In November of 2024, President Trump became the second president to ever be reelected after leaving the White House. And on January 20, 2025, he became the second president in America to serve two nonconsecutive terms. After losing the presidency in 2020 and suffering oppressive lawfare over the following years, his landslide victory in 2024 and inauguration the following January completed what may go down in history as one of the world’s most impressive comeback stories.

2025 was an eventful year, and the Trump administration was certainly not without its controversies. Nevertheless, it’s clear that President Trump is serving as a champion for faith and freedom—and it was your prayers that made that possible.
