At a pre-inauguration rally dubbed the ‘Make America Great Again Victory Rally’, President-elect Donald Trump declared that Apple CEO Tim Cook intends to invest in the U.S., following in the footsteps of DAMAC and Softbank. Trump outlined his agenda for his first days back in office, promising a wave of executive orders aimed at reversing Biden-era policies and addressing key issues.
Trump stated his intention to sign over 200 executive actions on his first day, focusing on border security, immigration, and repealing what he termed "radical and foolish" orders from the Biden administration. He also pledged to declassify remaining records related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr., initiate construction of a missile defense shield, and provide relief for North Carolina following hurricane damage. He further hinted at positive developments for January 6th protesters who have been charged or convicted.
Trump emphasized his commitment to delivering significant achievements in his first 100 days, highlighting his "all-star cabinet." He reiterated his plans for a large-scale deportation operation, exceeding the scale of those conducted under President Eisenhower. He also pledged to prioritize American energy independence to combat inflation and lower energy costs.
The rally featured prominent Trump supporters, including musicians Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood, UFC CEO Dana White, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, and actor Jon Voight, who will serve as a special ambassador to Hollywood. Voight praised Trump's victory and his commitment to making America "thrive again, great again, and safer again."
Trump downplayed President Biden's role in the recent hostage and ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, attributing progress to his incoming Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump thanked Witkoff for his efforts, asserting that the conflict would have been avoided under his presidency.
Trump concluded his speech by reaffirming his "Make America Great Again" agenda, stating that "it all starts tomorrow" with his second inauguration.
