Trump is days away from having to confront the kinds of crises he's long been railing against

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Despite this, Trump invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to his upcoming inauguration, an invitation that was turned down.
38% : Trump has seemingly reacted to the latest hack by referring to the U.S. as a "laughing stock all over the World!"
38% : While Trump has announced nominations for a large swatch of incoming administration roles, he has not yet announced candidates for leading the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, or for top cyber roles at the White House.
35% : It's the kind of rhetoric that helped propel Trump back to the White House.
33% : "This is something Trump made a major point of during the campaign: People don't feel safe and don't feel the current Democratic administration or local administrations in cities and states are really doing enough about it," said Ryan Williams, a Republican strategist and former aide to Mitt Romney.
28% : House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) and House Select Committee on China Chair John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) earlier this month published a joint op-ed for Fox News calling on Trump to use "cyber-enabled operations" against China in response to Salt Typhoon.
25% : Trump has used the tumult as proof positive of the dark image of a declining nation that he projected on the campaign trail and pledged to reverse -- suggesting the attacks, whose main suspects are U.S. citizens, were in fact the byproduct of "open borders," erroneously claiming the nation's crime rate is at a high and blaming the recent incidents on President Joe Biden's weaknesses domestically and abroad.
24% : Trump has also vowed to work with state and local leaders -- even Democrats -- to cut down on criminal activity in cities.
22% : The new year is off to a turbulent start -- and Donald Trump is only days away from having to confront the kinds of crises he has long been railing against as a candidate and now president-elect.
21% : It also represents the latest major U.S. counterintelligence failure, following federal officials' admission that a Chinese government-linked hacking group known as Salt Typhoon had infiltrated major telecommunications firms and targeted the cell phones of Trump, his then-running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, and high-ranking U.S. officials for surveillance.
20% : Trump has pledged large-scale mass deportations upon taking office, and he and his advisers have signaled they intend to start with migrants convicted of serious crimes.
