The people granted a reprieve to legally embattled former President Donald J. Trump, 78, in a free and fair democratic election.
President-elect Trump ran the gauntlet of the American judicial system, survived two assassination attempts, and won the shortest general presidential election in history, 107 days, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, 60, last minute replacement for President Joe Biden, 81. Trump, the first felon and the oldest American President ever elected will begin his public service during the peaceful transfer of power during Inauguration day, January 20th.
Trump will take the presidential oath to the constitution ending with these words, ‘I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ Whether he likes it or not. A tradition that former President Trump skipped during President Biden’s inauguration in 2020.
