WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump returned from a campaign-style rally at a Washington, D.C., arena to the White House to sign more executive orders, including a sweeping one that pardoned those convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Earlier after taking the oath of office and events at the Capitol, Trump spoke to a roaring crowd at Capital One Arena, where he also signed several executive orders.

Now that he's finished signing the orders, Trump is attending several inaugural balls.

"Today is about President Trump and starting to undo some of the disasters from the past four years," Miller said shortly after the news of Biden's inauguration day pardons broke.

"I really don't care about Joe Biden anymore," Miller added. "This is about the plan of action President Trump is going to start implementing, starting today."
