Donald Trump’s official inauguration photo has been released and people have concerns

Donald Trump’s official inauguration photo has been released and people have raised their concerns over the picture.

We're just a few days away from Trump's inauguration next Monday (20 January) and, ahead of the ceremony, Trump and vice president-elect JD Vance have unveiled the snaps they've gone with as they become the next leaders of the United States.

Now, the photos in question were taken by chief photographer, Daniel Torok, and have since been shared across social media platforms - prompting many to share their thoughts on the two pictures.

Now, while some supporters of Trump, who will become the first person convicted of a felony to assume the presidency, were hellbent the 78-year-old looked 'presidential', others were far from agreeing.

Amidst the mixed responses, quite a few people pointed out the fact Trump's eyes appeared to be two different sizes, some even claimed it looked like the work of artificial intelligence (AI) while others commented that the inauguration photo had an uncanny resemblance to his mug shot.

The mug shot in question was taken back in August 2023 when the Republican leader turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, after being indicted by a grand jury on racketeering charges.

One social media user revealed: "This picture literally scared me it looks like Al."

"It's like a poster for a horror movie," declared a second, while a third wondered: "Is that the mug shot?"

A fourth continued: "Trump looks constipated."

"What is wrong with Trump's eyes?" asked a fifth, while a sixth echoed: "His eyes are two different sizes."

Another asked: "Why does Trump always look so angry?"

And a final social media user added: "You’re joking right? No way Trump is going with this!"

The inauguration ceremony's line-up has also been announced. It will include performers like Carrie Underwood and the Village People, who will be performing at 'at least one event with President Elect Trump'.

The band in question is made up of six people: Victor Willis, Javier Perez, James Kwong, Nicholas Manelick, James Lee, and James J.J. Lippold.

Willis, however, is the only original member still remaining in the American disco group best known for their smash-hits including 'Macho Man', 'In the Navy', 'Go West', and 'Y.M.C.A.'.

Willis took to Facebook on Monday (13 January) to announce the news that the band would be performing at the inauguration writing: "We are announcing today that VILLAGE PEOPLE have accepted an invitation from President Elect Trump's campaign to participate in inaugural activities, including at least one event with President Elect Trump."

Responding to the backlash from 'disappointed' fans, he stated: "We know this won't make some of you happy to hear, however we believe that music is to be performed without regard to politics."

"Our song 'Y.M.C.A.' is a global anthem that hopefully helps bring the country together after a tumultuous and divided campaign where our preferred candidate lost," Victor added, referring to Democrat, Kamala Harris.

The statement ended: "Therefore, we believe it's now time to bring the country together with music which is why VILLAGE PEOPLE will be performing at various events as part of the 2025 Inauguration of Donald J. Trump."
