当选总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)在赢得2024年大选以来的首次集会式演讲中，对自己的选举胜利大吹大擂了近10分钟，然后转变为相信他将兑现其政府的承诺，并吹捧他的内阁人选。
特朗普在美国节(AmericaFest)上发表讲话，这是由查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)运营的保守派组织转折点(Turning Point)举办的保守派政治节日，该组织通过其在战场州的“走出去投票”(get out of vote)倡议，帮助特朗普在年轻选民中获得支持。
特朗普的讲话本质上是他已经在他的Truth Social社交媒体平台上发布的许多提议，包括他对关税和收回巴拿马运河的威胁，以及吹嘘自他获胜以来与他联系的人的数量。
他说他的言论“只是常识革命的一个小小预演。”
“因为这就是我所说的，一场常识革命即将来到美国，来到你附近的一家影院，对吗?但它是通过你们的总统唐纳德·j·特朗普(Donald J. Trump)来到你们面前的，”他说。
在他75分钟的讲话中，特朗普没有提到最近通过的政府拨款法案，该法案不包括他在最后一刻要求提高债务上限或取消债务上限。在公开反对最初的法案后，特朗普尚未对周六早些时候通过的立法发表任何评论。
然而，特朗普之前的发言者在这个问题上有话要说。特朗普的盟友呼吁议长迈克·约翰逊因与民主党人合作而失去议长职位，呼吁对投票反对该方案的共和党议员进行初选，并威胁那些对确认特朗普的一些内阁人选持观望态度的共和党参议员。
“约翰逊不能胜任这项任务。他得走了，对吧?他必须离开。约翰逊应该当众议院议长吗?”曾因藐视国会而入狱服刑的特朗普前顾问史蒂夫·班农向人群问道，人群响亮地回答了“不”
“我们现在不需要党派之争。我们现在需要超党派。谈话结束了。我们没什么好讨论的了。这只是关于特朗普总统计划的执行，”他补充道。
然而，当特朗普上台时，他花了大部分时间吹捧他的过渡努力。
“自选举以来，我们在短短的47天里取得了如此多的成就。但这只是我们作为美利坚合众国第47任总统将共同实现的目标的开始，”特朗普说。
特朗普表示，他的第二届政府将“翻过这一页”，他称这四年是拜登政府的失败之年。
“我竞选时的议程是给华盛顿带来深刻的变革，上个月，美国人民以前所未有的方式投票支持变革，人数之多前所未有。我看到他们来了，因为我认为我们都看到了，”特朗普说。
揭穿埃隆·马斯克的“骗局”
随着科技企业家埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)对这个国家的未来越来越直言不讳，包括一系列批评政府拨款法案的推文，许多立法者和学者开始讽刺马斯克实际上在管理这个国家。特朗普周日对这个想法一笑置之，称之为媒体的新“骗局”，并表示他喜欢身边有聪明人。
“不，他不会当总统。我喜欢有聪明的人…不，不，那是正在发生的。但是埃隆做得非常出色。拥有我们可以依赖的聪明人不是很好吗?”特朗普打趣道，庆祝马斯克在新成立的政府效率部的作用。
川普称赞了马斯克在宾夕法尼亚州的竞选贡献，通过提供Starlink帮助北卡罗莱纳州的飓风救援，以及他与太空探索技术公司的努力。
“不，我可以告诉你，他不会成为总统，”特朗普重复道。“我很安全。你知道为什么吗?他不是在这个国家出生的。哈哈。”
特朗普吹捧他的内阁人选
特朗普花时间赞扬了他的几个四面楚歌的内阁人选，包括他的国防部长人选皮特·海格塞斯，称他认为他将在这个角色上做得“很好”。
特朗普说:“在过去的几周里，我已经提名了一个全明星内阁，其中包括一些有史以来最坚定和最优秀的个人，他们将竞选公职，我们得到了很好的评价。我必须说，他们都做得很好，但我们对我们选择的人的评价非常好。”
他再次分享了关于疫苗与自闭症增加有关的错误信息，并表示他挑选的卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪将负责调查此事。
“想想这个，25年前，1万个孩子中有1个是自闭症，今天是36个孩子中有1个。出什么事了吗?我想是的，”他说。“罗伯特、我和所有人，我们会想出办法的……”
特朗普对他选择的国家情报总监塔尔西·加巴德(Tulsi Gabbard)发表了一句话的评论，提到了她的提名，但没有任何其他评论。他补充说，他认为他选择的领导美国联邦调查局的卡什·帕特尔“可能是他们中最伟大的导演”
会见普京
当川普在处理他第一天的优先事项时，他强调了俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京的评论，他说他已经准备好与当选总统交谈。
“普京总统说，他想尽快与我会面。所以我们必须等待。但是我们必须结束这场战争。那场战争太可怕了……”特朗普说，似乎暗指普京周四发表的公开评论。
关税、巴拿马运河和变性人面临的威胁
特朗普还重申了他对加拿大、墨西哥和中国的关税威胁，如果他们不“加紧阻止非法外国人和非法毒品涌入我国”。
“他们不能这样对待我们。我可以告诉你，他们不会长期这样对待我们，因为我们不会让他们把美国变成垃圾场。”
特朗普还加倍威胁要收回巴拿马运河，抱怨向美国海军和美国企业收取的费用:“对我们国家的这种完全欺骗将立即停止。这种情况将会停止，”他说。
由于特朗普在竞选的最后几个月强调反跨性别言论，他说他将在第一天签署行政命令，以结束儿童性器官切割，让跨性别者离开军队，并让“男性远离女性运动”。
“在特朗普政府下，美国政府的官方政策将是只有两种性别:男性和女性。后来，特朗普抨击了“沃克”，称沃克尼丝为“公牛-”。"
移民问题上的强硬言论
在强调关税威胁的同时，特朗普还再次谈到移民，将他们列为暴力罪犯，并声称他将把墨西哥贩毒集团列为恐怖组织，这是他在第一个任期内试图实施的，但在墨西哥总统敦促他不要这样做后停止了。
“所有外国帮派成员都将被驱逐，我将立即宣布这些卡特尔为外国恐怖组织。我们马上就去做。我们将释放联邦执法的全部力量。”
特朗普还发誓说，他的移民政策将包括针对芬太尼流入美国及其破坏性影响的有力运动。
“我们将展示这些药物对你的影响。以前没有人这样做过，我们要去做。”
他说，他第一天的优先事项之一将是“一系列历史性的行政命令，对非法外国人关闭我们的边境，并阻止对我们国家的入侵。”
“在同一天，我们将开始美国历史上最大规模的驱逐行动，甚至比德怀特·艾森豪威尔总统的行动还要大，”他说，称之为“奥罗拉行动”，以他在竞选活动中经常提到的科罗拉多城市命名，他说移民团伙已经占领了公寓楼。
感谢年轻的保守派和Tiktok
在吹捧他的胜利的同时，特朗普还对转折点美国执行董事查理·柯克(Charlie Kirk)表示感谢，他在年轻选民中领导了一些最大的支持特朗普的努力。
“我想对查理·柯克表示深深的感谢。他真的是一个了不起的家伙，了不起的家伙和他的全体工作人员为实现这个非常历史性的胜利所做的不懈努力…这不是我的胜利，这是你的胜利。非常荣幸。”
特朗普继续他的胜利之旅，继续称赞发生在共和党身上的人口结构变化，同时承诺团结全国。他还谈到了他能够通过抖音达到的目标。
“Tiktok，我们得到了巨大的反响，有数十亿次的观看，数十亿次的观看，”他说。“他们给我带来了一张图表，那是一张唱片，看起来太美了。当我看着它的时候，我说，“也许我们应该把这玩意留着一段时间。”"
Trump takes a victory lap with young conservatives
In his first rally-style speech since winning the 2024 election, President-elect Donald Trump raved about his election victory for nearly 10 minutes before transitioning to confidence that he would deliver on his administration's promises, as well as touting his Cabinet selections.
Trump spoke at AmericaFest, a political festival for conservatives put on by Turning Point, the conservative organization run by Charlie Kirk that was instrumental in helping Trump garner support among younger voters through its get out the vote initiatives in battleground states.
Trump's speech was essentially many of the proposals he has already released on his Truth Social social media platform, including his threats on tariffs and taking back the Panama Canal, as well as bragging about the amount of people that have reached out to him since his victory.
He said his remarks were “just a small preview of the common sense revolution.”
“Because that's what I call it, a common sense revolution that's coming soon to America, to a theater near you, right? But it's coming to you through your president, Donald J. Trump,” he said.
Throughout his 75-minute remarks, Trump made no mention of the recently passed government funding bill, which did not include his last-minute demand to raise the debt ceiling or eliminate it. After vocally opposing the original bill, Trump has yet to make any comments on the legislation that passed early Saturday.
However, speakers ahead of Trump had something to say on the issue. Trump's allies called for Speaker Mike Johnson to lose his speakership role over working with Democrats, called for the Republican lawmakers who voted against the package to be primaried, along with threats to Republican senators who were on the fence about confirming some of Trump's Cabinet picks.
"Johnson's not up to the task. He's got to go, right? He's got to go. Should Johnson be speaker of the House?" Steve Bannon, a former Trump adviser who served time in jail for contempt of Congress, asked the crowd, which responded with a resounding "No."
"We don't need partisanship now. We need hyperpartisanship now. The conversation is over. We have nothing else to discuss. It's only about the execution of President Trump's plan," he added.
However, when Trump took the stage, he spent most of his time touting his transition efforts.
"We have accomplished so much in just 47 days since the election. But that's only the beginning of what we will achieve together as the 47th president of the United States of America," Trump said.
Trump said his second administration would "turn the page" on what he called four failed years under the Biden administration.
"I campaigned on an agenda of delivering profound change to Washington, and last month, the American people voted for change like they've never voted before, and in overwhelming numbers, numbers that nobody saw coming. I saw them coming because I think we all saw coming," Trump said.
Debunking an Elon Musk 'hoax'
As tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has become more vocal about the future of the country, including a series of tweets criticizing the government funding bill, many lawmakers and pundits have started quipping that Musk is actually running the country. Trump laughed about the idea on Sunday, calling it the new "hoax" from the media and saying he likes to have smart people around him.
"And no, he's not taking the presidency. I love having smart people…No, no, that's that happening. But Elon's done an amazing job. Isn't it nice to have smart people that we could rely on?" Trump quipped, celebrating Musk's role with the newly created Department of Government Efficiency.
Trump applauded Musk for his campaign contributions in Pennsylvania, helping North Carolinians during hurricane relief by providing Starlink, and his endeavors with SpaceX.
"No he's not going to be president, that I can tell you," Trump repeated. "I'm safe. You know why? He wasn't born in this country. Ha, Ha."
Trump touts his Cabinet picks
Trump spent time praising several of his embattled Cabinet picks, including his defense secretary selection Pete Hegseth, saying he thinks he will do "great" in the role.
"Over the past few weeks, I've nominated an all star Cabinet of some of the most determined and brilliant individuals ever to step forward for public office, and we're getting great reviews I have to say, they're all doing well, but we're getting fantastic reviews on the people that we chose," Trump said.
He again shared misinformation about vaccines being linked to a rise in autism and said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, would be in charge of investigating it.
"Think of this, 25 years ago, autism, one in 10,000 children today is one in 36 children. Is something wrong? I think so," he said. "And Robert and I and all, we're going to figure it out…"
Trump provided a one-sentence remark on Tulsi Gabbard, his choice for director of national intelligence, mentioning her nomination without any additional commentary. He added that he thinks Kash Patel, his selection to lead the FBI, "may be the greatest director of them all."
Meeting with Putin
While Trump was going through his Day 1 priorities, he highlighted Russian President Vladimir Putin's comments in which he said he is ready to speak with the president-elect.
"President Putin said that he wants to meet with me as soon as possible. So we have to wait for this. But we have to end that war. That war is a horrible..." Trump said, appearing to allude to public comments Putin made on Thursday.
Threats on tariffs, the Panama Canal and transgender people
Trump also reiterated his tariff threat against Canada, Mexico, and China if they don't "step up and stop the illegal aliens and illegal drugs from pouring into our country."
"They can't treat us that way. They're not going to be treating us that way for long that, I can tell you, because we're not going to let them turn the United States into a dumping ground."
Trump also doubled down on his threat to take back the Panama Canal, complaining about the fees being charged to the U.S. Navy and American businesses: "This complete ripoff of our country will immediately stop. It's going to stop," he said.
As Trump spent the last couple months of his campaign emphasizing anti-transgender rhetoric, he said he will sign executive orders on Day 1 to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender people out of the military, and keep "men out of women's sports."
"Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female. Later, Trump railed against the "woke," calling wokeness "bull----."
Tough talk on immigration
While emphasizing his tariff threat, Trump also once again talked about migrants by labeling them as violent criminals, going on to assert that he would designate Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations, which he attempted to implement during his first term but halted after Mexico's president at the time urged him not to.
"Every foreign gang member will be expelled, and I will immediately designate the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. We're going to do it immediately. And we'll unleash the full power of federal law enforcement."
Trump also vowed that his immigration policies would include a robust campaign on the flow of fentanyl into America and its devastating effects.
“We're going to show what these drugs are doing to you. Nobody's done that before, and we're going to do it.”
One of his Day 1 priorities, he said, will be a "historic slate of executive orders to close our border to illegal aliens and stop the invasion of our country."
"And on that same day, we will begin the largest deportation operation in American history, larger even than that of President Dwight Eisenhower," he said, calling it "Operation Aurora," after the Colorado city that he referred to often on the campaign trail where he said immigrant gangs had taken over apartment buildings.
Thanking young conservatives and Tiktok
While touting his victory, Trump also expressed gratitude to Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA executive director, who led some of the largest pro-Trump ground efforts among younger voters.
"I want to express my tremendous gratitude to Charlie Kirk. He's really an amazing guy, amazing guy and his whole staff for their relentless efforts to achieve this very historic victory… It's not my victory, it's your victory. It's a great honor."
Trump continued his victory lap, going on to praise the demographic shifts that happened towards Republicans while promising to unite the country. He also went on a tangent about the reach he was able to have through TikTok.
"Tiktok, and we had a great response with billions of views, billions and billions of views," he said. "They brought me a they brought me a chart, and it was a record, and it was so beautiful to see. And as I looked at it, I said, 'Maybe we got to keep this sucker around a little while.'"
