It’s just a few days more for President Donald Trump s team to spend at the White House. The Republican commander-in-chief became the first one-time president of the 21st century and also the first since George HW Bush and despite his endless efforts to reverse the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, Trump could not accomplish his mission and even ended up as the first president to get impeached twice. The second one coming on charges of instigating his supporters to storm the Capitol on January 6.
Donald Trump has issued emergency declaration that will allow the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate with local authorities as needed.
