Friday was a strange day. Everything seemed to proceed rather innocuously. We’re all still here, but that doesn’t say anything for the unsettling unknown still to come.
At HuffPost Comedy, we like to stay relevant and avoid appearing tone-deaf but, also, the funny doesn’t stop here. (Some would argue that it hasn’t really started either, but anywayyyy ...)
Here are some of the funniest tweets from Friday’s historic day:

You guys, relax. I watched the inauguration on CNN, that means it was FAKE NEWS. Obama is probably still president.

Well, he did it. Now Trump can collect his $1 from the Duke brothers and dispense with this silly charade. #Inauguration

Donald Trump is signing a stack of documents. I'll tell you one he's never signed - a tax return. #Inauguration #InaugurationDay
