Trump Inaugurated for Second Term: The Comeback No One Expected
He'd be 78 years old. A second non-consecutive term after losing in 2020, defying every political norm and polling prediction. And yet, here he was: the first president impeached twice, facing multiple criminal investigations, walking back onto the same stage he'd been dramatically removed from four years earlier. Trump's return wasn't just a political comeback—it was a middle finger to every institution that tried to stop him. The crowd roared. Washington held its breath.
