Trump's 2016 victory speech four years on

President-elect Joe Biden gave a widely praised victory speech in the US presidential race on Saturday night, while Donald Trump continued to deny the results.


Looking back over President Trump's term though, has he achieved what he promised?


Host Lucie McInerney and Washington DC Bureau Chief John T Bennett look back to Trump's victory speech in 2016.


An address he never thought he'd have to give, the speech was free of the divisive language we've come to associate with his presidency.


From congratulating Hillary Clinton on her campaign to promising to be a president for all Americans, his words are barely recognizable four years on.
