Donald Trump is gearing up for his second term as president, and he’s making sure everyone knows it will be “yuge.”
From ambitious economic reforms to reshaping the housing market, his promises are piling higher than a Manhattan skyscraper. For homebuyers, Trump has vowed to make the dream of home ownership more affordable, though details remain under wraps. On the economy, he claims his administration will lead an “economic rocket ship” that’ll leave global competitors in the dust.
As for border security, Trump’s plans include a renewed focus on public safety and national security, led by his new border czar, Tom Homan. On the world stage, he’s promising “global peace through strength,” which sounds like a blockbuster movie tagline but could be a game-changer.
But Trump being Trump, he didn’t stop there. At Turning Point USA’s America Fest in Phoenix, Arizona, he made one promise that left even his most loyal supporters scratching their heads—and their watches.
From Daily Wire:
President-elect Donald Trump said his second administration will be “fully operational” in roughly two hours…“We are going to be fully operational, I would say, by about two o’clock on the 20th,” Trump said.
Trump is expected to take the oath of office during his inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol at around noon ET on January 20, 2025.
Fully Operational… By 2 PM?
During his rousing speech, Trump confidently predicted his second administration would be “fully operational” by 2 PM on Inauguration Day. “Two hours after I take the oath, folks,” he boasted, “we’re hitting the ground running.”
Supporters cheered, though some likely wondered if they’d accidentally wandered into a Star Wars convention. Fully operational? Like the Death Star? The declaration came as Trump detailed his “day one” promises, which include aggressive action on deportations and what he calls a “dream team Cabinet” ready to lead the charge.
But that wasn’t all. Trump told the roaring crowd that January 20, 2025, would mark the dawn of a “golden age” for America. If his words were gold, the U.S. would already be debt-free.
And let’s not forget his sweeping defeat of Kamala Harris, which he described as the mandate of all mandates. Not one to downplay success, Trump also touted his incoming Senate majority as a key to confirming his Cabinet faster than you can say “MAGA.”
A ‘Golden Age’ or Golden Hour?
Ben Shapiro, the fast-talking Editor Emeritus of The Daily Wire, echoed Trump’s optimism, calling him “the historic force of our age.” Trump, he argued, is ushering in a golden age of reform and renewal.
Of course, Shapiro’s enthusiasm might make even a coffee-fueled cheerleader look reserved. Still, the energy at America Fest was palpable, with dozens of speakers rallying behind the former—and future—president.
Trump’s plans for the border are ambitious, to say the least. Tom Homan made it clear that deportations of public safety threats would begin immediately. “Right out of the gate,” he emphasized, as if they’re firing off sprinters at the Olympics.
Trump’s administration will also reportedly adopt the motto “promises made, promises kept,” which sounds familiar. (Didn’t they use that one last time?)
The Clock Is Ticking
The big reveal, though, is Trump’s promise to be fully operational by 2 PM. It’s bold. It’s brash. It’s peak Trump. But how?
Will he assemble his Cabinet at lightning speed? Will his first executive order be signed over a Big Mac at lunch? The timeline might be tight, but if anyone can bend time to his will, it’s Donald J. Trump. Or so he’d like us to think.
Meanwhile, skeptics are having a field day. “Fully operational in two hours? Even Amazon Prime can’t promise that,” quipped one commentator.
Supporters, however, are thrilled by Trump’s confidence, even if they secretly hope the plan involves coffee—and lots of it.
Key Takeaways:
- Bold Promises: Trump is promising big changes on the economy, border security, and global peace, aiming for a golden age of American greatness.
- Quick Start: He claims his administration will be “fully operational” within two hours of taking the oath. Coffee break optional.
- Confidence Abounds: Love him or hate him, Trump’s swagger remains unmatched. Buckle up, America.
