He could sign as many as 100 orders tomorrow, with some coming into force immediately. Trump says he will end ‘four years of American decline’ as he opens rally speech – Donald Trump is now speaking on the eve of “taking back our country”, as he puts it. He says the curtain is closing on “four years of American decline” tomorrow at his inauguration, adding his usual promise to unlock the “liquid gold” under their feet – oil.

“And we are going to make America great again,” he says, before boasting about his election victory in what he describes as the greatest political movement ever. Trump claims credit for Olympics and World Cup bids – Donald Trump is running through a variety of topics now. He champions actors Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight, all of whom he’s making “ambassadors to Hollywood” to put it “back on track”.

“So they’re all ambassadors, you have to refer to them as ambassador,” he says. He moves on to the Olympics in 2028, which will be in Los Angeles in 2028 and the football World Cup in 2026, partly hosted by the US. Taking credit for the US hosting bid’s in each sporting event, he says the LA Olympics will be “one of the great sporting events and patriotic celebrations in history”.

“I got the Olympics and I got the World Cup,” he says, referring to his first term in office. “And I said, you know, it’s too bad, one was in 2026 and the other was in 2028.  “And I said, I won’t be there. I won’t be your president. But then they rigged the election and now we won. So, I’m going to be your president.” No evidence has ever been found to support Trump’s baseless claim the election he lost four years ago was rigged or stolen.

‘We’ll release remaining JFK records’, Trump says – Another pledge just repeated by Donald Trump now. He says in the coming days he will “make public” remaining records around the assassination of former President John F Kennedy and “other topics of great public interest”. He also mentions Martin Luther King Jr. “It’s all going to be released,” he adds.

Musk appears with son as crowd boos mention of journalist – Elon Musk has now made a brief appearance, as Donald Trump invites the billionaire on stage. Musk, the soon-to-be head of the new Department of Government Efficiency, joined Trump at the podium with his young son. “We’re going to do great things here,” he tells the audience.

Moments before, the crowd jeered at Trump’s mention of ABC News anchor David Muir, who moderated the only debate Trump had with rival candidate Kamala Harris during the election. ‘Lots’ of executive orders tomorrow, as Trump vows to send illegal immigrants ‘back home’ Donald Trump is expected to sign dozens of executive orders tomorrow – some before he’s even reached the White House, as we reported at 8.12pm.

And he’s just doubled down on his promise to enact his agenda on day one. “You’re going to see something tomorrow,” he tells the crowd. “You’re going to see executive orders that are going to make you extremely happy. Lots of them. “We have to set our country on the proper course by the time the sun sets tomorrow evening. The invasion of our borders will have come to a halt. “And all the illegal border trespassers will, in some form or another, be on their way back home.”

More than 50 – We understand from our US partner network NBC News he intends to sign more than 50 executive orders after he takes his oath of office tomorrow. That total could ultimately top 100, but Trump’s team is still working through options and some may be released over the following days. Trump is expected to sign several of these orders publicly – some in front of a crowd at the Capital One Arena, where he’s speaking right now.

Executive orders are often made by presidents when they first take power – allowing them to force certain policies straight into law – but Trump’s expected flurry appears to be unprecedented. Trump says ‘TikTok is back’ as he repeats ownership idea – We reported earlier that Donald Trump has announced he will push back today’s ban on social media app TikTok, which is owned by a Chinese firm – see our 4.57pm post.

He’s just repeated his idea to put off the ban permanently if the US can own half of it. “As of today, TikTok is back,” he says, with service resuming for some in the US over the past few hours. “I said, I’ll approve, but let the United States of America own 50% of TikTok.  “I’m approving on behalf of the United States. So they’ll have a partner, the United States, and they’ll have a lot of bidders. And the United States will do what we call a joint venture.” He doesn’t offer further details on that.
