President-elect Trump said at a pre-inaugural rally at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. that "tomorrow at noon, the curtain closes on four long years of American decline.”

Trump promised a "brand-new day of American strength, prosperity, dignity, and pride."

He declared that the "invasion" of the border will end when he takes office.

"End the occupation, liberate America," read a message on video about "migrant crime" that was played during his speech.

Trump also said the Republican Party is united as he enters the White House.

He vowed to begin fixing "every single crisis" facing the country with speed.

He touched upon on the controversy surrounding TikTok going dark on Saturday night.

"TikTok is back," he said.

Trump touted the "epic" ceasefire and hostage agreement between Israel and Hamas but expressed caution.

"Who knows what's going to happen," he said.

Trump told the audience that in the coming days, he is “going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy as well as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”

Recording artist Lee Greenwood performed, "God Bless the USA" as Trump took the stage.
