Donald Trump supporters attend concert to celebrate inauguration
ByReporter
Donald Trump told supporters: “You’re not forgotten any more,” as he joined thousands of people at a concert on the eve of his inauguration.
The two-hour event – dubbed the Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration – took place at Washington’s Lincoln Memorial, where country stars Lee Greenwood and Toby Keith and rock band 3 Doors Down were among the headline acts.
US President-elect Mr Trump had reportedly struggled to attract famous names to take part in the concert, while Broadway star Jennifer Holliday pulled out of the gig citing concerns raised by fans from the LGBT community.
Addressing the crowd, Mr Trump said: “We’re going to unify our country. We’re going to make American great for all our people.
“On the campaign I called it ’the forgotten man and the forgotten woman’. You’re not forgotten any more.
“We’re going to do things that haven’t been done for our country for many, many decades. It’s going to change.”
