Jonathan Pie explains it

As a DC person, I can tell you that Trump's inauguration is basically completely unplanned compared to the 6 or 7 I have seen before. It's in two weeks and we still don't know if there will be any balls going on that shut down parts of the city. Normally the convention center across the street from my office is booked by now and Secret Service has started informing us that we will need ID to access our building in the day or two leading up to the day.

I just had a conversation with my son's sax tutor. He's in the Marine band. He knows the band will be doing something that day, but he doesn't know what. Parade? Probably. Ceremony? He doesn't know. He says it's always been nailed down by now.

I don't know what this can tell you about a Trump presidency. Maybe just that he has absolutely no organization in place to do this stuff and that he's completely overwhelmed.

Will there even be an inaugural ball? A single one? Normally there are a half a dozen or so.
