President-elect Donald Trump shared late-night victory posts on Truth Social on Thursday — his first posts since winning the 2024 election days earlier.
The wave of posts included an Electoral College map, newspaper front pages announcing his victory, and a photo of a MAGA cap-clad Trump with the text: “Get ready for the Golden Age.”
”We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible, and it is now clear that we’ve achieved the most incredible political thing,” Trump said early Wednesday in a victory speech after it became likely he would prevail over Democrat Kamala Harris.
Hours earlier, Trump started his transition to the White House, naming Susie Wiles chief of staff. She spearheaded his 2024 presidential campaign. It’s the first of many appointees to help him push his agenda that includes mass deportation, more tariffs and extending tax cuts.
On Thursday, President Joe Biden assured Americans there will be a “peaceful and orderly” transition: “Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and I assured him, I will direct my entire administration work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.”
Who is on Trump’s enemies list?
For years, Donald Trump has threatened to go after countless political rivals who he claims have wronged him.
In speeches to supporters and rants on his Truth Social platform, he has on multiple occasions vowed to seek “retribution” and called his political opponents the “enemies from within.”
During an interview with Dr Phil in June, he issued an especially ominous threat. “Well, revenge does take time. I will say that. And sometimes revenge can be justified,” he said.

Democrats cling to false hopes of huge gap between Biden and Harris
Less than 24 hours after Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States, social media users began pushing two conflicting narratives to suggest election fraud.
One revived false claims by Trump that the 2020 vote was stolen from him and the other questioned how Vice President Kamala Harris could have received so many fewer votes in 2024 than President Joe Biden in 2020.
Both narratives hinge on a supposed 20 million vote gap between Harris and Biden.
Here’s a closer look at the facts.

‘Nostradamus’ pollster bashes rival after both election predictions flopped

EDITORIAL: Europe cannot rely on Trump’s protection – it must take the lead on defence
As the US takes its isolationist turn and pivots its own defence efforts towards the Indo-Pacific and China, it is vital that Europe, including Britain, looks to its own resources.

Elon Musk: King of the MAGA media universe
Io Dodds writes:
Elon Musk is now unquestionably the king of MAGA media.
Tech journalist Charlie Warzel once named it “the new media Upside Down”, riffing on Stranger Things. Sean Illing at Vox referred to it as “the fantasy-industrial complex”. Wikipedia simply calls it the “right-wing alternative media”.
To Musk, a born-again MAGA crusader who has spent the last two years reshaping one of the world’s major social networks in his image, this parallel universe of algorithm-aided disinformation is simply “citizen journalism” — even if his description does sound a lot like traditional journalism.
