Lee Greenwood Talks About Singing "God Bless the USA" at Donald Trump's Inauguration

Lee Greenwood will be performing at the second inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. Greenwood will also perform at the Make America Great Again Victory Rally on Jan. 19 at the Capital One Arena in Washington at 3 p.m. along with singer-songwriter Kid Rock, The Village People, and Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Billy Ray Cyrus.
Greenwood has performed the song for a number of presidents, including Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. And over the years, he's formed a friendship with Donald Trump, becoming a fixture at his events
"The pageantry is wonderful. I'm excited about all of that," Greenwood told The Associated Press ahead of the inauguration. "I'm excited to sing yet again for President of the United States and particularly my friend Donald J. Trump."
"It is exciting," Greenwood said. "Here we are in a somewhat divisional state, and we need a president to unite us again like we have always hoped for. I believe President Trump is the man for that job."
He is confident Trump will be a leader and advocate for peace.
"I know that he has to have international interests at heart, protecting our allies and he will do his very best to make peace around the world and to protect our borders and make our country great."
Raised in the Baptist faith, Greenwood attributes his success as an entertainer to hard work and daily prayer.
"My wife and I go to church regularly here in Brentwood, Tennessee," he said. "We have a prayer team basically that we talk with every morning. Other than that, my feet are solidly on the ground and I trust the decisions that I make are given credence by Jesus Christ and God."
