At his campaign rally in West Palm Beach, the Republican leader spoke to fans after winning Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state. He praised his followers for re-electing him as the 45th and now 47th president, and amid applause, he called his campaign the “greatest” political movement.
Trump, accompanied by Melania Trump, JD Vance, and his campaign staff, said he was excited to “make America great again.” To a cheer of applause, he declared, “We have regained control of the Senate.” “Wow, that’s good,” he added. As Trump referred to the election as a “political victory,” the crowd reacted with cries of “USA, USA, USA.”
“This is a magnificent victory for the American people, that will allow us to make America great again,” Trump said, predicting what he called a “golden age” for the country. In addition to promising high taxes on foreign countries and a massive deportation program, Trump, who won in 2016 but lost to Biden in 2020, centred his campaign on a pledge to replace many federal employees with supporters of his MAGA movement.
Both candidates increased their attention on Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, as the election came to a close, highlighting its significance in the last-ditch effort to win. In light of his 2020 loss, Trump had earlier contested the outcome of that election, which resulted in the events of January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol
However, since Trump announced his victory, there has been a common sentiment on the internet. Although many Americans are pleased with their choice, it seems that people elsewhere do not share this opinion. The rest of the world is watching the US with shock, wondering how they made this choice, and feeling a little ashamed for them. “Other nations witness Americans’ struggle to decide between a capable woman and a convicted felon,” writes one writer. “Waking up on a different continent and realising that Americans actually voted for Donald Trump to be president AGAIN!!!” adds a second. Like, are you people really against a female president?
“America, congratulations. A third says, “Now the rest of the world has to laugh at you for another four years.” An additional commenter asks, “What is wrong with America?” “I don’t want to hear anyone complain about anything for the next four years,” says a fifth. You are going to receive what is rightfully yours. “He may be the worst presidential candidate in the history of the United States, and it speaks volumes about the American people that he received as many votes as he did,” writes a sixth.
Another British citizen asks, “How are Americans choosing between a well-educated woman and a convicted felon who is going to ruin everyone’s lives?”
“Non-Americans are watching the US struggle to choose between electing a professional career politician or a racist serial s*x offender with 34 felony charges and the IQ of a spoon,” writes a different social media user in closing.
