Trump Reincarnation
The old robbers
The luxurious appearance of Donald Trump in public after a year-long pause can be considered both unexpected and sensational. But, most likely, it is very timely. Indeed, in addition to the presidential elections, which are still three years away, there is something else on the current agenda now.
First of all, the elections to the Congress. No, the ex-president is unlikely to be moved there, but Trump will be an excellent catalyst for attention to other Republicans. Moreover, his party still has a serious personnel shortage, which will be discussed below.
The Democrats with cadres are in a little better position. In addition, the direct heiress of the current owner of the White House, Kamala Harris, will not catch up not only to the level of Barack Obama, but even to her patron. Her popularity and ratings are bad, and, perhaps, everything is in order only with charisma - but this is only in the personal opinion of the author.
Joseph Biden has already had to make it clear that his second term is in doubt, but the current official leader did not dare to call K. Harris the future candidate from the Democratic Party just as directly. Or just not in a hurry.
It is clear that Biden himself is already embarrassed by age, and although Trump is only three and a half years younger, in energy and charisma the 45th president again, like a little over a year ago, outperforms the 46th. And now he doesn’t have behind him the burden of losses from the covid, comparable to the losses in the world wars, there is no indistinct economic plume after the anti-covid measures.
And many are amused by the very fact that for the second term after the first resignation, "playboy Donald" will go at exactly the same age as Joe Biden went. Only now, as if this one then did not fall asleep periodically at the post.
Donald Trump, and after him the Republican Party, decided not to put off until later the use of the fact that even now the decisive majority of Americans are aware that with the advent of Biden, and most importantly, the Democrats, things have not improved. Significantly worse - too, although Trump was able to "knock down on the fly" just with promises of the best.
This has never happened in America, but now a number of analysts are quite seriously saying that it is time for the Democrats to call old Barack, ex-President Obama, to the forefront. And not necessarily against Trump. Although the presidential elections are still very far away, it is impossible to exclude the upcoming duel of the two "former" old robbers.
But that's something else - in the States they started talking seriously about the prospect of the return of the "bat Hillary" - Mrs. Clinton, the former Secretary of State with B. Obama, and by no means the former wife of former President Bill Clinton. And it will really be something if the 2024 elections suddenly become a repeat of the 2016 elections.
Obama and Trumpism
By removing Trump after just one presidential term, which is a rarity in the United States, the Democrats seemed to have to return to the course of Barack Obama. Especially since Joe Biden was his permanent and quite successful vice. However, you have to, but you don't have to.
And transparent hints have already been used that the best of Trump should not be broken, moreover, under a very convenient slogan - "we don't have bad presidents." It was precisely the Trump administration that was criticized for being too hasty to deal with the legacy of the Democrats, but rather, Barack Obama personally.
Everything that Trump broke, Joe Biden is no longer able to fix, but it would be nice to figure out what is common and different in the courses of the two predecessors of the current owner of the White House.
Let's start with the fact that by definition there cannot be a really fundamental strategic difference in the programs of presidents, regardless of their party affiliation.
However, the differences are strongly emphasized by the two parties and hyped by the press. America, on the other hand, needs to be constantly reminded that the two-party system is not a decoration, but the most convincing confirmation of loyalty to democratic values.
So the pro-democratic media remind of the “real obamstvo”, and with enviable regularity.
About the social orientation of Obama's reforms in medicine and clearing the rubble in a large American mortgage, as well as the ability to maneuver on external fronts, up to the notorious nuclear deal.
And in response - about the bet on a strong farmer and an average entrepreneur from the outback, made by Donald Trump. In economics, they also emphasize that the Democrats and Obama have always believed in the great strength of the dollar, just as Gaidar believes in the iron hand of the market.
How successful was the introduction of elementary order in the financial environment after the 2008 crisis, which was carried out just under Obama, is a moot point, but the financiers themselves were certainly pleased with it. This is confirmed by the turn of the bankers to face Biden even before the 2020 elections.
And this is despite all the benefits and preferences from Trump in exchange for the full support of the real sector.
Of course, a non-establishment Republican like Trump would simply not be allowed to repeat many of Obama's tricks, such as the famous "helicopter money drop."
Let me remind you that this was the so-called “Wall Street operation”, which was carried out by the Federal Reserve System, when trillions of dollars were pumped into the US economy due to extremely low interest rates. And instead of punishing presumptuous bankers and speculators, millions of simpletons with mortgages had to answer with hard-earned dollars.
Trump then had to make do with the support of the majority, relying on tough protectionism, as well as giving a damn about US leadership in globalization. On the external fronts - trade wars, on the internal - the refusal to finance programs in favor of those who themselves do not want to bring benefits, if not material, then at least moral.
Are the Republicans ready?
It is characteristic that many note how Trumpism has already begun to return, although so far no one has even seriously formulated its key provisions.
The readiness to return the "obamstvo" has long been declared, and Barack Obama himself has already made a public return - almost in unison with Trump's rallies, he flashed several times not behind his back, but simply at Joe Biden's shoulder.
Who is behind the leaders, it seems, does not know in America itself, even in the Republican Party. We won’t get personal in detail, although here it’s worth at least recalling former Vice President Michael Pence (Trump's last case) or sharp and frisky Senator Ted Cruz with his regular failures with the vote of a particular bill.
Not counting, of course, the latest success, which is very dubious, with a defense budget without sanctions against Nord Stream 2. Pence and Cruz, however, are even worse off with popularity than Biden and his vice-Harris. Ratings do not even reach 10 percent.
The leaders there are completely unknown abroad natives of Florida - Governor Ron DeSantis and two senators - Marco Rubio and Rick Scott. But where are they with their in-depth interest in domestic affairs before the flamboyant Trump. As you can see, this "returner" decided not by chance to recall the notorious "hand of Moscow" in his first public speech.
It is only strange why the Russian media supported him so sluggishly. It was not worth expecting anything else from the Americans, they generally left this bone for bloggers and social media activists. Moreover, the time for harsh rhetoric against Donald Trump personally and his stubborn associates in the Republican Party has by no means passed.
No, such things as "they prevent the Democratic administration from clearing the rubble" take place regularly. But the strongest epithets will be used already before the next elections, which are to be held in November. Then the entire House of Representatives will be re-elected, which is 435 people, and a third of the Senate - 34 people out of 100.
