Donald Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States. For years, a politician has been controversial. origin – Pixabay.com. licence – Content licence Pixabay. Author – Geralt.Donald Trump before the 2016 presidential run appeared primarily as a controversial businessman. His statements were frequently sexist and xenophobic. Trump's first word went under the sign of scandal and pandemic disaster. However, the 2020 election defeat did not discourage the billionaire from reopening in the presidential election. He even expanded his support and won a return to the White home in November that year. Why did the Americans trust him again?
It all started on June 16, 2015. That day, in the lobby of the fresh York Trump Tower, the celebrated slogan “Make America large Again.” It became the subject of Donald Trump's election campaign. During this speech Trump not only announced his candidacy, but besides presented the main electoral demands. The key point of the speech was to present the thought of building a wall on the Mexican border. It would prevent mass migration to the United States, which he thought became a “disposal of the problems of all another countries.” From the very beginning of the campaign, Donald Trump made himself a “political outsider” fighting the brutal strategy of the American establishment. He skillfully played longing for the old order, as well as supporting the discontent of parts of society. In this leveled fight against politician Hillary Clinton, Trump pushed the triumph scales to his side.
The defeat of the “political outsider”
Donald Trump's four-year word was filled with unfulfilled promises and a large amount of controversy. It is worth reminding that the politician was placed twice in impeachment, the first time in 2019 for abuse of power. The main charge against him was the effort to exert force on the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski. Trump wanted information about the activities of huntsman Biden, boy of Joe Biden, then a possible Democratic candidate in the upcoming presidential election, in the Ukrainian company Burisma Holdings. The Democratic home of Representatives dominated Trump indicted, but the Republican-dominated legislature rejected charges against the lower home in February 2020. However, this was not the only legal controversy of Trump's first term. many human rights organizations accused the then president and his administration of inhumane treatment of immigrants at the border with Mexico. The Covid-19 pandemic turned out to be another
a negative phenomenon for Republican electoral opportunities. Trump and his administration met with a wave of accusations of spreading conspiracy theories and questioning the legitimacy of lockdowns in the interest of the short-term condition of the American economy before the upcoming 2020 election. Trump did not get re-election in the 2020 election. The 46th president of the United States was elected Joe Biden. Trump's rhetoric, which undermined the election's results, became the storm of his supporters from extremist militias on Capitol. 5 people died as a consequence of the riot. Donald Trump was one more time indicted by the home of Representatives, nevertheless Republican Senators and this time defended their president against impeachment.
After the storm comes... Another storm
Joe Biden's presidency was expected to be a kind of silence after the storm. The beginnings of office seemed promising, and American society had hopes in it. However, the word of office of the 46th president of the United States fell on hard times. Subsequent waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine or the war of Israel with Hamas have turned the comparative order of the planet upside down. The United States had to bear a crucial part of the expenses of the Western planet associated with holding back the revisionism of Russia, Iran, North Korea and China. Joe Biden's policy included a wide scope of financial assistance for Ukraine and Israel, as well as strengthening the United States forces in the Pacific and Europe. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the US has allocated $175 billion to Ukraine. More than 35% of this amount was donated to support the Ukrainian economy and to supply humanitarian aid. Moreover, as part of the support package following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, Israel received about $17 billion from America, most of which were for military use. However, the American state is struggling with its own interior problems. Prices increase from year to year, while average income remains unchanged. Due to the advanced cost of medical care, many Americans do not have wellness insurance. American metropolises face homelessness, and progressive globalisation has led to the relocation of many jobs abroad.
Meanwhile, election time was inexorably approaching, and Biden's disappointment with the presidency grew overnight. They were deepened by advanced inflation and doubts about the intellectual abilities of the current president. Additionally, Donald Trump spread during the Republican primaries and in the presidential run aura of populist leadership and charismatic force. Biden withdrew in the mediate of the race for the presidential seat, and Democratic honor was to save Kamala Harris. This year's Trump run was set in motion
password “America First.” It should be admitted that the Republican candidate has read the social moods perfectly. The situation in Ukraine or the mediate East may seem secondary to the average American. Trump's promise of a strong economy has become any kind of compensation for Biden's "savvy" administration. Moreover, the Harris electoral run focused mainly on women's rights, liberalisation of abortion law or the green economy. These are undeniably crucial subjects, although from the position of many Americans, not the most important.
Fart better than power dressing
Trump went into unconventional methods to guarantee his support. He moved a comedy show to real life. It would seem that the presidential run is not a place to spread infantilism, but not to Trump. Republican candidate frying fries at McDonald's, however, could have looked good on it. “Working” in fast food or sitting behind the wheel of a garbage truck, Trump kind of identified himself with American mediocrity. Harris, celebrating her 60th birthday in the company of Stevie Wonder, may have been unaware of deepening the negative image of the rulers. all day millions of U.S. residents eat fries, while a fewer have the chance to meet celebrated artists. This dissonance weakened Harris' ability to gain votes tired of inflation and American interventionism in the working class world.
Elon Musk besides played an crucial function in providing Trump with a victory. Multibillionaire officially supported Donald Trump's candidacy. He besides donated the Bajoran sums to his campaign. However, the biggest controversy is caused by accusations of parts of users of the X platform directed against Musk. In their opinion, the X algorithms were affected. For this reason, any information hitting Donald Trump was effectively censored, while posts supporting his run had a much better chance of becoming virals. The imperfections of the run his counter-candidates were in turn visible to everyone. Kamala Harris' mistake was not adequate to cut himself off from Joe Biden's politics. Finally, she spent the last 4 years in his administration. Moreover, there was a evidence influx of immigrants to the United States during Biden's reign. They represented crucial competition in the labour market, which translated into expanding discontent among opponents of the current President. All of this took place for the benefit of Donald Trump, who frequently raised the issue in his campaign.
Americans “open” to closed doors
On the result of this year's election, an American spoke for Fenestry, whom I had the pleasance of gathering on 1 of the online platforms. According to Garrett, 1 of the main problems of American society is the deficiency of appropriate education, a certain openness to political and social issues. Many Americans, without drawing any conclusions and in deficiency of awareness, blindly follow populist slogans. The promises of easy money and the communicative conducted in the media prompts them to follow who teaches more cards on the table. In addition, in Garrett Oklahoma, as well as in another states, young men have right-wing tendencies. They frequently take on an utmost dimension. Throughout the dynamics of our world, Trump seems to warrant safety and stability.
January 20, 2025, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. The election results showed nothing but universal truths about the state or global society. The American nation is heavy polarized, and the planet itself rules money and promises without cover. Trump's triumph is besides Elon Musk's triumph, who has the chance to strengthen his political influence. He will be given the position of head of the fresh Department of Government Efficiency. Abbreviation of the name of the office – DOGE brings to head the cryptocurrency of Dogecoin, which reached higher value in November. Elon Musk himself is known for many projects balancing on the border of innovation and controversy. Among another things, Neuralink's brain implants or plans to colonize Mars. Trump's presidency can open the way to his goals.
One cannot clearly foretell what Donald Trump's second word will be. Will the United States follow the way of neo-isolationism? What changes await US home policy? Will Elon Musk become a grey eminence? Everything will turn out in the coming years.
