DONALD Trump will be President of the United States once again — with a Republican-controlled Senate, and a Supreme Court whose majority supports him, indeed, protects him. (And the Republicans may even end up controlling the House).
And the whole world is waiting with bated breath to see how he will shake up the whole world order – from the United Nations and NATO to dealings with Russia, China and North Korea, beside the international economic system.
Expect Trump to demand that the United Nations and NATO follow the dictates of the U.S.
India and other countries that hoped to be included as permanent members of the Security Council with the power to veto any substantive Security Council resolution can forget about it. That is because Trump will not tolerate any more checks on U.S. power.
Will there be resentment within the U.S. armed forces regarding some of the major decisions he will make, though constitutionally they have to follow his orders?
How will he solve the Ukraine conflict – and the Middle East hostilities?
How will he deal with China’s threat to Taiwan and North Korea’s threat to South Korea, as well as the new Russia-North Korea alignment?
Trump has threatened to impose high tariffs on exports. Will that lead to a spike in prices in U.S. and cause resentment among the middle class – besides international resentment and retaliation?
So, fasten your seat belts and prepare for what is expected to be a wild ride!
