'TikTok is back': Trump appeals to young voters in pre-inauguration rally
President-elect Donald Trump rallied with supporters in Washington, previewing executive orders he plans to sign on Day 1 and dancing with The Village People.
WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump — the oldest man to win the presidency — offered himself Sunday as a champion of the youth, saying that decades from now, his youngest supporters would hail him as one of the greatest to call the White House home.
“Someday, 30 years from now, 40 years from now, 50 years from now, some of these young people are going to say, ‘I remember Donald Trump, he did a good job,’” Trump asserted here during a pre-inaugural rally at Capital One Arena.

Trump, who will be sworn in for a second time Monday, attributed the strides he made with younger voters in part to his newfound support of TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media company that he once favored putting out of business but that he has more recently embraced.
On Sunday, Trump announced that one of his first moves upon returning to office will be to sign an executive order that delays a ban the Supreme Court upheld last week. The announcement followed a brief interruption to TikTok’s availability in the United States.
