On the eve of his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump boasted to campaign donors about his election victory and the hard work behind it and touted an incoming Cabinet “the likes of which has never been appointed.”
An upbeat Trump delivered meandering remarks Thursday night at a black-tie “candlelight dinner” for donors at Union Station that capped off a day of inaugural activities in advance of his swearing in as the nation’s 45th president on Friday.
Trump began by reminiscing about “this beautiful map” that emerged on election night, one that showed him with more electoral votes than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, despite his loss in the popular vote.
“There were a lot of red states that weren’t supposed to be red,” Trump told the crowd. “That was some big victory. .. Records were set that haven’t been beaten since Ronald Reagan.”
He also cited another factor in his victory: “I think I outworked anybody who ever ran for office.”
Trump predicted Republicans would pick up seats in Congress in two years and said that when he seeks reelection in 2020, “we’re going to win the old-fashioned way: We’re going to win because we did so well” in office.
With several of his Cabinet nominees facing rough confirmation proceedings in the Senate, Trump declared that “the other side is going absolutely crazy.”

He also said the crowd at a “welcome concert” at the Lincoln Memorial had vastly exceeded his expectations and that he was not getting enough credit for the remarks he delivered there.
“The big one is tomorrow at around 12,” Trump said, referring to his inaugural speech.
“It may rain, it may not rain,” Trump said. “I don’t really care.”
He cited one advantage to a potential downpour: “People will realize it’s my real hair.”
