and like many of his fellow cartoonists he could barely keep up with the news cycle made
5:47 pm

5:48 pm
springsteen mostly via twitter his preferred media. in hollywood were open in their support for him one of those was actor jon voight whom trump awarded the medal of arts in 2019. great nations produce great thinkers artists musicians and scholars who make our world a more beautiful and light joyful place but trump wasn't willing to invest in that more beautiful world in the middle of arts is sponsored by the national endowment of the arts who's funding he reduced the trumpet ministrations of little use in public arts funding. for his part. hopes he'll never again have to create a magazine cover with donald trump. well trump may be leaving the white house but the infamous baby trump protest balloon is sticking around the giant helium blimp of trump with a diaper and a smartphone is set to outlive trump's presidency as a display in the museum of london
5:49 pm
a crowd funded balloon 1st appeared at protests against the president's visit to the british capital in $28.00 teams before going on to tour several other countries . and of course the new u.s. president joe biden is said to be inaugurated on wednesday the event is going to be very different from what we saw 4 years ago with trump my colleague adrian kennedy is here for more on what can we expect yes well as you said most people probably remember that time had some trouble getting performance together for his inauguration show it seems this time around there is no shortage of people lining up to take parts at wednesday morning swearing in ceremony we will get caught interpretation of the u.s. national am from the star spangled banner as well as a performance from jennifer lopez that lady gaga of course was regularly seen
5:50 pm
on the biden campaign trail supporting the presidential candidates ahead of last year's election the singer took to twitter to say she was honored to be performing at the event and was also campaigning for biden as yet we don't know what she will be singing can't wait to see now the theme of course is unity do you have to be do the artists have to be members of the democratic party to perform of course there is a country singing a gulf broke so it's a republican and he will be performing he has stressed though that he is performing for the president for the presidency it's not a political statement but rather that. a statement of unity and we've got a clip of him talking to members of the inaugural committee let's hear what he had to say so i would say unity i would say we're more divided than ever so that bridge that brings us together. i don't know if i might be the only republican at this
5:51 pm
place but it's reaching across loving one another because that's what's going to get us through probably the most divided times that we have i want the divided times to be behind us i want to be able to differ in opinion and hug each other at the same foot ok. and interestingly of course books performed at one of the bomber inaugurations but he skipped trump's swearing in citing shattering problems oh well maybe we should read too much into the head adrian it's not just going to be music though no that's right the youth poet laureate amanda goldman will be the youngest poet so ever read at you know gratian she will be reciting own inaugural poem the hill be climb which she had apparently half finished when the u.s. capitol was stormed on january the 6th and she completed it on the same night in
