BULLHEAD CITY, Ariz. — Arizona got a first. On Wednesday the new Air Force One, in its red, white, and blue livery, swept low over Laughlin Bullhead International Airport for its inaugural airport rally, circled the field, and touched down in front of a crowd that had waited for hours in the desert sun. Rapid Response 47 caught every second of the descent.
Then the door opened. President Donald J. Trump stepped out in his red USA cap, waved to the crowd, and pumped his fist on the way down the stairs as God Bless the U.S.A. rolled across the tarmac. Phones went up, flags waved, and the President walked the line toward the stage like a man who knows exactly where the country is headed.
He brought a record with him. The White House says Arizona arrived at this rally with real America First results: about 1.3 million Arizona seniors benefiting from the new senior deduction, average refunds of $3,659 in 2026, $167 million in first-year rural health funding, and 119,000 Arizona jobs safeguarded by the Working Families Tax Cuts. TSMC is expanding in Phoenix with a $200 billion investment, Amkor is building a $2 billion plant in Peoria, and violent crime fell 13% statewide last year.
Arizona’s reddest county turned out for the midterm blitz three weeks before Election Day, and the next stop on the Western swing is Montana. The message from Bullhead City was simple: the plane is new, the results are real, and the Golden Age is just getting started. Watch Rapid Response 47’s video of the President’s electric entrance.
