Jakarta, February, 9,  2025

The inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States took place on Monday, January 20, 2025 held inside the United States Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. In the inauguration so many distinguished guests  including the former US Presidents,  President Biden and Kamala Harris as an opponent of the Trump on the election race. Furthermore,  there are several tech titans and business moguls  such as Mark Zuckerberg (META), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Sundar Pichai (Google CEO), Elon Musk (X) and Shou Zi Chew, (CEO of TikTok) and they were seated behind first lady Melania Trump,

Probably, several questions will appear what is the reason mostly former the US Presidents should attended the inauguration day of President elected? and why the tech titan or business moguls attended too? 

Why most former Presidents attended? There are many factors but the main factor caused by  “the tradition” in every inauguration day of  Presidents in the whole world. This tradition not only happened and kept continuing in the US Presidential inauguration,   but all the Presidential inauguration across the world including in Indonesia,  should be attended by former Presidents. The tradition kept going lives because it has a meaning,  it should announces messages to  people and to the world, that the state in a controlled and stable after general election.

The importance of that messages caused by every general elections in the world  tend to make a country divided between them. A group or most of the people still in the nuances unstable, the other supporters still euphoria because their presidential candidates that they supported before has became the winner  and the contrary, the others  was still feel anxious, disappointed and  frustrated because  the candidates  that they supported  turn  out to lose  in the election race.

So that is why all former Presidents should attend, even the opponent of the president at the election race, because the country   wants to deliver  messages not only for people inside the country but also to the whole countries in the world that the country are stable and has been recovered and ready to execute and drive the country to pursue its goals according to the constitution. The messages did not stop only at that point but the messages should  deliver that the  country are ready again to cooperate with other countries and ready to protect people interests.

Which element  is the most interested about stable and controlled state from the inauguration of President? That is The Market!. Despite all  of the debates about existence and role of the market and role of the state (government) in many arguments or theories, actually in these times all human life in the world mostly determined by the market, so that is why Its should  deliver good or calm messages to the market, because  if all government only relies on itself, ignore  the market,   they could not serves and  continue the life of  people without the existences of the market.

This is the reason’s root why this tradition kept going and still  implement at the whole countries  in the world.  So that is why, if formers President or opponent of the President elected did not attend, the messages that would be delivered that the country  (political power of the state)  had still  unrecovered, unstable and uncontrolled  from the political conflicts. It means that the government is not ready fully to  be connect properly  with the market. In other words,  Mr President  as a Chief of State or Chief of Government are still wavering to face with The Market include Mrs Market.

Who is Mrs Market? 

What is the market? the market is the place where all human being’s goods and services  created, produced and available that made by creativity and innovation of  human beings  to fulfill human needs and develop civilization. The market had been  operating  with money or currency as a tool of exchange between one another.

At the beginning,  markets are only limited to small area and now it was thriving globally, without limits and  breaking through the state’s sovereignty  border. Who is Mrs market? Mrs Market is people who created, managed or drive businesses  that produce goods and services all the needs of civilization. They grow with creativity and innovation to make lives easier and chill  day by day, to reduce, to solve and to remove all  problem human being face along this time and the future. That is the Mrs Market. Mrs Market need people as professionals, executive officer, workers, distributor, companies, other forms of supply chain to the buyer and end users. 

Mrs Market also need the government that are ruled by the people, of the people and for the people. All the people  are the market itself, so it means that the Government and other branches of power created, formed and ruled by the market. Mrs Market absolutely need the market existences.
