It was a new virus, and it made a lot of people sick. Many people lost their jobs and had to stay home. The pandemic changed how people lived and how they thought about the world.
It also changed the election. People could not have big rallies, and they had to wear masks and stay apart. The economy was not doing well because of the virus, and many people were worried.

The courts said that the election was fair, but many people still believed that the election was not fair and that Joe Biden should not be the president. On the 6th of January, 2021, there was a big event in Washington, D. C.
Donald Trump had a rally and spoke to his supporters. He told them to go to the Capitol building, where the politicians were counting the votes. Many of his supporters went to the Capitol; they were very angry, and they went inside the building.

The election and its aftermath had a big impact on how the country moved forward. Chapter N: Back to the White House After Donald Trump left the White House in 2021, he didn't stop being involved in politics. He talked a lot about the 2020 election, saying it wasn't fair.
He also helped other Republicans who wanted to be politicians. In 2022, he announced that he would run for president again in 2024. Many people were surprised, but he was serious.
During his campaign, Trump had some problems; someone tried to kill him twice—once in July 2024 at a meeting in Pennsylvania and again in September at his golf club in Florida. The 2024 campaign was long and difficult. Trump talked about changing; he wanted to change how America traded with other countries.
He said he would make America strong again. Many people supported him; he won many votes in the Republican primaries. This made him the Republican candidate for president.
His vice president was J. D. Vance.
The other main candidate was Kamala Harris from the Democratic Party. Joe Biden was going to run again, but he decided not to; he thought Kamala Harris would be a better choice. The election was on the 5th of November, 2024.
It was very close, but Donald Trump won; he got 312 votes in the Electoral College, and Kamala Harris got 226. Many people were surprised; Trump got more than 77 million votes in total. He became the second president to have two terms that were not one after the other, like Grover Cleveland.
On the 20th of January, 2025, Donald Trump became president again. It was a big day; many people watched his inauguration. He gave a speech about his plans for the next four years.
He said he wanted to make big changes. He quickly started making new rules called executive orders; these rules don't need approval from Congress. He changed many things.
One of the first things Trump did was stop a law that would ban TikTok, a popular video app. TikTok had been shut down for 14 hours because its Chinese company had to sell it or be banned in the U. S.
Trump delayed the. . .
"Ban for 75 days," he said. This would give him time to make a deal to keep TikTok running while also protecting national security. He also said that companies like Apple and Google wouldn't get in trouble if they kept supporting TikTok.
This made TikTok work again in the U. S. This was surprising because Trump had tried to ban TikTok before, but during his 2024 campaign, he changed his mind, joined TikTok, and said it helped him get support from young voters.
TikTok's CEO thanked Trump and said that he was a leader who truly understands the app. Trump said, "TikTok is back. " He said it was a win for free speech.
He also changed rules about the environment; he stopped some things that were trying to help with climate change. He said he wanted to use more oil and gas. This worried many people about the planet.
On his first day, he stopped the U. S. from being part of the Paris Climate Agreement, a plan to fight climate change.
Other countries had different opinions about Trump being president again. Some leaders were happy and wanted to work with him; some European leaders were worried when he said he would leave the Paris Climate Agreement and the World Health Organization. Some leaders hoped Trump would change his mind.
Trump also started putting tariffs on goods from other countries, like China. Putting tariffs means things from those countries would cost more. He said this would help American companies.
Many people in America were either very happy or very upset about Trump being president again. Some people thought he would make the country better; other people were sad and worried about what would happen. It is a time of big changes in the country and around the world.

He changed some things in America. His time as president made people think about politics in new ways. He made many people interested in politics.
Some people think he was a good leader; other people think he was not a good leader. It is difficult to say for sure what his legacy will be. It's hard to know exactly how people will think about him in the future.
Some people think his business life helped him become president; they think he knew how to make deals. Others say his time on television made him popular. He is still someone people talk about even after being president.
He has a lot of influence. He still makes people talk and think about him. We do not know what he will do next, but his life shows a big story of business, television, and politics.
Many people will continue to think and talk about his life for a long time. His story is a big part of the recent history of the United States.
