Donald Trump is hours away from becoming President of the United States for a second time, and he has promised to 'make heads spin' right from the start
With Donald Trump just hours away from becoming US President again, America is preparing for a political hurricane that could shake the very foundations of its democracy.
His outlandish claims already consist of declaring he would "act like a dictator for a day" and end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. The first day is expected to bring a wave of sackings across federal agencies, targeting individuals Trump believes undermined his previous rule. One strategist warned: "Trump's retribution tour is going to start on Day One. Biden may see this as a necessary move to preserve the democratic process." Amid the chaos, the world waits with bated breath to see if Trump's bold claim he can stop the Ukraine war in a day is just another of his fanciful lies. He said he would use his "great relationship" with Vladimir Putin to broker a peace deal.
One economist said: "Higher tariffs mean higher prices for everyone." One of the President-elect's major obsessions is immigration, which he has promised to address on day one. He vowed to close the US southern border, reinstate his controversial travel bans, and suspend refugee admissions into the country.
