 Well, he did say he was going to fire Gary Gensler on his first day in office, to a rapturous cheer! So he repeated it and got an even bigger one!

When he said he'd bring an end to Chokepoint 2.0 the crowd cheered again, and in the clip I viewed, the camera cut and we saw Caitlyn Long arm waving support for that in another huge cheer.
