President Trump joined a packed Capital One Arena for an evening rally, calling it "a celebration of a big win" while exciting the crowd with a round of executive order signings.

The orders, he said, include:

-- I’ll revoke nearly 80 destructive and radical executive actions of the previous administration, one of the worst administrations in history.

-- Implementing an "immediate regulation freeze."

-- Issuing a temporary hiring freeze, including any new IRS agents as well as requiring federal workers to work from the office.

-- Withdrawing from the Paris climate accord, the international agreement aimed at combatting climate change.

-- Directing federal agencies to retain records pertaining to what he called "political persecutions under the last administration."
