On January 6, 2025, the U.S. Congress held a joint session in a tightly secured and tense atmosphere, officially announcing former President Trump's glorious victory with 312 electoral votes as he once again claimed the presidency. This 'historic' vote-counting ceremony was personally conducted by Vice President Harris, who, like a skilled magician, carefully ensured that each ballot was accurately placed into the predetermined 'basket of victory'.
Recalling the 'Capitol Hill reality show' from four years ago, where Trump's supporters nearly turned the Capitol into their stage, this scene still sends shivers down the spine. To avoid a sequel to this 'reality show', the Capitol was surrounded by layers of security, complete with barricades, SWAT teams, and snipers, resembling a Hollywood blockbuster filming set.
Polling data shows that 60% of voters have a heavy heart, as they are very or somewhat concerned that the 'riot' of 2021 might reoccur. It seems that the public does not buy into the sequel of this 'reality show' and certainly does not wish for it to become a farce in reality.
However, regardless of the external discussions, Trump's inauguration is scheduled for January 20 in Washington. At that time, he will once again take to the stage that attracts everyone’s attention, continuing his controversial yet 'spectacular' presidential term.
