10 YEARS AGO TODAY, President-Elect Trump visited the White House after winning the 2016 Presidential Election…

Upon arrival, I captured this never seen before video in the Diplomatic Reception Room, before the usher made me put my iPhone away.

Thanks for taking me on this “JOURNEY” — President Trump!

The 2016 election was exactly 10 years ago today.
