An elated Donald Trump promised to act with "historic speed and intensity" when he returns to the White House on Monday, unveiling a series of executive orders targeting illegal immigration, transgender rights and other right-wing priorities.

“We won, we won,” Trump declared on his triumphant return to Washington on Sunday, where he held a raucous “victory rally” with thousands of supporters at a downtown stadium. "It feels so good. We love winning, don't we? We're going to make our country greater than ever."

The incoming 47th president delivered a typically boisterous speech that mixed boasts, false claims and sweeping promises, setting the stage for his midday inauguration on Monday and the subsequent populist blitz.

"Starting tomorrow, I will move with historic speed to address every crisis our country faces," he said.

"Every one of the Biden administration's radical, stupid executive orders will be repealed within hours of me being sworn in. You'll have fun watching. Someone said yesterday, don't sign so many in one day, we're going to take weeks time to do it. I said, hell... no, we’ll do it tomorrow.”

As on the campaign trail, Trump has prioritized illegal immigration, painting a horrific picture of an America that is a land of open borders but is preyed upon by violent thugs released from foreign prisons as far away as Congo. siege. He played a video showing crimes allegedly committed by undocumented people.

"By the time the sun sets tomorrow, the invasion of our country will have stopped," he said. "The border security measures I will outline in my inaugural address tomorrow will be the most aggressive and comprehensive effort to restore the border the world has ever seen."

Trump reiterated his campaign promise to launch the largest deportation campaign in U.S. history that would deport millions of immigrants — an operation of such scale that could take years and be costly.

The event was his first major speech in Washington since speaking on January 6, 2021, when an angry mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Trump said he would pardon many of the more than 1,500 people convicted or charged in connection with the attacks, calling them "hostages."

He said: "Everyone on this very big stage tomorrow will be very happy with my decision regarding the J6 hostages. Very happy. I think you will be very, very happy."

This pre-inauguration rally is unlike any the incoming president has held before. Thousands of people lined up outside Capital One Arena on a cold, gray and snowy day. Slogans on the sweaters include "Make America Great Again," "Pro God, Pro Gun" and "Proud J6er" (a reference to January 6).

As Trump walked down the stairs, Lee Greenwood sang the iconic campaign song "God Bless America" ​​and the crowd cheered, chanting "USA! USA!" He stood on the red carpet under basketball and ice hockey banners, but the top floor was virtually was empty and promised to "take back our country."

"Tomorrow at noon, America's four-year decline ends, and we begin a new day that demonstrates America's strength, prosperity, dignity and pride," the president-elect said.

He went on to take credit for the release of the Gaza hostages on Sunday and the return of TikTok to American consumers. "Starting today, TikTok is back," he said, before falsely claiming that he "won the youth vote" thanks to his support for the app. Trump increased his share of youth voters in 2024 but still lost to Kamala Harris.

Trump said he would direct the military to build the Iron Dome missile defense system. He also pledged to "drive the ideology of radical wokeness out of our military" and played a video interspersed with scenes of a bullying instructor from the movie "Full Metal Jacket" and an alleged meeting with Biden-Harry Clips about transgender people from the Sri Lankan government.

As the crowd cheered, Trump said: "We're going to get critical race theory and trans madness out of schools...and that's going to be done tomorrow. We're going to stop men from participating in women's sports."

He shared plans to travel to Los Angeles on Friday to survey the damage from wildfires that killed at least 27 people and burned California's largest urban area in at least 40 years.

Trump further pledged to reverse the "excessive secrecy" of government documents, appearing to be a reference to the federal indictment that he withheld classified documents after leaving office. He promised to release classified documents related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

The rally was attended by the world's richest man, Elon Musk, who spent $200 million to help Trump win the election and leads a task force to cut government spending.

As the crowd cheered, Musk said: "We're looking forward to making a lot of changes. This win is really a start. What's important in the future is to really make big changes... and lay the foundation for America to be strong forever for centuries." ."Make America Great Again."

Trump appeared to reference the "horse racing theory" that certain bloodlines produce superior offspring, while praising Musk and his youngest son for joining him on stage. "If you believe the horse racing theory, he has a great, smart son," Trump said of Musk.

Trump has previously interpreted the term as "fast horses beget fast horses," referring to racehorse breeding. It was sometimes used by white supremacists, Nazis and eugenicists to promote racial purity.

The rally also included a performance by musician Kid Rock and speeches by Hollywood actor Jon Voight, as well as Trump's sons Eric and Don Jr. and granddaughter Kay.

Trump concluded his hour-long speech with a performance by The Village People, who sang the YMCA song that has ended nearly all of Trump's campaign rallies. Trump swayed around the stage, shaking his head as they performed.

Magathas welcomed Trump's plan to target the Jan. 6 rioters. "He needs to pardon them," said Felecia Hicks, 30, of McAlester, Okla. My mom was there that day and she was probably one of the people wrongfully accused One of the people.

"I believe it was the Capitol Police who incited a lot of what happened, and there were a lot of infiltrators who looked like Trump supporters that added to the chaos. There were a lot of people who were falsely accused, and they didn't get the justice they deserved."

Hicks, a special education assistant who has supported Trump since 2016, said of his other plans: "He needs to look at our vaccines and take the red dye and other things out of our food. I believe him There are a lot of different things that need to be done and I don’t want to be the one who prioritizes the priorities.”

Reina Decapua, 52, of Carmel, Indiana, attended her first Trump rally "because he's going to be a great president. I like his policies. I like him Tell you what he thinks."

She added that Trump's top priorities should be clearing out illegal immigration, completing the wall on the southern border and maintaining the 2017 tax cuts.

Irving King, 49, of Washington, D.C., said he came to see wrestler Hulk Hogan, a fan of whom he has been a fan since childhood. “It makes sense that he’s a Trump supporter because he’s a conservative,” he said. "Trump is on the right track because we need change. I hope he makes it easier for us to pay our groceries and pay our bills."
