At the recent “America Fest” held in Phoenix, Arizona, President-elect Donald Trump stirred up a crowd more energized than a fridge full of Red Bull. Speaking to a gathering organized by the dynamic Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, Trump laid out his bold plans for his upcoming presidency, which, according to him, will officially begin with a flourish of executive orders on his very first day back in the Oval Office.
Leading the charge of his agenda is a promise of mass deportations that could surpass even Dwight D. Eisenhower’s famed Operation Wetback. Trump is set to initiate a monumental effort to close the border to illegal immigration and put an end to what he described as an invasion. While some might suggest that this could ruffle a few feathers among open-border advocates, Trump seems more than ready to push back against the tide of political correctness that clouds the immigration debate.

In a twist that seems straight out of a political comedy, Trump also took a moment to touch on the all-too-relevant topic of TikTok. While the app has come under scrutiny for its ties to the Chinese Communist Party and an impending ban, Trump has decided to give it a second thought. He reminisced about the success of his previous TikTok campaigns, crowing about how his content garnered billions of views. It’s almost heartwarming to see a former president nostalgic about a social media platform often perceived as a playground for teenagers, but that’s Trump for you, always looking to seize the moment—literally.
But what really raised eyebrows was Trump’s commentary on the Panama Canal. It’s not every day a former president suggests reclaiming territory with a wink and a nudge, but here we are. He argued that while the canal was graciously handed over to Panama, it comes with a fair treatment clause that Panama hasn’t been following. Trump made it clear that if these guidelines aren’t honored, the U.S. could demand the return of the canal “quickly and without question.” Wouldn’t it be interesting to see the look on the Panamanian President’s face when that request lands on his desk?
In Trump’s world, the boundary between humor and policy often blurs, leaving traditional political decorum in a cloud of dust. With an agenda that tackles everything from immigration enforcement to popped-up TikTok dances, it’s clear that he is not only ready to govern but also keen on keeping the American people entertained. All that’s left now is to see how the mainstream media twists his plans as they scramble to find something “concerning” about a former president actually wanting to protect American sovereignty. As always, Trump delivers, leaving supporters waiting enthusiastically for what’s next on his action-packed agenda.
