America’s Resurgence Under Donald Trump: A Global Perspective, Whether Welcomed or Not
The reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris has symbolically marked Donald Trump’s emergence as the leader of the free world.
His commanding handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron communicated a strong message to the globe: America is back, regardless of global sentiments.
As Trump is celebrated by world leaders and dignitaries in Paris, engages in initial peace discussions with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, and sends his representatives to the Middle East, next month’s inauguration appears to be a mere formality.
Joe Biden is a lamentable footnote in history. The ostentatiously Catholic president conveniently omitted visiting Notre-Dame, delegating the task to his wife, who appeared enamored with Trump.
Joe can be described as PINO — President in Name Only — a term echoing Pinocchio, aptly reflecting his propensity for untruths.
Contrastingly, Trump stands at the pinnacle of triumph even before reclaiming the presidency officially.
Mar-a-Lago — his private club in Palm Beach, previously raided by FBI agents who searched through his wife Melania’s belongings — has transformed into the epicenter of influence.
The Winter White House
World leaders, celebrities, and affluent individuals are gathering at the “Winter White House” to curry favor with Trump, who cheerfully presides over meetings from a table on the terrace with a view of the palm-fringed Intracoastal Waterway or in the luxurious wood-paneled library.
Elegantly dressed women move gracefully through the warm light that heralds the golden era that Trump envisions for America.
A “friend of Elon” frequenting the terrace remarked recently that it’s difficult to leave due to the captivating spectacle of courtiers Trump “commands to his will” through sheer charisma — not to mention the aura built from winning the highest office against all odds.
Another highlight from Trump’s circle is the consensus that he has successfully dismantled the political “Five Families”: the Bushes, Cheneys, Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens.
Let’s explore this further.
Bushes: Although former President George W. Bush has wisely refrained from openly criticizing Trump or endorsing his Democratic adversaries, tensions have simmered since Trump overshadowed “Low Energy Jeb” Bush’s presidential ambitions in 2016. While many in the family have chosen silence, they symbolize the Republican party’s Never Trump faction, primarily comprising former Bush supporters who faced a humiliating defeat on Nov. 5.
Cheneys: Liz Cheney, the former Wyoming congresswoman ousted by voters in 2022, heavily endorsed Kamala Harris, accompanying her on the campaign trail, featuring in ads, and raising substantial funds from Never Trump advocates.
She allied herself with the divisive Lincoln Project, a political committee of Trump-opposed former Bush strategists upset after losing their influence in 2016. She aimed to purge the Republican party of Trump, labeling him an “unrecoverable catastrophe.”
Due to her controversial role in the Jan. 6 committee, she has been added to the growing list of unindicted individuals that the Biden administration is reportedly considering for a presidential pardon, alongside COVID enforcer Anthony Fauci, Russiagate Democrat Adam Schiff, General Mark “white rage” Milley, Alejandro Mayorkas — architect of border policies — and various first-family members like Jim Biden who benefitted from family influence schemes.
Dick Cheney, the former two-term neocon vice president, joined his daughter’s campaign against Trump, calling him a “coward [and someone who] can never be trusted with power again.”
Trump countered by calling him an “irrelevant RINO.” Neither Cheney has been visible publicly since the election.
Clintons: Bill and Hillary Clinton actively backed Harris, lauding her at the DNC convention. “Aren’t you proud to be a Democrat?” exclaimed the former president during Harris’s introduction as “the president of joy.” After Harris’s defeat, he revealed he had “not slept for two years” and experienced “outbursts of rage” after Hillary’s loss. What could he possibly do now?
Hillary, who claimed to have mentored Harris during her vice presidency, referred to her as “a singular figure [who] will be our first woman president . . . I am thrilled that Kamala is carrying the torch forward.”
At the very least, Hillary can find solace in no longer being the only Democrat to have lost to Trump. However, after backing multiple losing candidates, the Clintons’ influence appears to be waning.
Obamas lose their grasp
Obamas: Barack Obama’s visible role in undermining Joe Biden and endorsing Harris has tarnished the once-pristine reputation he and his wife maintained. Michelle, once seen as a potential party savior, resorted to demeaning men in her campaign pitch, suggesting their “rage” was obstructing them from supporting Harris: “If we don’t get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage for your rage.”
Obama, through his own explosive reprimand of black men and his use of the discredited “very fine people on both sides” slander against Trump, indicated during the campaign that he has lost touch with voters.
This perception was further solidified by a dramatic speech last week where he accused Republicans of mirroring Democrats’ actions against Trump: manipulating elections and weaponizing justice. “One side attempts to stack the deck and maintain a constant hold on power, either through vote suppression or politicizing the armed forces or utilizing the justice system to target opponents,” he declared, eliciting laughter nationwide.
It’s over for Obama. The spell has been lifted. Donald Trump has neutralized him, Biden, Harris, the Bushes, the Clintons, and the Cheneys. With renewed confidence and a gleam in his eye, Trump has consigned them all to the annals of history.
