As Donald Trump returns to the White House, loyalty will be a key aspect of his second term. Unlike 2017, Trump is no longer a political outsider adjusting to Washington for the first time. While Trump has to contend with a closely-divided House, he now has much more control over the GOP.

00:00President-elect Donald Trump encounters a Washington vastly different than the one he was sworn into eight years ago.
00:05Congress is stocked full of his allies, his cabinet includes a number of loyalists,
00:09and even some Democrats want to team up on areas where they can work together.
00:13In 2017, Donald Trump had an uneasy relationship with corporate America.
00:17This time around, some of the leading titans of industry want to work alongside him.
00:21In 2016, Donald Trump narrowly won the White House and lost the popular vote to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
00:27This time around, he swept every single swing state and was the first Republican to win the popular vote in decades.
00:34Like in 2017, Republicans control both houses of Congress.
00:38But unlike in 2017, Donald Trump has a Republican caucus that is far more in his image.
00:43On the surface, Donald Trump hasn't changed many of his priorities from 2016.
00:47He still wants to increase tariffs, he still wants to address illegal immigration, and he might even still try to get rid of Obamacare.
00:53But his focus is overwhelmingly on illegal immigration, and the politics of it have changed drastically.
00:59Now, even some Democrats admit that more needs to be done to rein in illegal immigration,
01:03and many of his Republicans are in lockstep with his views on the subject.
01:07Donald Trump has completed his political comeback.
01:09He's the first president to return to the White House in over 130 years.
01:13He's now run his last campaign.
01:15But starting today, and in the first hundred days that follow,
01:18Donald Trump will face an unprecedented sprint to lock in his legacy before Washington turns its focus elsewhere.
