Pres. Donald Trump moves swiftly to implement his new agenda after inauguration

Trump shared plans to travel to L.A. on Friday to survey the damage of wildfires that killed at least 27 people and scorched the largest urban area of California in at least 40 years.

Trump said he's praying for the survivors of the Los Angeles wildfires and will help rebuild the city "more beautiful" than ever before.

He also mentioned plans to help North Carolina hurricane survivors get "rocking and rolling," arguing they've been "treated very badly as a state."

Elon Musk, co-director of Trump's DOGE initiative to dismantle parts of the federal government, stuttered a bit when he was invited onstage to discuss the program's plans.

"What matters going forward is to actually make significant changes, cement those changes and set the foundation for America to be strong for a century, for centuries, forever," said Musk, dressed in a black overcoat and tie that was dressier than his typical attire.

"This victory is the start, really," he said.

Trump repeated several of his campaign lines on immigration, including the unfounded claim that foreign governments are "emptying" their prisons, jails or mental institutions into the U.S.

He said the press excoriated him during the campaign for repeatedly bringing up the fictitious character Hannibal Lecter but suggested some of the immigrants living in the U.S. "are probably worse."

The crowd applauded as he teased plans for mass deportation, without going into detail.

"As of today, TikTok is back," Trump said to loud applause at a pre-inaugural rally in Washington. Trump credited TikTok with helping him perform much better with young voters than Republicans have historically.

"Frankly, we have no choice. We have to save it. A lot of jobs. We don't want to give our business to China. We don't want to give our business to other people."

Trump suggested he would use his leverage to seek a joint venture in which the U.S. government owns half of the company without putting up any money.

"So whether you like TikTok or not, we're going to make a lot of money," Trump said.
