Anybody else sleepless in the USA? ??????

And other stars shared their various opinions on the day.

The last 2 inaugurations were very crowded. This one is so... roomy

Donald Trump’s inauguration is expected to be the most costly in US history. And that’s not even factoring in the money.

— Conan O'Brien (@ConanOBrien) January 19, 2017

Watching two presidents side by side on TV, hard to wrap ones mind around such different visions, styles, tone, politics btwn them.

— Maria Shriver (@mariashriver) January 20, 2017

Stop telling me to \"get over it\". Get UNDER it. He works for US. The democratic process is constant. Stay informed, stay engaged, speak up.
