Trump reveals the exact time his admin will be ‘fully operational’ in first rally-style speech since election

President-elect Trump electrified the crowd at the Phoenix Convention Center during his first rally-styled speech since his decisive win over Vice President Kamala Harris last month. Speaking at Turning Point’s annual AmericaFest, Trump confidently estimated the exact time his administration will be “fully operational” on January 20th, saying, “You just have a few days to wait. We’re going to be fully operational, I would say, by about 2:00 on the 20th.”

The event, billed as part of the “biggest conservative movement in the country,” saw Trump take a victory lap for his electoral win and preview his upcoming administration. He reminisced about the successes of his first term, particularly highlighting the booming economy and promised to do even more in his upcoming term. Trump exuded confidence in his ability to lead the country to new heights.

During his speech, Trump made several bold statements regarding his plans for his second administration. He called for the U.S. to regain control of the Panama Canal, emphasizing its importance for U.S. commerce and national security. He also announced plans for the largest deportation operation in American history and a campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of drug use, particularly fentanyl.

In addition to focusing on border security and immigration, Trump reiterated his support for former Fox News host Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense, despite allegations against him. He also celebrated his other Cabinet picks, including Pam Bondi as attorney general and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Trump vowed to unleash the energy industry, remove “woke” policies from schools and the military, and address issues such as transgender rights and child sexual mutilation. He quoted his mother, describing Democrats as “befuddled” following the election, and expressed hope that they would eventually join his side.

AmericaFest, which began on December 19th, is set to conclude following Trump’s speech. The event aims to reenergize conservative students and voters while celebrating the greatness of the United States. With a capacity of about 14,000 people, the venue saw approximately 21,000 tickets sold for the event, highlighting the enthusiasm and support for President-elect Trump and his vision for the country.
