00:00Four years ago, after being impeached twice and denying losing the election, Trump was
00:06out with a mountain to climb to regain the trust of the US electorate. A capital insurrection
00:12and criminal conviction later, and you wouldn't be wrong for thinking that mountain was getting
00:17steeper. But as today's win shows, the love for Trump is rife in the States.
00:23This was a movement like nobody's ever seen before. Frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest
00:30political movement of all time. There's never been anything like this in this country.
00:35Back here in Kent, there's been a mixed reaction to Trump's comeback.
00:39I was hoping for a different result, to be honest.
00:42My preference was Donald Trump anyway.
00:44Devastated. I just can't believe somebody that's a felon has got in.
00:50I think the main thing I've taken from it is that Trump doesn't care about women.
00:54It's going to be bad for Americans, it's going to be bad for Europeans.
00:57I think Putin and China are rubbing their hands at the moment.
01:01Meanwhile, our politicians haven't stopped to give their views, with the Liberal Democrat
01:05MP for Tunbridge Wells, Mike Martin, calling on the government to increase defence spending
01:10after he called Trump a threat to liberal democracy. Whilst others, namely the leader
01:15of the opposition at Medway Council, were more welcoming of the result.
01:18We have a special relationship between ourselves, between our peoples, and of course economically as well.
01:23So of course we send congratulations to Donald J Trump.
01:26So with Trump back in the White House, the world waits for just how this era will unfold.
