The results of the 2024 American presidential election show that people have rejected the 40 years of the neoconservative globalist project which had crushed the American dream to the core and pushed the American working class closer to the poverty line.

Democrats, who used to represent the American working class, one of their major vote banks, have abandoned them. Instead of not participating in the electoral process, people decided to vote for the Republican party. Republicans have always been considered far-right, racist, misogynistic and non-tolerant of the LGBTQ community.

Their rhetoric often includes an iron wall to stop immigrants, calling them criminals and mentally affected who eat cats and dogs; as well as a tariff wall against China. Above all, Republicans openly support the Zionist regime in Israel. So how did the centre left and far left mindsets convince themselves to vote for Donald Trump?

The discussion summarised above can be seen in any mainstream media house even blaming the American citizens themselves for being racist, intolerant, misogynistic and homophobic just because they abandoned Kamala Harris.

In think the 2024 US elections are a case study of the US Constitution's materialisation, beginning with the phrase 'We the People of the United States'. It is an effort to save the US from Americans. The 10 per cent globalist elite, in order to consolidate its power, deliberately avoided primaries and nominated Harris just to make sure that Bernie Sanders would not emerge as a popular choice.

This is probably why Trump masterfully managed to produce a political theater that says exactly what the masses wanted to hear. It does not matter if he will ever be able to fulfil all the promises he made, such as tariffs against China because these tariffs will devastate American markets with inflation and recession before actually affecting Chinese production.

He also talked about anti-war and America first policies, which he had promised during his previous tenure as well. But we have seen how deep state skillfully managed to penetrate his administration. John Kelly as his chief of staff, John Bolton as the national security advisor, Chris Ray as the FBI director, Gina Haspel as the CIA director, Mark Milley as the chairman of the joint chief of staff and Mark Esper as the secretary of defense are a testament to that.

This entrapped Trump in Russia-gate and other aimless animosities. During his four years in the White House and then the four years during the Biden administration, Trump faced syndicated media defamation campaigns accompanied by hundreds of lawsuits.

This time too, the appearance of Mike Pompeo on the scene is alarming enough for all those who revolted against the 40 years of globalist liberal agenda. Whether the US will ever be able to get rid of this 10 per cent globalist elite encircling every institution with its multiple tentacles is a discussion for another time.

The seven swing states, in their anger against the hypocrisy of the Ukraine proxy war and the genocide in Gaza, made Trump's triumphant victory possible. Regarding the war in Ukraine, the western media is already floating two proposals to establish their rhetoric i.e. to freeze the Ukrainian conflict for one or two decades or supply more arms, money and military personnel to Ukraine to continue fighting.

It is even ironic that the western media is finally articulating that the Ukraine-Russia situation is not a stalemate. So far, Ukraine is badly wounded and is fighting a lost war. If Trump decides to go for any of the plans proposed by deep state, he will again find himself in a position where he is accused of being the root cause of problems via a similar scenario of syndicated hypercriticism and policy maligning.

Therefore, if he intends to survive his term, he must not fall into this trap and must leave the Ukraine issue for Europeans to resolve by themselves.

As for the situation in Gaza, Trump too has no apparent way out just like his hypocritical predecessors. He has to be decisive unlike the previous administration which kept on saying in a single breath that it wanted to save Gaza and that it was supplying ammunition for an active genocide.

History has proven that the human mind is not ready for this level of cognitive dissonance. This leaves Trump with a clear confrontation with his dear friend Benyamin Netanyahu about a Palestinian state. He might even be able to revive the Abraham Accords and his dream project IMEC - the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor. If he can achieve any of this, he can also attain the victory of normalising ties between Israel and the Middle East and some sort of peace in the region.

However, Trump will have to overcome many obstacles in his tenure to gain the confidence of not only the American citizens but also of the world. The world is sick and tired of ever-lasting wars and the constantly deteriorating day-to-day life because it has figured out the correlation between the myth of liberal democracy for the sake of humanity and rule-based order for the greater collective good. Trump may be considered a controversial personality, but he may not be cynical like his hypocritical opponents in this regard.
