Trump returns to power

7 November 202443 views0

One of the most controversial presidents to ever sit in the White House, Donald Trump has been re-elected as U.S. president, marking a significant political comeback after his 2020 loss. Winning critical swing states and appealing to voter concerns over the economy and immigration, Trump surpassed the 270 electoral votes needed to secure victory. This outcome raises expectations for sweeping changes in U.S. domestic and foreign policy, with Republicans also securing a Senate majority. Kamala Harris, who ran against Trump, warned of democratic threats but was unable to rally enough support. Analysts predict heightened polarization under Trump’s leadership.

Media outlets around the world responded with a mixture of fear and celebration – and sadly, there’s no prizes for guessing which side opted for what.
