President-elect Donald Trump’s official inauguration portrait has been released, and it may be the most “badass” inauguration photo of all time, according to some.
It is part of what is coming together as a fantastic inauguration ceremony for him that will feature some top stars and CEOs.
Bo Loudon, a close friend of Barron Trump, posted the picture on his social media accounts, labeling it the “most badass photo ever.”
“We already know that Carrie Underwood and Lee Greenwood are set to sing at Donald Trump‘s inauguration, but they’re not the only country stars who’ll be front and center at the festivities,” CT40 reported.
“Greenwood will also perform at The Make America Great Again Victory Rally, along with Billy Ray Cyrus, Kid Rock, and The Village People. The singers famous for ‘YMCA’ are also on tap for The Liberty Ball, along with Jason Aldean and another surprise guest,” it said.
The Commander-in-Chief Ball will also feature country stars Parker McCollum and Rascal Flatts.
Tech CEOs Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, along with Alphabet, the parent company of Google, CEO Sundar Pichai, and Apple CEO Tim Cook, will also be on hand for the inauguration, according to reports.
But the performance of Underwood caused consternation from one of the co-hosts of “The View,” Joy Behar, who was quickly smacked down by a former Republican co-host.
Former ‘View’ co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck shredded her one-time colleague after Behar insulted the country music superstar for deciding to perform at Trump’s inauguration.
“I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood told the Daily Beast about her decision, which she said wasn’t political. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”
But Behar was furious and made a number of unsubstantiated and false accusations about Underwood and Trump.
“She says, ‘I love our country.’ How do you love your country and support and normalize somebody who was a convicted felon who really wants to destroy the country, in my opinion?” Behar whined. “I don’t understand how you say you love your country at the same time that you normalize this convicted felon.”
Hasselbeck responded to Behar in a post on X in which she said “[Joy Behar] needs to simmer down off my friend,” before she appeared on Fox News later on Tuesday.
“I would have loved to have been at that table today. They’ve refused to put anyone there who has a lick of sense,” she said.
“She wants us to believe that [about] Carrie Underwood, who won American Idol by American votes, who had an album and tour called All-American Girl, who actually has spent more time on USO tours, serving and helping and donating money to our nation’s finest, our military, their families and our veterans – is about to perform ‘America the Beautiful’ at the historic event of the inauguration of the President of the United States of America,” Hasselbeck said.
“She wants to attach her name to Carrie Underwood’s name so that she maintains relevance because they know the ship is sinking,” the former “The View” host said.
“Is every person that shows up on Inauguration Day, from security to custodial staff, un-American? Is that what Joy is saying?” Hasselbeck added.
But in a stunning turn of events, actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg sided with the country star against her fellow liberal co-host.
“I stand behind her,” the “Sister Act” star said. “If I believe I have the right to make up my mind to go perform someplace, I believe they have the same right. So I have to support (her). It doesn’t mean I’m particularly interested in watching. I won’t be watching. But that’s me,” she added.
