特朗普在保守派会议上发表长篇演讲，预告第二任期
【中美创新时报2024 年 12 月 23 日编译讯】（记者温友平编译）当选总统唐纳德·特朗普周日发表了长篇演讲，他称这是他政府将带来的“常识革命的小预览”，承诺关闭国家边境，结束联邦监管，降低税收，起诉他的竞争对手，“停止觉醒”，并“结束跨性别疯狂行为”。《纽约时报》记者迈克尔·D·希尔对此作了下述详细报道。
在凤凰城保守派会议上的 90 分钟演讲中，特朗普对自己的选举胜利发表了胜利的看法，他将他的自由派对手描述为“困惑”，并承诺一个新的“美国黄金时代”已经开始。
“我们将结束占领，1 月 20 日将真正成为美国的解放日，”特朗普在保守派组织 Turning Point USA 举办的为期四天的美国节大会上对数千名民众说道。
他的演讲是常见的虚假断言、自我吹捧、猛烈攻击对手以及承诺他重新掌权后将如何让国家变得更好等混合体。
和往常一样，特朗普将大部分时间花在了移民和边境问题上。他重申了自己的说法，即其他国家正在将“精神病院”和监狱清空到美国，尽管没有证据。他还发誓要清除非法入境者。
“在我上任的第一天，我将签署一系列历史性的行政命令，关闭我们的边境，”他在观众的热烈掌声中说道。“同一天，我们将开始美国历史上最大规模的驱逐行动。”
和特朗普的许多演讲一样，他的演讲没有提到细节。他没有说谁将被驱逐出境，也没有说什么时候。但他承诺将墨西哥贩毒集团定性为恐怖组织，并表示“在美国领土上活动的每一个贩毒集团都将被瓦解、驱逐和摧毁”。
这次演讲对特朗普来说有点像是回到过去，他在 2015 年 7 月开始竞选总统时在凤凰城发表了类似的演讲。第二年，他作为共和党总统候选人出人意料地访问了墨西哥，再次回到同一地点发表了一次重要的移民演讲。
然而，现在他的一些话题已经改变了。
这位当选总统反复抨击变性人，令观众欣喜若狂，他们欢呼雀跃。
特朗普一挥笔就说，“我们将结束变性人的疯狂行为”和对儿童的残害，这显然是指性别确认手术。
“我们将禁止男性参与女子运动，”他说。他补充说，“美国的政策是，性别只有两种：男性和女性。”
他还针对公共机构和私营公司的多元化、公平和包容性计划。他承诺禁止此类计划，因为“我们相信美国的功绩制度”。
“我们将停止觉醒，”他发誓，用粗俗的言辞来指代此类举措。
这句话获得了当天上午保守派听众最热烈的掌声，他们中的大多数人都戴着“让美国再次伟大”的帽子和其他特朗普品牌的装备。
这位当选总统还承诺，不会允许军方更改以邦联领导人命名的基地或船只的名称，就像近年来所做的那样。
“我不会这样做，”特朗普说。
他还对巴拿马运河表示担忧，称美国在 1970 年代同意在联合控制一段时间后将运河归还给巴拿马控制是“愚蠢的”。他指责巴拿马向美国航运商收取的费用“荒谬”且“极不公平”，并发誓在他的政府领导下，这些费用将终止。
“这种对我们国家的彻底欺骗将立即停止，”他说。“它会停止的。”他威胁说，如果不这样做，“我们将要求巴拿马运河归还给美国。”
他没有说明将如何实现这一点，因为运河是通过两国签署的条约归还给巴拿马控制的。但他的言论是在他周六晚间在社交媒体上发布类似投诉几个小时后发表的。
特朗普还大肆赞扬了亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克，他已选择马斯克来管理新成立的政府效率部。
马斯克上周展示了他的政治实力，以反对一项两党支出协议，他在自己的社交媒体网络 X 上发布了 150 多次批评该协议的帖子。
这促使一些人（包括至少一名国会议员）将马斯克称为“马斯克总统”，但周日，特朗普对这个头衔轻笑不已。
“不，这不会发生，”他说，并补充说身边有聪明的人是件好事。“但不，他不会成为总统；我可以告诉你。我很安全。你知道为什么吗？他不可能。他不是在这个国家出生的。”
这位当选总统的演讲并不是他第一次在 Turning Point 发表演讲，该组织由查理·柯克 (Charlie Kirk) 管理，他是特朗普的长期活动家和支持者。 2019 年，特朗普在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩向该组织发表了一次长篇演讲，就在他第一次被国会弹劾几天后。

Trump previews second term in sprawling speech to conservative conference

PHOENIX — President-elect Donald Trump delivered a sprawling address on Sunday that he called a “small preview of the common-sense revolution” his administration will bring, pledging to slam shut the nation’s borders, end federal regulations, lower taxes, prosecute his rivals, “stop woke,” and “end the transgender lunacy.”
In a 90-minute speech at a conservative conference in Phoenix, Trump offered a triumphant view of his election victory in which he described his liberal adversaries as “befuddled” and promised that a new “golden age in America” had begun.
“We will end the occupation, and Jan. 20 will truly be liberation day in America,” Trump told thousands of people at AmericaFest, a four-day conference run by the conservative group Turning Point USA.
His speech was a familiar mash-up of false assertions, self-praise, fierce attacks on his adversaries, and promises about how his return to power would change the country for the better.
As he often does, Trump spent the most time on immigration and the border. He repeated his claim, without evidence, that other countries were emptying their “insane asylums” and prisons into the United States. And he vowed to purge the country of people who have entered illegally.
“On my first day, I will sign a historic slate of executive orders to close our border,” he said to huge applause from the audience. “On that same day, we will begin the largest deportation operation in American history.”
As with many of Trump’s speeches, it was light on details. He did not say who would be deported or when. But he promised to designate Mexican drug cartels as terror organizations and said that every cartel “operating on American soil will be dismantled, deported, and destroyed.”
The address was something of a return to the past for Trump, who delivered a similar speech in Phoenix in July 2015 at the beginning of his quest for the White House. He returned to the same location the next year for a major immigration speech after making a surprise visit to Mexico as the Republican nominee for the presidency.
Now, however, some of his topics have changed.
The president-elect lashed out repeatedly at transgender people to the delight of the audience, which roared with approval.
Trump said that with a stroke of his pen, “we are going to end the transgender lunacy” and the mutilation of children, an apparent reference to gender-affirming surgery.
“We will keep men out of women’s sports,” he said. He added that “it will be the policy of the United States that there are only two genders: men and women.”
He also targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at public institutions and private companies. He promised to ban such programs because “we believe in the merit system” in the United States.
“We’re going to stop woke,” he vowed, referring to such initiatives with a profanity.
That line received the biggest applause of the morning from the conservative audience, most of whom were wearing Make America Great Again hats and other Trump-branded gear.
The president-elect also promised not to allow the military to change the names of bases or ships that are named after Confederate leaders, as it has done in recent years.
“It’s not happening with me,” Trump said.
He also expressed concern about the Panama Canal, calling it “stupid” that the United States agreed in the 1970s to return the canal to Panamanian control after a period of joint control. He accused Panama of charging fees to US shippers that were “ridiculous” and “highly unfair” and vowed that they would end under his administration.
“This complete rip-off of our country will immediately stop,” he said. “It’s going to stop.” And he threatened that if it did not, “we will demand that the Panama Canal will be returned to the United States.”
He did not say how that would happen, given that the canal was returned to Panamanian control through a treaty signed by both countries. But his comments came just hours after he posted a similar complaint on social media late Saturday night.
Trump also sang the praises of Elon Musk, the billionaire whom he has picked to run a new Department of Government Efficiency.
Musk flexed his political strength last week to tank a bipartisan spending agreement, posting more than 150 times to criticize the deal on X, his social media network.
That prompted some people, including at least one member of Congress, to refer to Musk as “President Musk,” but on Sunday, Trump chuckled about the title.
“No, that’s not happening,” he said, adding that it was nice to have smart people around him. “But no, he’s not going to be president; that I can tell you. I’m safe. You know why? He can’t be. He wasn’t born in this country.”
The president-elect’s speech was not his first to Turning Point, which is run by Charlie Kirk, a longtime activist and supporter of Trump’s. In 2019, Trump gave a lengthy speech to the group in West Palm Beach, Fla., just days after he was impeached by Congress the first time.
