Despite surviving two deadly attacks during his presidential campaign last year, Trump (78) remained strong in the field and now American voters have given him a second term. She also shattered the dreams of many supporters of the Democratic Party and its candidate Kamala Harris, who were dreaming of a woman becoming President for the first time.
Trump is the oldest person to be elected President in American history
He is now the oldest person to be elected President in American history. From leaving office after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election to his nomination as the Republican Party candidate in the 2024 race, Trump continues to dominate newspaper headlines and the minds of Americans.
He refused to accept the results of the November 2020 election when Joe Biden was elected president. After this, Trump’s supporters attacked the “Capital” (Parliament House) on January 6. The riots disrupted the joint session of the US Congress, where the process of confirming the results of the presidential election was underway.
He was facing multiple indictments and criminal cases as he seeks to run for president for the third time in 2024 and a New York court found him guilty. In this way, he is the first former US President to be convicted of any crime.
The ‘grand jury’ also found him guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. At that time, the Biden-Harris campaign team had said that no person is above the law, while Trump called this decision the result of “rigging” in the political system.
Just days before his inauguration, Trump was found guilty of paying to keep quiet, and Judge Juan Marchant acquitted him unconditionally.
Throughout it all, his passionate supporters have remained united behind him and his policies, including on issues related to the economy and immigration.
This strong support for Trump was on full display in July in Milwaukee, when Trump, with his ears bandaged after surviving an assassination attempt, was running for the party’s presidential nomination for his third consecutive election. Arrived at the Republican National Convention to formally accept the Constitution. He was shot in the upper part of his right ear after an attacker fired several bullets at Trump’s election rally in Pennsylvania.
