In the end, it wasn’t even close. Pollsters told us for months that it was a coin toss, that it could take days to count – before Donald Trump took most of the swing states and the popular vote in a single night. It was a near clean sweep for Republicans, taking back control of the Senate, and with the possibility remaining that they could hold on to the House. With all that plus a conservative-leaning Supreme Court, analysts and party stalwarts say President-elect Trump can now govern unconstrained. His agenda, as stated, includes mass deportations, deregulation, massive new tariffs on all foreign-made goods, and peace through strength abroad – though allies fear a more isolationist America. To react to all this, Christiane speaks with Trump’s former ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, who was a supporter of his re-election bid.
