Donald Trump Returns to Power, Ushering in New Era of Uncertainty
特朗普王者归来，开启充满不确定性的新时代

唐纳德·J. 特朗普凭借打破美国现状的承诺第二次赢得总统大选，他挺过了刑事定罪、起诉书、刺客的子弹、独裁主义的指控，以及前所未见的对手换帅，最终完成了引人注目的权力回归。
Mr. Trump’s victory caps the astonishing political comeback of a man who was charged with plotting to overturn the last election but who tapped into frustrations and fears about the economy and illegal immigration to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris.

At the age of 78, Mr. Trump has become the oldest man ever elected president, breaking a record held by President Biden, whose mental competence Mr. Trump has savaged.
