Donald Trump’s remarkable comeback: Preparing for a political triumph

KATHMANDU: Donald Trump has been elected President of the United States once again, securing a return to the White House after an unexpected defeat of Hillary Clinton, marking a dramatic political revival.

This victory comes eight years after Trump’s previous win and four years after President Joe Biden displaced him from office.

Trump, whose image had suffered greatly following the violent Jan 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, left the presidency amid considerable controversy.

However, his remarkable comeback in the 2024 election has restored him to the highest office in the land.

In the wake of the Capitol attack, which led to widespread condemnation from both Democrats and even some Republicans, Trump embarked on a four-year political journey that ultimately led him back to the presidency.

Despite his sometimes erratic speeches during rallies, where his focus often seemed scattered, Trump surrounded himself with competent, professional advisers, which helped him recover his political standing.

Polling data revealed that Trump had gained the trust of many American voters on two key issues: immigration and the economy.

These topics became central themes of his campaign, with Trump consistently pushing these concerns to the forefront.

As the election campaign heated up, there was initial uncertainty when Kamala Harris, rather than Joe Biden, took the field for the Democrats.

However, Trump quickly regained momentum, buoyed by a growing anti-incumbent sentiment and his criticism of the current administration.

Looking ahead, Trump now has four more years to govern, and his political organization appears more refined and ready to implement his campaign promises, including his signature policies on immigration and economic reform.

With a well-oiled campaign apparatus behind him, Trump’s return to power seems poised to reshape the direction of U.S. politics once again.
