--- ---  # New York's Rival Tabloids Unite on Donald Trump Inauguration Headline  by [Katie Reilly](https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/)  ## Katie Reilly Jan 20, 2017 12:37 PM UTC  New York Post/Daily News  by [Katie Reilly](https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/)  ## Katie Reilly Jan 20, 2017 12:37 PM UTC New York City’s tabloids, known for their dueling provocative headlines, had the same idea on the day of [Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration](http://time.com/4640005/donald-trump-inauguration-test/?xid=homepage). The New York _Post_ and the New York _Daily News_—both of which chronicled Trump’s life as a [real estate mogul](http://time.com/4629308/donald-trump-business-deals-world-map/) and New York City celebrity decades before covering his ascent to the presidency—chose the same headline Friday: “Don of a New Day.” Both publications plastered the headline over similar photos of the president-elect and soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump at a celebratory [concert in front of the Lincoln Memorial](http://time.com/4640346/donald-trump-lincoln-memorial/) on Thursday. It’s rare that the front pages of the _Post_ and the _Daily News_ sync up exactly. Even when they place the same news on their front page, they usually compete for the most clever headline. > [](https://twitter.com/NYDailyNews/status/822274826891132929) > [](https://twitter.com/nypost/status/822284455956148225) Trump Inauguration: New York's Tabloids Unite on Headline ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4640625/new-york-post-daily-news-donald-trump-inauguration-headline/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4640625/new-york-post-daily-news-donald-trump-inauguration-headline/"},"headline":"New York's Rival Tabloids Unite on Donald Trump Inauguration Headline","datePublished":"2017-01-20T12:37:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T02:49:31.402Z","description":"\"Don of a New Day\"","url":"https://time.com/4640625/new-york-post-daily-news-donald-trump-inauguration-headline/","keywords":["White House","Donald Trump","inauguration","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltde22d3f9eca86500/6988b6527cdbac90afd56d84/untitled-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltde22d3f9eca86500/6988b6527cdbac90afd56d84/untitled-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"untitled-1","caption":"","creditText":"New York Post/Daily News","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4640625/new-york-post-daily-news-donald-trump-inauguration-headline/","name":"New York's Rival Tabloids Unite on Donald Trump Inauguration Headline"}}]}] ```
