White House chief correspondent Caitlan Collins said, “I'm going to treat everything he said there very seriously. I mean, right after he said he wanted to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. , Marjorie Taylor Gris But what I want to say is that what struck me the most was that press conference, even before President Trump started asking questions. One thing that remains is the level of anger.”
“It's remarkable,” King said. “With two weeks left until he takes office as president of the United States, whether you voted for him or not, whether you like him or not, he has made an incredible political comeback that will go down in history. The person who just orchestrated it was whining too much and being very rude. Well, that's been Donald Trump's trademark since he came down the escalator. He used that discontent to unite people, unite the base, It kept the team loyal.”
He added: “He won the popular vote. He should be celebrating. He should come to Washington, yes, he has very slim majorities in the House and Senate, to get things done. It's going to be difficult, but this guy should be optimistic and willing to come. But he's still full of energy because that's his organizing principle.
