With America gearing up for the return of Donald J. Trump to the White House, the President-elect has announced a “Make America Great Again Victory Rally” on January 19, the day before his inauguration. Set to be held at Washington, D.C.’s Capital One Arena, this rally will host 20,000 supporters eager to celebrate Trump’s historic second-term victory. The event, billed as “a rally you’ll never forget,” is already drawing criticism from Democrats, who seem more worried about their Twitter timelines than celebrating democracy.
The timing couldn’t be more significant. Coming on the heels of terror incidents in New Orleans and Las Vegas, the rally showcases Trump’s defiance against fear and his unapologetic commitment to the American people. Critics, of course, are tripping over themselves to sound the alarm about security risks. Jeh Johnson, former Department of Homeland Security head under Obama, warned on MSNBC that “short notice for a rally of this scale presents a security challenge.” Translation: Democrats are still struggling to comprehend how Trump continues to thrive despite their perpetual outrage machine.
This will be Trump’s first rally in D.C. since January 6, 2021, and his first public appearance since his election victory. Predictably, the left is doing what they do best—focusing on their feelings rather than the facts. Trump supporters will gather in celebration of a hard-fought win while Democrats wallow in their refusal to acknowledge his resounding mandate.
The rally kicks off at 3 p.m., with doors opening at 11 a.m. Free tickets are available for those ready to join the MAGA movement in full force. Meanwhile, over a dozen House Democrats have announced their plans to skip Trump’s inauguration altogether. Considering their lack of productivity over the last two years, their absence might actually improve the proceedings.
Adding to the theatrics, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will attend the inauguration, while China’s Xi Jinping declined his invitation. Unsurprisingly, Biden has ordered flags to fly at half-staff for Jimmy Carter—a move that, while respectful, feels conveniently timed to overshadow Trump’s momentous day.
Trump enters his second term with a 51% approval rating for his transition efforts, a notable improvement over his 2016 numbers. While Democrats nitpick Gallup’s comparison to previous presidents, Trump’s rise in approval reflects the undeniable truth: Americans are tired of the left’s relentless fearmongering and are ready for real leadership.
As Ohio Senator J.D. Vance prepares to be sworn in as vice president, and Trump takes the helm as the 47th president, this victory rally marks the beginning of a new era. Democrats may fume and fret, but the MAGA movement is stronger than ever. This rally is not just a celebration of Trump’s victory—it’s a message to every globalist, bureaucrat, and left-wing naysayer: the American people are back in charge.
