Donald Trump Addresses Rally on Eve of Inauguration, Pledges Immediate ActionDonald Trump held a rally at Washington’s Capital One Arena on the eve of his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, delivering a fiery address to an enthusiastic crowd. Touching on topics such as immigration, national security, and foreign policy, Trump’s speech marked his first major address in Washington since his controversial January 6, 2021, speech preceding the Capitol riots.

Immigration and Border Security
During the rally, Trump declared, “By the time the sun sets tomorrow, the invasion of our country will have come to a halt.” He reiterated his commitment to launching the largest deportation effort in U.S. history, pledging to remove millions of undocumented immigrants. He promised to “stop the invasion of our borders” and to eliminate “every illegal alien gang member and migrant criminal operating on American soil.”According to sources familiar with his plans, Trump’s first executive orders will focus heavily on border security. These include declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, reinstating the “Remain in Mexico” policy, and classifying drug cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations” to enhance enforcement measures.

Historic Speed in the Oval Office
Set to begin his second term after defeating Democrat Kamala Harris in the presidential election, Trump described his return to power as “the greatest political movement in American history.” He promised swift action on numerous issues, stating, “Starting tomorrow, I will act with historic speed and strength to fix every single crisis facing our country.”

Ending the Ukraine War and Middle East Instability
Trump took credit for the recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, calling it a “first step toward lasting peace in the Middle East” and asserting that the conflict would not have occurred under his leadership. He vowed to end the war in Ukraine, stop “chaos in the Middle East,” and prevent “World War III,” warning that the world is “closer than we realize” to global conflict.

Transparency and the Kennedy Assassination Files
Amid cheers from the crowd, Trump pledged to reverse what he called “over-classification” of government documents. He promised to release classified files related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr., fulfilling a campaign promise to bring transparency to historic events. Trump had made similar promises during his first term but faced resistance from intelligence agencies.

Building an “Iron Dome” for the U.S.
Trump announced plans to direct the U.S. military to construct a missile defense system modeled after Israel’s Iron Dome. He emphasized that this state-of-the-art shield would be built entirely in the United States, enhancing national security.

TikTok Ban and Reprieve
Trump addressed the temporary ban on TikTok, promising to “save” the popular social media platform while ensuring it complies with U.S. security requirements. He revealed plans for a 90-day delay in the ban to allow its parent company, ByteDance, to finalize a sale to non-Chinese owners. Trump also mentioned his discussions with Apple CEO Tim Cook about the company’s planned investments in the U.S.

Criticism of the Biden Administration
Trump sharply criticized the outgoing Biden administration, stating, “The curtain closes on four long years of American decline, and we begin a brand new day of American strength, prosperity, dignity, and pride.” He vowed to repeal every executive order signed by President Biden and to remove “woke” policies from schools and the military. Trump also pledged to restore patriotism in education.

Upcoming California Visit
The president-elect announced plans to visit California on January 24 to assess damage caused by recent wildfires in Los Angeles, underscoring his commitment to disaster recovery efforts.

Elon Musk Joins Advisory Role
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk was present at the rally and is set to lead the newly established ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ (DOGE). Invited on stage by Trump, Musk stated, “This victory is the start of significant changes to set the foundation for America to be strong for centuries to come.”

Inauguration Plans
Due to cold weather, Trump’s inauguration ceremony will take place indoors in the Capitol rotunda. Security will be tight, with around 25,000 law enforcement personnel expected to oversee the event.
