President-elect Donald Trump told supporters at the Lincoln Memorial Thursday night he would be cheering them on during his historic inauguration – and even predicted a 'beautiful day' despite a rainy forecast.

'I'm going to be cheering you on. You're going to cheer me on, but I'm going to cheer you on,' Trump told supporters who gathered for a pre-inaugural concert.

After defying predictions throughout his unpredictable campaign, Trump even promised a 'beautiful' swearing in when he takes the oath of office on the West Front of the Capitol Friday. 

'So I'll see you tomorrow and I don't care frankly if it's going to be beautiful or if it's going to rain like crazy. Makes no difference to me,' Trump said.

'I have a feeling it's going to be beautiful. But I will see you tomorrow.'

He continued: 'What we've done is so special. All over the world they're talking about it. All over the world. And I love you folks, and we're going to work together. And we are going to – Make America Great Again' he said, using his campaign slogan. 'And I'll add: Greater than ever before.'

Trump's optimistic, credit-sharing speech had few hints of the contentious and angry battle for the White House, which featured attacks and counter-attacks on GOP opponents and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

He mentioned giving 'speech after speech,' hinting at his rigorous campaign schedule. 

'We had tens of thousands of people ... we all knew that last month of the campaign, I think a lot of us knew the first week of the campaign, but that last month of the campaign we knew that something special was happening.'
