Washington (TDI): Donald Trump promised a blitz of presidential actions to end “American decline,” telling a fired-up inauguration eve rally on Sunday that he would crack down on woke ideology and immigration.
Trump promised cheering supporters that he would act with “historic speed” from day one of his White House comeback.
“Tomorrow at noon, the curtain closes on four long years of US decline, and we start a brand new day of American strength and prosperity,” Trump told a packed sports arena.
“I will act with historic speed and strength and fix every single crisis facing the United States.”
Trump was joined on stage by Elon Musk — the tech tycoon who will lead a major cost-cutting drive in his administration — and who promised to make the US strong “for centuries.”

Much of Trump’s hour-long speech focused on immigration, driving home one of the dark messages that helped spur his remarkable win in November’s presidential election over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
“We’re going to stop the invasion of our borders,” Trump said, who has vowed to launch raids targeting undocumented migrants within days of assuming office.

But he also promised “lots” of executive orders from his first day back in White House, including one to ban “transgender insanity” and critical race theory from schools and to keep trans athletes out of women’s sports.
Trump also reiterated a promise to release files on the killings of former president John F Kennedy, his brother Bobby Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
