President-elect Donald Trump has revealed he’s planning to hold a victory rally in our nation’s capital on Jan. 19, which is one day before he will be sworn into office for the second time. I believe this is what all the kids today call a flex. It gives me vibes of the ancient Roman triumphs, or victory parades, which featured a massive celebration of the victorious Roman general in the empire’s capital city.
I’m sure my comparison of Trump to a conquering Roman general is going to make liberals scream and cry all across the country, which makes me all the more determined to continue to use that in future writings. Some might say delighting in the defeat of our enemies is just plain mean. I don’t care what you call it. It’s fun as hell and that’s all I’ve got to say about it.

Trump’s inauguration committee announced on Wednesday that the “Make America Great Again Victory Rally” will be held at Capital One Arena, which can seat around 20,000 people, beginning at 3:00 p.m. ET, CBS News reported. The incoming president is slated to speak at the event along with a list of other speakers who have not been revealed, according to The Hill. Trump hasn’t held a rally in D.C. since January 6, 2021, when he delivered a speech on the Ellipse before hundreds of people stormed the Capitol Building.
The president-elect met with Washington, D.C., Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser earlier this week, and Bowser said the discussions were “great,” adding, “President Trump and I both want Washington, DC to be the best, most beautiful city in the world and we want the capital city to reflect the strength of our nation.” The D.C. pre-inauguration rally will mark Trump’s second major speech after he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. The president-elect also spoke at Turning Point USA’s America Fest on December 22.
“For those of us standing before you today, I can proudly proclaim that the Golden Age of America is upon us,” Trump commented while delivering his AmericaFest speech. The president-elect also vowed that his administration would be “fully operational” within two hours after he is sworn in on January 20. For Trump to fulfill that promise, he’ll need the help of his cabinet nominees who face Senate confirmation hearings in the next few weeks.
Earlier in the week, the President-elect said he believes that Senate Democrats are going to try and “improperly” delay the confirmation process coming up next week. Many of the individuals he’s chosen to be part of his cabinet have already been heavily scrutinized, much more so than any of President Joe Biden’s picks were during his administration. We’ve already had one nominee, former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, withdraw his name for consideration for the position of attorney general after receiving serious backlash.
Many others face an uphill battle in their confirmation process.
Hopefully, we don’t waste too much time and the cabinet members are confirmed and we can get started on fixing this country.
