“President-elect Donald Trump is set to speak at a rally with supporters this afternoon in Washington, his first such event in the nation’s capital since his address at the Ellipse on Jan. 6, 2021, shortly before a mob of his supporters attacked the Capitol,” the New York Times reports.
Politico: “A presidential inauguration — a second presidential inauguration! — was never going to be enough for Donald Trump.”
“So on Sunday, in the run-up to the actual inaugural, Trump is having a rally. Better than 20,000 people will cram into Capital One Arena downtown to soak up a sort of primal, animal energy experience they wouldn’t get even if they somehow scored one of the select few seats in the Capitol Rotunda on Monday at noon. And Trump himself, constitutionally averse to feeling handcuffed by the protocol and pomp followed so scrupulously by other commanders-in-chief, will get something else out of it, too — every one of the people on hand will adore him, something he knows won’t be true of many in Monday’s audience of official Washington.”
