“We’re not going to take it any more,” he droned, sounding like a tranquillized Howard Beale. “We’re going to unlock the liquid gold that’s under our feet, that’s right, liquid gold. We’re going to restore law and order to our streets. We’re going to restore patriotism to our schools, get radical left woke ideologies the hell out of our military, out of our government. And we are going to make America great again.”
Like the campaign speeches that reliably sent even his fans streaming towards the exits with boredom, his vacuous riffing made for unrewarding listening. Even worse, Trump foolishly invited Elon Musk on to the stage, crediting him for his victory in Pennsylvania. An ever-looser cannon who’s still entrusted with Pentagon contracts while running a social media safehouse for Nazis and porn bots, Musk seemed unusually rattled and jittery; with no text loaded in the autocue, he stammered through his improvised remarks before fleeing the stage.

Megyn Kelly, who having once helped blow the whistle on sexual harassment at Fox News is now more or less limited to hosting a caustic pro-Trump podcast, delivered borderline racist impressions of Oprah Winfrey and Kamala Harris (“my favourite one was the preacher accent!”) before celebrating how ordinary Trump supporters donned their Maga hats to protest against being “forced” to acknowledge that racism exists.
Ah yes, God. He featured prominently, and not just in his perennial role of blessing America. One religious speaker at the rally’s opening thanked him for using Trump as a “vessel”; another prayed that he would rain down fire to purify the country. Trump himself has notoriously never publicly displayed any sign of deep engagement with Christian scripture or theology, but the Christian radicalism in his inner circle is too prominent and too extreme to ignore.
“When the Founders spoke of ‘pursuit of Happiness’, what they meant might be understood today as in essence ‘pursuit of Blessedness’. That is, an individual must be free to live as his Creator ordained – to flourish. Our Constitution grants each of us the liberty to do not what we want, but what we ought.”
That last theme, in all its dimensions, may well come to define Trump’s first weeks in office. Miller, who declared at Trump’s terrifying Madison Square Garden rally a week before the November election that “America is for Americans and Americans only”, said last night the Trump team have drafted an executive order that will serve “justice for every precious soul stolen from us by Joe Biden’s open border”.
“By the time the sun sets tomorrow,” Trump said, “the illegal invasion of our borders will have come to a halt and all the illegal border trespassers will in some form or another be on their way back home.”

The entire continental US? He did not say, instead lurching back to DEI (“critical race theory and transgender insanity”) and playing a compilation video lamenting how the army has become too gay, as opposed to proudly indoctrinating soldiers to revel in extrajudicial murder.
The overall message: Swagger and gleeful cruelty have won. The era of diversity and sunny tolerance is over. Oil is the future. None of Trump’s enemies will be spared. The YMCA is not a gay anthem. And the convicted rioters who attacked Congress on 6 January, 2021, brutalising police and chasing elected officials into panic rooms, are now “the J6 hostages”.
The details, as it always goes with Trump, have yet to be hammered out. But the new Maga era – “the four greatest years in American history,” Trump said – has begun.
