President-elect Donald Trump shared late-night victory posts on Truth Social on Thursday — his first posts since winning the 2024 election.
The wave of posts included an Electoral College map, newspaper front pages announcing his victory, and a photo of a MAGA cap-clad Trump with the text: “Get ready for the Golden Age.”
Hours earlier, Trump started his transition to the White House, naming Susie Wiles, who spearheaded his campaign, chief of staff.
The appointees will help push his agenda that includes mass deportation, more tariffs and extending tax cuts.
”We are going to fix everything about our country. We made history for a reason tonight, and the reason is going to be just that. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible, and it is now clear that we’ve achieved the most incredible political thing,” Trump said early Wednesday in a victory speech.
Trump beat Democrat Kamala Harris – who conceded the race on Wednesday afternoon.
On Thursday, President Joe Biden spoke from the White House and assured Americans there will be a “peaceful and orderly” transition: “Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and I assured him, I will direct my entire administration work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.”

Elon Musk: King of the MAGA media universe
Elon Musk is now unquestionably the king of MAGA media.
To Musk, a born-again MAGA crusader who has spent the last two years reshaping one of the world’s major social networks in his image, this parallel universe of algorithm-aided disinformation is simply “citizen journalism” — even if his description does sound a lot like traditional journalism.

Defamation case judge slams Giuliani’s ‘farcical’ excuses for failing to turn over property
