'We Have to Be Remembered for What's Been Done,' Trump Says on Return to DC

   After weeks of vowing to win his fight to remain in office, U.S.
   President Donald Trump issued a video Thursday looking back on what he
   called "historic victories" and said: "We have to be remembered for
   what's been done."

   Trump, who has yet to formally concede his November election defeat to
   Democrat Joe Biden, posted the message on Twitter after returning to
   Washington early from his Florida resort amid a fight with Congress
   over a defense bill and coronavirus aid checks.

   Trump praised his administration's accomplishments, which he said
   included its handling of the coronavirus pandemic and rebuilding the
   economy.

   Trump, who had COVID-19 in October, frequently played down the severity
   of the pandemic and oversaw a response many health experts have
   criticized as disorganized, cavalier and that sometimes ignored the
   science behind virus transmission.

   Trump said that the United States hadproduced a COVID-19 vaccine in
   record time and that he had correctly predicted this would come before
   the year ended.
