• Former President Donald Trump hints at the end of his political journey after the recent election.
• Despite losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, Trump insists he is the winner.
• Trump's refusal to concede led to a riot at the Capitol, but he insists his supporters are not violent.
• As the 2024 election results are counted, the world waits to see the impact on US foreign policy and global politics.

In a recent turn of events, former President Donald Trump has hinted that his political journey may be nearing its end. After casting his vote in the presidential election, Trump stated that this was the best campaign he has run. Speaking at a polling station in Palm Beach, Florida, near his Mar-a-Lago home, he said, I ran a great campaign. I think it was maybe the best of the three.

Trump's political journey has been a rollercoaster ride. He won his first election against Hillary Clinton, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, in 2016, but lost the second to President Joe Biden in 2020. Despite the defeat, Trump has not conceded and insists he is the winner. He said, We did great in the first one. We did much better in the second one, but something happened. And, this was the best, I would say this was the best campaign we ran.

Trump's Supporters and the Capitol Riot

The former President's refusal to concede defeat in the last election led to a riot on January 5, 2021, where his supporters invaded the Capitol while Congress was certifying Biden's election. The rioters made death threats against Vice-President Mike Pence and forced members of Congress to flee. Despite this, Trump said that he did not expect violence this time, adding, My supporters are not violent people.

Trump's wife Melania joined him at the polling station set up at a tightly guarded recreation center. He posted on social media, Voter enthusiasm is THROUGH THE ROOF because people want to Make America Great Again. That means lines are going to be long! He encouraged his supporters to stay in line and vote no matter how long it took, adding, The Radical Communist Democrats want you to pack up and go home.

The Obamas Urge Americans to Vote

Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama have been urging Americans to vote. Obama asked people to share their voting stickers on social media after casting their ballots. He said in a video, Folks, this election is going to be close. In some states, just a handful of votes in every precinct could decide the winner. So you need to get out there and vote ... tell your family, talk to your neighbors, make a plan, go to the polls with your friends, and vote.

In a related development, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated that he would feel comfortable leaving his daughter alone with Donald Trump. Despite the accusations of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and other forms of misconduct against Trump by more than 20 women since the 1970s, Johnson said, All I can say to you is my experience of Donald Trump ... My experience with Donald Trump is that when I've known him - I hear what you're saying - maybe I'm wrong, but he has been courteous; he has been polite.

As the election results are being counted, the world waits with bated breath to see who will occupy the world's most powerful political office from January 2025. The results are expected to impact US foreign policy on critical issues, particularly in the Middle East, where ongoing conflicts involve Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.
