President-elect Donald Trump is planning to return to the Oval Office in 18 days, as indicated by a photo he shared with adviser Dan Scavino. He has booked a rally in Washington, DC on Jan. 19 to garner support for his upcoming administration’s goals, including securing the border, reducing crime, and combating terrorism. Trump has made statements linking a rise in crime to illegal migrant crossings into the US, following a terror attack in New Orleans and a car explosion in Las Vegas, though the incidents have not been officially tied to illegal migrants.
One of the attacks involved a US army veteran driving through bystanders in New Orleans, killing 14 people. The attacker, identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, had posted videos prior to the incident claiming ties to ISIS. On the other hand, in Las Vegas, a Cybertruck driver parked in front of Trump International Hotel before the vehicle exploded, killing the driver. Both vehicles used in the attacks were rented via the app Turo. Trump expressed condolences for the victims of the New Orleans attack and pledged support for the city in its investigation into the incident.
Trump criticized the Biden administration for its open-border policy, linking it to a rise in radical Islamic terrorism and violent crime in America. He claimed that the current situation was even worse than he had predicted during his rallies, calling Biden the worst president in American history and labeling his administration as a disaster. Trump expressed concern over the impact of the Biden administration’s policies on the country and emphasized the need to address the issues of crime and terrorism.
The FBI is investigating both attacks as potential acts of terror, although there is no conclusive evidence linking them to any specific group or motive. The incidents have reignited discussions around national security and border control measures, with Trump’s supporters rallying behind his promises to address these issues. The upcoming rally in Washington, DC is expected to serve as a platform for Trump to outline his agenda and rally support for his administration’s policies.
As Trump prepares to assume the presidency for the second time, he is facing ongoing challenges related to national security and public safety. The recent terror attacks underscore the importance of addressing these issues and implementing effective measures to protect the country. Trump’s strong stance on crime, border security, and terrorism has been a central theme of his political platform, and his supporters are eager to see these promises translated into action once he returns to office. The upcoming inauguration and rally will mark a new chapter in Trump’s presidency, with a focus on addressing the pressing issues that continue to impact the nation.
