... we be happy?". Still, the mood at the party in downtown Moscow was subdued compared to outbursts of joy at the news of Trump's victory in November. Revelers on Friday watched Trump make his inauguration speech in silence, and no one stood up for the American anthem , although the host suggested that all Americans should do so. At another Moscow nightclub, several dozen people began toasting Trump late Thursday. Willi Tokarev, 82, a singer who emigrated to the U. S. in the mid-1970 s and later became a music legend in Russia, topped the entertainment bill with his song "Trumplissimo America!".
