Trump Delivers First Speech Since Election Victory

Donald Trump delivered his first rally-style speech since his election victory at the Turning Point AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, where he addressed various issues, including the alarming rise in childhood autism diagnoses, nominating Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate the causes. Trump noted that autism rates have escalated from one in 10,000 children 25 years ago to one in 36 today, expressing concern over the increase in childhood cancer and chronic diseases as well. He also hinted at reevaluating laws regarding TikTok's operation in the U.S. and promised to deliver the largest tax cuts in history during his second term. The event featured other Republican figures, such as Rob Schneider and Ted Cruz, and drew significant crowds of supporters. Trump's remarks followed his controversial statements about the Panama Canal, threatening to demand its return from Panama over high fees for American vessels. This rally marks a significant moment as Trump prepares for his inauguration on January 20, 2025.
