Wednesday, November 5th, Donald J. Trump made a comeback and became the 47th President of the United States. Trump has once again secured his presidency, becoming one of the few U.S. presidents in history to serve non-consecutive terms, joining Grover Cleveland. 

After taking a break from the Oval Office in 2021 after a problematic election, President Donald Trump made his return to politics. His comeback was marked as one of the most anticipated returns in history. During his journey back, the country noticed his influence on the Republican Party, what is to come, social media and new leadership teams. 

“Mr. Trump’s victory caps the astonishing political comeback of a man who was charged with plotting to overturn the last election but who tapped into frustrations and fears about the economy and illegal immigration to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris,” New York Times said. 

Donald Trump’s comeback did not happen overnight. After leaving the White House, he spent a lot of time out of the public eye, mainly in Florida. During that time, he made strategic decisions to maintain relevance. He held rallies, endorsed candidates in key congressional races and really narrowed down on concerns about issues like inflation, immigration, energy, foreign policy, and economic issues. 

President Trump’s social media approach as the 47th president is very different from his first term. Although he now has access to major platforms again, he continues to favor his own social media platform, Truth Social, as his main source of communicating with his supporters. 

One of Trump’s biggest goals was that he wanted to reshape the Republican Party itself, which truly helped him bring back popularity. Trump has continued to push his “America First” platform, introducing new policies and revamping familiar ones such as, economy and trade, border security, and immigration. 

The new Trump administration team has a mix of familiar faces and fresh new faces that share the same vision and beliefs as President Trump. Supporters of Trump in the past have returned, while fresh voices bring new expertise in areas such as technology, energy, and military strategy. 

Donald Trump’s return to the White House as the 47th president is a historical and political milestone. Trump overcame challenges from the past to return as the brand new president of the United States of America.
