"After Gaza, where the situation remains critical, it's Ukraine's turn, because millions of people are dying in a senseless war ," Trump declared.
It was just after 8 p.m. on Saturday, January 19, when Donald Trump began his drive back to the White House at the National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. To celebrate, he had gathered his family, close friends like Paolo Zampolli, and a group of entrepreneurs, including Jeff Bezos, Goldman Sachs' David Solomon, and John Elkann. A fireworks display had been planned, complete with an Elvis Presley impersonator. When the future president of the United States entered the hall of mirrors and crystal chandeliers, he was relaxed and at ease.
"Thank you Steve Witkoff ," Trump said. " I needed someone to negotiate the release of the hostages in Gaza and he did a tremendous job. There are a lot of great negotiators in this room. I believe Jeff and David will be ready, but Steve was extraordinary ," he added.
However, Trump, who will have to implement the agreement from the White House, had no illusions: " The agreement is complex and the situation is very sad. I can't deny it, it's really very, very difficult."
Trump thanked those present and said: " It's been a very interesting period. We won an election where they considered us favored, but they didn't expect us to do it by a margin of at least ten million votes ."
Although the numbers don't match reality, he used the occasion to poke fun at Bezos: "His Washington Post was happy to report on our triumph."
He also warned his Republican colleagues: " We have made the Republican Party a mainstream party, no longer the preserve of the wealthy elite, but the favorite of the middle and working classes."
He doesn't like to describe the victory as a comeback: "They say it was the greatest comeback in history, but I don't see it that way, because I wasn't leaving and, therefore, I didn't come back . "
In the hall, he noticed SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son and invited him to join him: "He told me he would invest $500 billion in the US. First he said $100, then he increased it to $200, and now he's promising $500. This is a sign of the golden age that awaits us."
Then he addressed the family: "I want to thank you all. Melania, Tiffany, Eric and Don. Barron is somewhere; if he stands up, you can't help but notice him. Here are Ivanka and Jared. We are a big, special family."
"It was a great choice. I think the world hasn't had a sense of relief like it has now, a light in a long time. When I left the White House, there were no wars. Now millions are dying in Ukraine. It's a massacre: soldiers and civilians are being killed, cities have been turned into ruins. The victims are many more than what is being reported, millions. We must stop this senseless carnage ," Trump said.
His plan includes a freeze on the current front line, without recognizing the territories occupied by Russia. Abandoning or postponing Kiev's NATO membership and opening negotiations. Zelensky could be forced to negotiate by cutting off military aid, which would increase if Putin does not accept dialogue.
Then, the decrees he will sign today are ready. There are over 170 of them, according to sources: Restrictions on immigration, the resumption of energy drilling, withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and possibly from the World Health Organization.
After the fireworks ended, Trump headed to Blair House, where he spent the night. At around 1 a.m., he walked through the rain to Arlington Cemetery to pay his respects to the fallen.
On Sunday, he attended a rally at the Capital One Arena, the last with his MAGA supporters, where several convicted of the attack on Congress were also present.
"We won, we will take our country back. Four long years of decline end with my oath. We will make America great again. By tomorrow night (according to him) we will stop the invasion of our borders ." He cheered the return of TikTok: "I love it, we have to save it . "
In the end, he sent a message to the world: “We were on the brink of World War III; now it won’t happen again.” Elon Musk also took the stage, followed by his son X. Amid applause from the audience, he took the floor: “We expect to make many changes. Victory is just the beginning,” he said, describing his son X as an “enthusiastic supporter” of Trump . / La Repubblica
