President-elect Donald Trump celebrated the eve of his second inauguration with a rally Sunday at the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington. “Tomorrow at noon, the curtain closes our four long years of American decline, and we begin a brand new day of American strength and prosperity, dignity and pride,” Trump said. “Once and for all, we’re going to end the reign of a failed and corrupt political establishment in Washington.
“Have us submit those changes, and it will set the foundation for America to be strong for a century, for centuries, forever.” Former congressman Madison Cawthorn and British MP Nigel Farage were among guests in attendance at the 20,000-seat arena, home to the NBA’s Washington Wizards and NHL’s Washington Capitals. Events on the scale of Sunday’s rally are rare for incoming presidents who generally lay low on the day before their inauguration.
