President-elect Trump estimated the precise time his administration will be “fully functional” on Jan. 20 in his first rally-styled talk since his crucial get over Vice President Kamala Harris next month. You only have a few days to rush, they say. We’re going to become fully functional, I may say, by about 2: 00 on the 20th”, Trump said from the AmericaFest level. Trump took to the stage of the Phoenix Convention Center on Sunday as part of Turning Point’s monthly AmericaFest, a four-day function billed as the “biggest traditional activity in the country” where the president won a victory lap for his electoral victory next month and also gave a demo of his presidency in the waning days of the transition phase. ” Winner is the thing that brings people up.” It’s winning. And that remained for the majority of my first time. We had the most – we had the greatest business in history, in our first word. It is now possible to call it a second term. We had the greatest business in the background of our nation, maybe in the background of any country, openly. And we did items that were impossible for anyone to do. And we’re going to accomplish them even better right away. We’re going to get cutting, as we say,’ drill, child, drill.’ We’re going to drill, child drilling, but we’re going to get doing a lot more than drilling”, he said of his win and future leadership. Republican SET TO DELIVER FIRST RALLY-STYLED SPEECH SINCE DECISIVE ELECTION WIN: ‘ BIGGEST CONSERVATIVEMOVEMENT’On Saturday night, Trump issued a concept on Truth Social, calling for the U. S. to regain command of the Panama Canal. He further stated in his speech on Sunday that” we will demand that the Panama Canal be fully, quickly, and without question” ( p. A safe Panama Canal is essential for the speedy implementation of the Navy from the Atlantic to the Pacific, according to the president. It’s an amazing issue. and significantly reduce shipping days by days, even weeks, to U.S. ports. More than 72 % of all distances from or to U.S. slots are made up of the United States. Think of that. But we constructed it. We’re the ones that use it. They gave it away”, he said. The canal’s operation began in 1914, after being under British power since its completion. It was given to Panama during President Jimmy Carter’s leadership in 1977. Trump also praised his future management, saying that his administration will also launch an advertising campaign highlighting the perils of drug use and revealing morphine that flows across the border. ” We’re going to do really huge advertising campaigns, just like a battle for running for president. We spend a lot of money, but it’ll be a pretty small amount of money, somewhat. We’re going to make an advertisement about how terrible medications are for you and how bad they are. They ruin your search. They ruin your experience. They ruin your epidermis. They ruin your smile. If you want to have terrible teeth, take a lot of methadone. If you want to have body that looks so bad, get fentanyl”, he said. According to Trump, efforts to improve border security and arrest illegal immigrants will also include efforts to secure the northern borders. ” Canada allows individuals and medications to overflow in through our northern borders. You know, we have a north boundary that’s not doing so well both. Also, people are coming in from Mexico in numbers that have never, always been seen before. We had 21 million individuals come in over the past four years”, he said. PRESSED ON BIDEN REFUSING TO SPEAK PUBLICLY AFTER A SECOND DAY OF SHUTDOWNTrump’s statement on Sunday came as Congress avoided a drawn-out government shutdown early on Saturday morning. After Trump and allies like Elon Musk criticized a more than 1,500-page act as “outrageous” and replete with increased spending, House people returned to the negotiating table last year. Trump urged Republicans to slash the debt ceiling during their discussions to prevent a government shutdown. The final bill, however, did not include a suspension of the debt ceiling. Trump has not spoken publicly since the bill’s passage, even on Sunday, according to sources who told Fox News. In his speech, Trump once more reaffirmed his support for former Fox News host Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense in his second administration while rallying support for his confirmation among senators. Hegseth fights allegations of sexual misconduct and excessive drinking. Hegseth has denied the allegations and vowed that he won’t drink” a drop of alcohol” if confirmed to Trump’s Cabinet. I have appointed Pete Hegseth as our next secretary of the defense to get woken up out of our military and restore the unquestionable strength and fighting spirit of the American armed forces. TRUMP nominates TV producer, CREATOR OF” THE APPRENTICE” TO SERVE IN NEW ADMINISTRATION He’s going to be great. You know, I’ve interviewed with him a lot on Fox, and all he ever wanted to talk about was the military”, he said. Trump also praised his other Cabinet appointments, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and Pam Bondi as attorney general. ” When you look at, like, autism from 25 years ago, and you look at it now, something’s going on. And I chose Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as my nominee. Think of it. Think of this: 25 years ago, autism, 1 in 10, 000 children. Today it’s 1 in 36 children. Is something wrong? I think so, and Robert and I, we’re going to figure it out”, he said. Trump nominates a panel to help LEAD DOJ, announces a new federal railroad administration pick, and continues his campaign rhetoric with his usual campaign cliches, vowing to follow through on his promises to open the energy sector and end “woke” laws in schools and the military. I’ll sign day one orders to put an end to all Biden production restraints. Eliminate his desire to create crazy electric vehicles. Cancel his natural gas export ban, reopen ANWR in Alaska, the biggest site potentially anywhere in the world, and declare a national energy emergency”, he said. ‘ EVIL TERRORISTS’: HOUSE GOP BORDER HAWKS RALLY AROUND TRUMP’S DEPORTATION PLAN TARGETING ‘ CARTELTHUGS’Adding at another point:” With a stroke of my pen on day one, we’re going to stop the transgender lunacy. And I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools, and middle schools, and high school. And we will keep men out of women’s sports “.Trump also quoted his mother at one point during his speech, citing her use of the word “befuddled” to describe Democrats following the election. ” If you watch television now, they’re all befuddled. They don’t know what the hell happened. They’re befuddled. To use a rather nice word that my mother used years ago when referring to a mess. But they did. They’ve lost their confidence. And he added that they should lose it for a while before coming back to our side because we want them, he said. AmericaFest kicked off on Dec. 19 in Phoenix and will conclude on Sunday following Trump’s speech. The annual gathering is billed as one that” all while celebrating the greatest country in the world” inspires conservative students and voters. The venue has about a 14, 000-person capacity, while Turning Point reported about 21, 000 tickets were sold for the convention. In a press release prior to the event, Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action chief Charlie Kirk said,” We are incredibly honored that President Trump will deliver his first rally-style speech since the election at AmFest 2024 in Phoenix.” ” This was already the largest multi-day event in the movement, and this year will be the biggest we’ve ever hosted, by far”.
