Trump's political comeback

a difference four years makes George When Donald Trump takes that oath of office this morning it'll be the culmination of the greatest political comeback in American history in fact nothing else is even close over the weekend president-elect Donald Trump returned to Washington feeling Vindicated and triumphant we won we won four years after he left the White House defeated and considered a pariah by many for his refusal to acknowledge that defeat Trump has vanquished his political enemies celebrating his inauguration weekend with a fireworks celebration a visit to Arlington National Cemetery and a big rally with his [Music] supporters even appeared alongside the band The Village People for a performance of their hit YMCA a staple at Trump campaign rallies we not only want a mandate but we built a new American majority that will lead our country to unparalleled success for generations to come Trump's road back to the White House was littered with criminal investigations federal indictments for allegedly mishandling classified documents and trying to overturn the last election and even a 34C count felony conviction in New York a first for an American president Trump still denies all wrongdoing doing calling the probes and prosecutions a Witch Hunt despite it all Trump breezed through a crowded Republican primary and knocked out not one but two Democratic opponents first Joe Biden after a devastating debate and then kamla Harris along the way Trump narrowly escaped an attempt on his life at a rally over the summer in Butler Pennsylvania rising to his feet bloodied and shouting fight fight fight an image that came to Define his campaign another would be assassin just 9 weeks later spotted and stopped by the Secret Service just hundreds of feet from Trump one big question is Donald Trump takes back into the White House is how much time he will devote to settling old scores he promised retribution at times he spoke about going after his enemies but he also said that success would be his retribution this much George is clear Donald Trump comes back to the White House with more experience and more popular support than he has ever had he's also promising pardons for those January 6 those convicted of the crimes on January 6 do we know much more about the scope of the pardons whether it's going to include people who actually attacked police officers well look he's made absolutely no secret of the fact that he's talking about very wide pardons for what he calls the January 6 hostages those who have been convicted for attacking the capital and and are currently in prison uh we don't know if it's going to be all of them but it sure sounds like it is going to be a far-reaching pardon and George uh it is possible uh that he will do it today it is possible that in fact he will do it while he is still on the capital uh signing pardons at the very Place uh that came under attack January 6 four years ago John Carl thanks very much
