Donald Trump Jr says father's 'doing great'

Donald Trump was wearing his signature red power tie this morning, as he left Blair House to kick off Inauguration Day.
The soon-to-be 45th President of the United States was accompanied by his wife Melania, who channeled Jackie Kennedy in a chic powder blue dress, jacket and gloves.
The Donald is attending church with his family at St. John's Episcopal before he is sworn in around 11:30am on the steps of the Capitol Building.


All of his children were in attendance with him Friday morning, except his youngest Barron, age 10.
In a phone call with Good Morning America on Friday, the mogul-turned-politician's eldest son Donald Trump Jr said he was raring to get the day's events going.
'He's doing great. He doing well. He's just excited to do this,' Donald Jr said of his father. 'He's amazed and thrilled that the American people have intrusted him to take this country in a different direction - to bring it forward and to do things and to give them that voice that he mentioned last night, that has been gone for so long. So it's just truly incredible.'

When asked if his father stayed up late Thursday night, working on his Inaugural Address, Donald Jr said his father had been writing it for 'quite some time' - making sure to get it just right.
Donald Jr says his father realizes the magnitude of the speech and how it will set the tone for his presidency.
'He spent a lot of time with that and now I think it's about execution,' Donald Jr said.

Donald Jr also spoke about how his father's election had touched him personally.
'Eric and I and Ivanka, we've been in every small town in this country. We've met so many incredible people - people that have journeyed from all parts of the country to be able to be here to watch this event,' Donald Jr said.
'Literally just seeing some of them along the way and running into them here now, it's really overwhelming. And I'm not a person that tends to look at those things that kind of way. It's truly special when you think of the significance and the history.'
Donald Jr was calling from Blair House, the president's guest house where president-elects traditionally stay the night before their Inauguration.
'We're in Blair House now and thinking of him looking at the walls and all the things that happened here and the people who stayed here and the major decisions that have been made here, and that's before we even get to the White House. It's like something I've never felt before.'
Donald Trump Jr will be standing behind his father at 11:30am this morning outside the Capitol Building, as he takes the oath of office and then gives his Inaugural Address. The newly sworn-in president and his family will then watch the Inaugural Parade from a covered area outside the White House.
Trump was up early Friday morning - going about business as usual by tweeting.
'It all begins today!' Trump tweeted at daybreak. 'THE MOVEMENT CONTINUES - THE WORK BEGINS!'
Ebullient Trump supporters flocked to the nation's capital for the inaugural festivities, some wearing red hats emblazoned with his 'Make America Great Again' campaign slogan. But in a sign of deep divisions Trump sowed during his combative campaign, dozens of Democratic lawmakers were boycotting the swearing-in ceremony on Capitol Hill.
While Trump came to power bucking convention, he was wrapping himself in the traditional pomp and pageantry that accompanies the peaceful transfer of power. The president-in-waiting will attend church with his family Friday morning, then meet President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama for tea at the White House. The Trumps and the Obamas will travel together in the presidential limousine for the short trip to the Capitol for the noon swearing-in ceremony.
Trump supporters started lining up at security checkpoints before dawn to take their places in the quadrennial rite of democracy.
'I'm here for history,' said Kevin Puchalski, a 24-year-old construction worker who drove from Philadelphia to attend the swearing-in. 'This is the first president that I voted for that won.' His big hope: Trump builds that promised wall on the U.S.-Mexican border. 'Keep the illegals out,' he said.
Protesters, too, were out early, some wearing orange jumpsuits with black hoods over their faces.
Eleanor Goldfield, who helped organize the Disrupt J20 protest, said demonstrators hope to show they will not be silent throughout Trump's presidency. She called Trump supporters 'misguided,
