America's uniquely unique peaceful transfer of power? I am inclined to agree with General Flynn:
Given the changes of location for the inauguration due to security, the walk away point of it all is that the outgoing administration cannot or will not secure the inauguration sufficiently for the United States of America to hold a peaceful transfer of power.

Katie Hopkins has a subtly different but not incompatible take - that a last-minute indoor inauguration was the plan all along:
Hopkins in DC: Word on the street - inauguration pulled to keep the President alive & get him in the White House.
Planned perfectly. Late switch. Enemies thwarted. Beautifully done. pic.twitter.com/sf4F9u3NT5 — Katie Hopkins (@KTHopkins) January 19, 2025
Trump's first term was in large part subverted by the Permanent State, which declined to recognise the "head of the executive branch" as such. One should take it as read that they will attempt to do the same this time round.
However, things have degenerated further since 2017. A significant chunk of that Permanent State wants the forty-seventh president dead. It is only six months since a total failure of US security led to a supposed "lone wolf" putting a bullet in Trump. Well, assassination attempts can happen to anyone, I guess. But what are we to make of the Democrat-media complex's total lack of interest in either of 47's would-be killers? Both men remain as unknown as they were twenty-four hours after either incident. A prudent person - which Trump should certainly be after the last eight years - would conclude that high-ranking elements in the federal state are, to put it at its mildest, not ill-disposed toward anyone minded to go for third time lucky.
