Donald Trump has held a rally in Washington DC on the night before his second White House stint begins. “Starting tomorrow, I will act with historic speed of strength and fix every single crisis facing our country,” the US president-elect said, teeing up a barrage of executive orders targeting illegal immigration, transgender rights and other rightwing priorities.
The Australian billionaires Anthony Pratt and Gina Rinehart are all aboard the Trump 2.0 train, pledging their loyalty via full-page ads in US newspapers. The rapper Nelly has defended his decision to perform at Trump’s inauguration, which falls on Martin Luther King Day.
