You do not want to fall into the trap of romantic as an orientalist, which is immersed in Christianity and has done the good and evil binergies in the last 200 years. But a famous Chinese call comes to mind because another Trump absorbs the beginning of the Presidency: can you live in interesting times. All times are interesting for those living through them; Our generation is no different. However, no one can allow themselves to enjoy themselves that the world of Trump II will be more interesting than after World War II.
Partly, this is because Trump is completing the most part of the global institutional structure, which is mainly post-world wise II: United Nations and its several offshoots, which are global watchdogs and regulators on socio-economic issues As work as, and Bretton Woods Institutions, which outline global trade and finance. Simply significantly, American commitment to reduce tariffs to increase market reach for poor countries in rich markets is also in question.
A very strong China
The more important thing is that a tectonic shift is going on as China wakes up, after bringing Napoleon once brought with it. China is not a status quo – in fact, there is no emerging superpower when only around each other. But China also represents a culture, a imagination, and therefore represents a morality and decent outlook that the Christian is the West, the right and wrong and immersed in the perceptions of a truth, which struggles to understand.
How will Trump II handle a China that is much stronger than eight years ago? Despite the restrictions launched by Trump and the restrictions despite the restrictions despite the restrictions by Biden, China has upgraded technically in major strategic fields, but it has also received a follower for its alternative world vision-one that western-style democracy and Debint the order, stability and progress of the material.
Hard against immigrants and deep conditions
Trump returned to power as he was seen more capable of handling the economy, reducing prices, breaking on illegal immigration, and ending it and re -starting it to restore confidence in the government. His campaign made clear promises to his Maga base: “15-20 million” uninterrupted immigrants, destroying the “deep situation”, which “stolen” and “illegal prosecution against them” illegal prosecution against them “Chased, who demands vengeance against those who take vengeance against those who take vengeance against those. He opposed him, and rewarded loyalty anytime in a constitutional democracy.
In his first days in his inaugural address and office, he did exactly the same as he promised, neither disappointing his loyalists nor his critics. His speech called for the 19th century Imperial America when it expanded its territory – at this time, with the goals of real estate including Panama and Greenland. On his first day at the Oval Office, he signed 26 Executive Orders (EO), who addressed a detailed self of the most campaign commitments by a President. Although many of these EOS face legal and legislative obstacles, but fast pace continues, the US government has been re -designed to align domestic and internationally with Maga Worldview. This intention is to declare the world to declare that Washington was a new major major.
Two sticky decisions
The two decisions especially provoke his critics: the inauguration of the Cryptocurrency World Liberty Financial and Mem Sikka Trump on the eve of the inauguration and the inauguration of the criminals of 6 January 2021, with the blanket forgiveness of criminals of 6 January 2021, attacked the capital. Critics argge that because the cryptocurrency allows for anonymous transactions, Liberty provides a route to those who demand a strike with the chairman of the transaction – a favorable policy without being intelligent without anyone Provide financial satisfaction for. Meme Trump and Liberty, in this approach, serve as a presidential symbol tool that mixes governance with personal financial advantage.
The launch essentially became controversial when it was incorrectly stated that the Trump family had earned $ 500 million through the sale of the crypto “token”. In fact, Trump quickly received a market capitalization of $ 13 billion, and the Trump organization earned $ 7 million in “liquidity fees”. Critics argue that this is only the beginning; As long as the Trump leaves the office, their goal, they claim, the fate of the family is to swell by $ 5 billion.
Bang forgiveness
On January 6, the forgiveness of the rioters, who was convicted of attacking the police officers, continues to offend his critics. Even The Wall Street JournalOtherwise, Editorially supporters of Trump, citing their own survey, were important, citing their own survey, that about six of the 10 Americans waived the culprits. The forgiveness was also unexpected – one, because Trump said that the forgiveness would go through a veating process, and two, because Vice President JD Vance publicly assured everyone before the inauguration that the guilty persons would not be forgiven. Allegedly, as the staff worked through the veating process, a impatient Trump announced, “It is taking a very long time, it is called, I will forgive completely and show JD who will also show the boss that the boss Is.”
There is a case of General Mark Mile at the opposite end of the spectrum, who is the retired chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff. During his campaign, Trump suggested that Mile had treason and should be killed. Miles to stop the court-marshal were waived by Biden, but now he faces an investigation for “insult” while serving as Joint Chief of Staff (JCS) under Trump. Objective: In retirement, insult him by “demoting”. Mile had assured the post -imprisonment rebellion of his Chinese counterpart that Trump was not planning to attack China in his efforts to undo the 2020 election results. He also publicly supported peaceful transition of power.
Trump has often referred to Biden’s family and friends as well as his political opponents. Trump quipped, “Biden forgives his entire family, as I was giving my inaugural speech.” His constant attention to Biden is clear in an executive order that federal agencies have been directed to investigate whether the Biden administration has done illegal work to curb the freedom of speech and if evidence is found then “curable measures” “To. Ominli, Trump said gaiety Fox News That biden did not forgive himself.
Trump’s executive order was the classic trump, who delayed the ban on Tikok. The sanctions written in the law by an overwhelming majority in the House and retained by the US Supreme Court, were postponed for 75 days under the guise of “national security” ideas. However, in typical Trump Fashion, he publicly acknowledged that the real reason was the role of Tiktok that helps him win the election. The Manch had greatly impressed young voters to change his votes for Trump.
Exile race
The immigration crack was one of the most important executive orders and the promise of the campaign was fastest. Announcing a national emergency on the border, Trump participated in the exile of illegal immigrants, involved the army in anti -immigration measures and took up immune protection for religious places that became a major sanctuary.
As promised, Trump through the 14th amendment canceled the congenital citizenship despite repeated affidavit in its firm Foundation and Supreme Court decisions in the US Constitution. Executive order denies citizenship not only for children of illegal migrants but also for people born to parents on work or student visa. Trump’s hardcore stance on immigration is sure to make headlines in many countries including India, which is for the future of the future.
Trump also declared a national emergency on energy, one step The Wall Street Journal Found. Their “drill, baby, drill” mantra reduces an invasive push for fossil fuel exploitation, aimed at reducing retail prices by reducing natural gas costs. In particular, this is the only decision of Trump’s only decision, despite raising prices, the primary cause of biden’s election loss despite increasing everyday cost.
Trump’s action can affect the Republican base
The rollback of encouragement for karb and electric cars on renewable energy makes a little understandable – even for Corporate America, now is busy with Trump. For one, the US pumped more fuel than before last year, which became pure exporter. Second, as Tom Freedman reported, the largest producers of wind and solar energy in the US are five Republican-led states, and the greatest possibilities for these renewable sources lie in the vast plains of the American Heartland-Maga strongholds. Third, even though one is one of the climate change, as much as the world of Maga, it is comfortable that the energy policy of any major country should not be a “and” strategy, “or” strategy.
Mainly, Trump sent 2.28 million-federal bureaucratic bureaucracy in a spin with a hurry of executive orders, including a blanket freeze at the initiative of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and still efforts to employees There is an enthusiasm to report chasing. He also imposed a blanket restriction on the disbursement of federal assistance, including foreign aid – the letter was canceled and modified – and began an enticing for federal employees to resign in exchange for an eight -month salary. It was a purely designed as a “voluntary” proposal, although the inherent threat will not be guaranteed the jobs after completing its review by the Eleon Musk -led Government Efficiency Department (DOGE). Oddly, the DOGE notification itself was modest in its declared objectives: to use the full power of digital technology to make the government more efficient and effective, resonating the department of digital services installed under Obama with similar goals.
Trump has made the high tariff champion since the 1980s, but in addition to the danger of 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada starting on February 1, no major action has been taken against China – one alone on all countries alone Blanket tariff, as indicated in their campaign. Even Trump’s own government colleagues and ideologies struggled to combat primary arguments against Tariff: that they would increase domestic prices. In addition, the rest of the world have already adjusted in a global economy, where the US holds a low part of international trade, which means punitive tariffs will cause more damage to America in the long run than their business partners. .
Deepsek audience
Unexpectedly, the biggest shock for the US came from a Chinese company, not Washington but from Deepsak. The Hangzo-based firm unveiled AI-managed products and rival similar offerings at a fraction of cost-not using the state-of-the-art chips of NVidia but not by employing less powerful, very cheap options. This development has been termed as another “sputinal moment” for the US. As a CEO said: “It is as if you buy only $ 10 million assets, to find out that your neighbor has got the same for $ 200,000.”
Trump’s only public comment on Deepsak called it a “Wake-up call” for the American industry. However, behind the curtain, expect the fastest mind in your camp to assess the full impact of deep with Elon Musk and other tech mogles and to maintain American dominance in the most important emerging technology To assess from Elon Musk and other tech mogals. If there is an endorsement trump values above all, it is the stock market. And he was certainly not happy that Deepsek wiped out the $ 1 trillion from the market capitalization of Wall Street. China is a five -letter word that will disturb Trump’s second term.
