With President Donald Trump taking office once again as the 47th Commander-in-Chief, his inauguration will take place on Monday, January 20th, 2025. While inaugurations can sometimes be drawn out and, well, boring, one way to spice up the broadcast and keep things interesting is by placing a few wagers on the occasion. Let's dive into a few bets worth keeping an eye on.
To Attend the Inauguration:
Dana White: -2000
Considering that Dana White has been one of President Trump’s biggest supporters and introduced him during the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin last year, it’s a safe bet there will be a seat saved for the UFC’s head honcho.
Hulk Hogan: -500
The Hulkster was one of the main speakers for President Trump during the Republican National Convention and spoke at his rally at Madison Square Garden prior to the election. Hulk Hogan has been a massive Trump supporter during his most recent campaign, even at the expense of losing some of his Hulkamaniacs who leaned the other way. That shouldn’t stop Hogan from running wild to Washington, D.C., to watch his “Gladiator” reclaim his seat at the head of the political table.
Jon Voight: -150
Along with Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson, Jon Voight was recently announced as one of the “Special Ambassadors” to Hollywood, California. Voight has been an OG supporter of both the 45th and soon-to-be 47th President, backing Trump’s first run for office in 2016. In fact, Voight was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 2019 by President Trump.

Length of Donald Trump’s Inauguration Speech:
- Under 19.5 Minutes: -125
- Over 19.5 Minutes: -115
Over the past year and a half, we've seen President Trump give speeches ranging in length. He set records with speeches lasting over 90 minutes last year, but we do have history to go on here. During his 2016 inauguration, President Trump delivered a 16-minute address, composed of 1,433 words. It was the shortest inaugural address since former President Jimmy Carter’s in 1977.
