“Against all odds, we did it — together, with the incredible people of this nation and the greatest political movement in history,” Eric Trump wrote. “I have never been prouder of anyone than myself [Donald Trump]. He stood steadfast, indeed possessing steely courage. Our country is in great hands. The madness is over. America is in an age of renewal.”
On Sunday, Trump will attend a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery and a “Make America Great Again” rally, followed by a candlelit dinner.
The inauguration will take place at noon on Monday in the Capitol Rotunda, due to the cold temperatures in the area. Then Trump, only the second president in history to win non-consecutive terms, will deliver his inaugural address.
