Speaking at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Arizona, Donald Trump said he ‘can proudly proclaim that the Golden Age of America is upon us’.

Donald Trump has suggested his new administration could try to regain control of the Panama Canal that the US “foolishly” ceded to its Central American ally, contending that shippers are charged “ridiculous” fees to pass through the vital transportation channel linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

His appearance capped a four-day pep rally that drew more than 20,000 activists and projected an image of Republican cohesion despite the past week’s turbulence in Washington with Mr Trump pulling strings from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida as Congress worked to avoid a government shutdown heading into the Christmas holiday.

Then he suggested Democrats have “lost their confidence” and are “befuddled” after the election but eventually will “come over to our side because we want to have them”.“We’re being ripped off at the Panama Canal,” he said, bemoaning that his country “foolishly gave it away”. With weather returning to normal in the later months of this year, transit on the canal has normalised.Mr Mulino has been described as a conservative populist who aligns with Mr Trump on many issues.

Mr Kirk’s organisation hired thousands of field organisers across presidential battlegrounds, helping Mr Trump make key gains among infrequent voters and other groups of people that have trended more Democratic in recent decades, including younger voters, black men and Latino men.“It’s not my victory, it’s your victory.”
