Jon Voight's speech at Thursday's "Make America Great Again: Welcome Celebration" at the Lincoln Memorial was met with roaring applause from the crowd.
One of Donald Trump's few Hollywood supporters, Voight praised the President-elect saying he will save America.
"This is some day," Voight said. "Dear friends, fellow Americans. I’m so happy to be here to welcome you all to the inauguration of the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump."

"God answered all our prayers," Voight added.
He concluded by saying Abraham Lincoln was smiling knowing "America will be saved by an honest and good man who will work for all the people, no matter their creed or color."
