WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump used a raucous rally on the eve of his inauguration to promise swift Day 1 action remaking the federal government, shifting federal priorities at breakneck speed and ensuring that “the curtain closes on four long years of American decline.” Supporters filled a 20,000-plus-seat arena in downtown Washington for a “Make America Great” victory celebration. They cheered as Trump said he’d take quick action on everything from cracking down on the U.S.-Mexico border to promoting oil drilling, reining in the federal workforce and eradicating diversity programs. He told the crowd: “We’re going to give them the best first day, the biggest first week and the most extraordinary first 100 days of any presidency in American history.”
