1 year since win, Trump still keeps vanquished foe in sights
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump handily won the election a year ago Wednesday. Ask him and he’ll tell you about it.
Ten months into his presidency, Trump is still focused — some say fixated — on the election that catapulted him to power. Egged on by longtime friends and cable news, he repeatedly attacks his vanquished opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton. In public and in private, he still boasts of the size of his triumph.
“It was great victory, and a victory that made a lot of people very happy,” Trump said Tuesday in Seoul, South Korea, his second stop on a five-country visit to Asia.
The president spent Wednesday shuttling from Seoul to Beijing for meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He mused to reporters earlier in the week that he’d considered having “a big celebration party” but White House officials said there were no plans for any formal event marking the occasion.
