Trump’s Final Rally: A Call for Change
On the eve of his inauguration, Donald Trump held his last pre-office rally at Washington’s Capital One Arena, addressing thousands of supporters at the Make America Great Again (MAGA) Victory Rally. In a powerful speech, he declared, “We are going to make our country greater than ever before… We are going to take back our country tomorrow at noon. The curtain closes on four long years of American decline, and we begin a brand-new day of American strength, prosperity, dignity, and pride. Once and for all, we are going to end the reign of a failed, corrupt political establishment.”
A High-Profile Guest List
Trump’s inauguration has drawn an elite guest list, featuring top political leaders and global dignitaries. Notable attendees include:
- India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar
- Chinese Vice President Han Zheng
- Top representatives from the UK and Germany
- Former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama
Tech Titans and Corporate Backing
Several major tech and crypto companies have contributed to Trump’s inauguration fund, including Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), and Adobe. This support signals a potential shift in Trump’s relationship with Silicon Valley, which was previously marked by tension.
Adding to the tech developments, TikTok restored its services in the U.S. just hours after Trump assured that he would extend the delay on the federal ban on the app. During his pre-inauguration speech, he stated, “We need to save TikTok,” hinting at a possible policy shift.
