“…[D]ay one – which I will consider to be Monday as opposed to Friday or Saturday. Right? I mean my day one is gonna be Monday because I don’t want to be signing and get it mixed up with lots of celebration,” Trump said, according to a transcript of the interview.

Trump will be inaugurated on Friday and is expected to attend celebrations that night.

The idea of the president-elect waiting until Monday until he starts issuing orders got attention on Twitter.
