Trump speaks to the public in Washington, D.C., four years after the Capitol riot.
On the eve of his inauguration, he held a victory rally with his supporters in the form of a presidential campaign.
It's an inauguration celebration that didn't exist in the past.

Supporters who were unable to watch the event in person expressed disappointment as the inauguration ceremony was changed to indoors due to the Arctic wave.
250,000 inauguration tickets were distributed, but only 600 people entered the Capitol where the inauguration ceremony will be held,
This is because there are only 20,000 people in the nearby indoor stadium where the inauguration ceremony will be watched on the
large screen.
[Michelle Smith / Napa, California] Tickets have become obsolete as inauguration ceremonies take place indoors. It's a terrible feeling. I understand, but I'm very disappointed.
Most of the participants from South Korea, including ruling and opposition politicians, are reportedly not allowed to enter the indoor stadium as well as inside the Capitol.
Trump, who held a fireworks event at his golf course the day before, continued to lay flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National Cemetery.
Vice President Vance met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng, who visited the U.S. as an inaugural congratulatory envoy, to discuss pending issues.
In the midst of this, there were reports that Trump mentioned the impeachment situation in South Korea.
When I was talking to a close aide at my Florida home, everyone called me chaos, but I jokingly told them to look at Korea.
He also reportedly mentioned that he would meet with President Yoon Suk Yeol if he stopped impeaching him.
However, it has not been determined when, who, and in what context the remarks were made.
