【temple of eroticism】It rained on Donald Trump. Is it a blessing, the sky weeping or just, you know, weather?

Mere moments before Donald Trump began to address the crowds as the 45th President of the United States,temple of eroticism the skies over Washington D.C. opened up and it began to rain.

The jury's still out on whether this is a sign of God's blessing (or perhaps weeping) or just that thing called rain that happens a lot, but a lot of people have opinions about it.

The rain began almost immediately after Mike Pence took his oath of office, and it certainly seemed... fitting, for the occasion.

Here comes the rain. The skies are weeping. #Inauguration

Rain is starting just before Trump takes the oath. Even God is trolling him.

The rain continued through President Trump's inaugural address, the drops becoming visible on his suit and the several transparent umbrellas and little ponchos everyone whipped out.

The fight to claim the sky's emotion was reclaimed, however, in a prayer from evangelist Franklin Graham.

"Mr. President, in the Bible, rain is a sign of God’s blessing. And it started to rain, Mr. President, when you came to the platform."

Franklin Graham: "In the Bible - rain is a sign of God's blessing." Amen!

Others still were quick to point out the bible's differing takes on the meaning of rain.

'He causes his sun to rise on the evil & the good, & sends rain on the righteous & the unrighteous.' Matt 5:45 https://t.co/VuoLsuliW5

ah yes, the famous biblical rain that blessed the earth and did not wipe it out

"Rain is a sign of God's blessing." Oh, you mean that thing he destroyed the planet with because it sucked so bad.

Of course, there is also the precedent of what rain has meant in past inaugurals, as pointed out by CNN.

CNN's definitely not rooting for this, or anything pic.twitter.com/P9gWtfUu0K

Who do you think the rain voted for?
