Description

This bronze inaugural medal commemorates the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States on January 20, 2017. Trump's election in 2016 over Hillary Clinton was one of the most surprising outcomes in American political history, as virtually all polling and forecasting had predicted a Clinton victory. His inauguration was marked by widespread protests as well as enthusiastic celebrations, reflecting the deep political polarization of the era. The bronze composition was standard for mass-market inaugural medals. Trump's presidency would be marked by tax reform, judicial appointments, immigration enforcement, trade wars, impeachment proceedings, and the COVID-19 pandemic. This bronze inaugural medal documents the beginning of one of the most controversial presidencies in American history.
