President Donald Trump concluded his inaugural day with a series of balls celebrating his victory and honoring service members and supporters. His evening began at the Commander-in-Chief Ball, a military-themed event held at the Walter Washington Convention Center. Trump arrived shortly after 10 PM ET, sharing his first dance with First Lady Melania Trump to a contemporary rendition of Julia Ward Howe’s 'Battle Hymn of the Republic,' a Civil War anthem synonymous with the Union Army.
\In his brief remarks, Trump lauded his victory as a 'tremendous win,' attributing it to his connection with the American people. He praised his Pentagon chief nominee, Pete Hegseth, and spoke about the importance of supporting the military. After the Commander-in-Chief Ball, Trump moved to the Liberty Ball, also held at the convention center, which drew a diverse crowd of his supporters. He enjoyed another first dance with Melania to an unspecified song. The evening continued with musical performances by country singer Jason Aldean, rapper Nelly, and the Village People. The Trumps were joined on stage by Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance, who danced to 'Unchained Melody' by the Righteous Brothers. \Trump's engagements capped off a whirlwind day that included his formal swearing-in ceremony, an inaugural parade at Capital One Arena, and an Oval Office signing ceremony. During the day, he signed a significant number of executive orders on various issues, including border security, diversity and inclusion, January 6th, energy and the climate, and the federal workforce. The volume of executive orders signed surpassed those issued by Trump on his first day in 2017 and President Biden on his first day in office
