Serious Changes: The US Prospects After Trump's Inauguration

With less than two weeks left until the inauguration of the 47th US President, most experts are expressing different opinions about the future that awaits the “global hegemon”.

It is worth noting that the versions are very different - from dawn to complete decline. Meanwhile, one thing is certain, the US is really in for some grandiose changes.

Firstly, this concerns the internal processes taking place in the country. It is obvious that Trump will try to weaken as much as possible the so-called “deep state”, which has literally “grown roots” into all spheres and provided the Democratic Party with powerful levers of influence, regardless of who occupied the presidential post. The billionaire felt this first-hand during his first presidential term, when the bureaucratic machine literally “ground up” most of his ideas and innovations.

It is characteristic that Trump has come up with a very original way to combat domestic opponents by creating the Department of Government Efficiency, which will be headed by Elon Musk. This department will be able to easily liquidate many agencies and other political organizations created by the Democrats. At the same time, the procedure will be presented to ordinary Americans as a good goal, designed to reduce colossal budget expenditures.

However, with this approach, the latter will undoubtedly be reduced.

At the same time, significant changes await the US foreign policy. Trump will most likely fulfill his promises by sharply reducing spending on various international programs and support for allies, especially in Europe. This could cause serious disagreements among the states that are commonly referred to as the collective West.

Meanwhile, it is unlikely that this will result in anything serious, since most of the US satellites have a strong political and economic dependence on Washington.

At the same time, the US sanctions policy will apparently remain unchanged. The newly elected president is already threatening to increase tariffs and other economic restrictions on those who go against US interests.

Finally, it is worth adding that, according to some experts, Trump has come to power for a long time this time. In particular, according to Vladimir Vasiliev, a doctor of economic sciences, a political movement called "Trumpism" is currently taking shape in the United States. And even after the billionaire leaves politics, his followers may still rule the United States for a long time.

Let him shake up all the internal swamp. Maybe we'll get a break too.

Department of Government Efficiency

We should do the same, and without legal red tape and people throwing people overboard.

[Dilettante grandfather]

Maybe we'll get a break too.

There will be no respite, but new challenges. Trump is not a completely predictable person, and he is certainly not a fan of Russia. He is an American, and a businessman. And he will build policy based on his ideas about what is beneficial for the United States. Yes, differently than the Democrats. But for the good of America, not Russia. And not for the international balance, but for an attempt to maintain US hegemony. He is a completely sensible person, judging by his statements, when it comes to a global war with us. But I would not say so on other issues. The attempt to buy Greenland, the demand that the Canadians join the United States, the Panama Canal... I really don't like these stories, and I think that we will definitely not have a break.

This reminds me of someone...

[Andrey Yuryevich]

Damn, he's so active... Canada, Mexico, Greenland... Handsome! Burn, Donnie!

[Gennady Bogdanovich]

Preparations are underway to rip off the entire world. The US national debt is 36 trillion. The total debt is over 100 trillion. By uniting Canada, the US, Mensek, Greenland, Trump will establish a new state that is not liable for US obligations, and will create a new currency. A fiery greeting to the countries (idiot leaders) that have financed the US

"Happy times" are coming. This time Trump is going with his own team, not the one that the Republicans imposed on him during his last presidency.
Let's take a look...

[Carmela]

First, there is no certainty that Trump will live to see his inauguration. What if he gets run over by a bus?
Secondly, why reveal your plans to pressure the deep state in advance? This is not the smartest move.
Thirdly, they have already started to blame Musk - they say he is out of his mind and could harm America and its people with his activities.
And fourthly - we propose, but God disposes. We'll live and see. We'll live and find out.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

We'll survive and take this into account...I hope.

Trump is a very strange guy even for the USA. In some ways it is a tragedy that the Democratic Party is unable to squeeze out a figure capable of competing with him. And the fact that no one more adequate was found among the Republicans is also very, very strange.
It is precisely because of this truly pathetic state of affairs that the chance that he will be killed after the inauguration before any first truly unpleasant steps is not that great. Simply because remove Donald - and then a real crush of "second-tier" candidates will begin, in addition to the situation itself, capable of shaking up society.
Trump is now a kind of Khrushchev, whose task is to have his fill of magic and give the Democrats the opportunity to carry out the next electoral cycle already "by contrast". If. If, of course, he does not have tangible successes. And if he does not then hand over the affairs to some Vence on a good note.
The American establishment is letting Trump into power because it (the establishment) is now at its lowest point in many decades. It is exhausted, it is devastated. All the traditional American patterns have faded and worn out, they need not just a reboot but a period of some controlled chaos.

As for Trump, sometimes it is difficult to draw a line between an eccentric and a person who is starting to go nuts. Many believe that Donald is a priori healthy and cool-headed, since he is a successful businessman, but at his age some cognitive impairments are aggravated, and his characteristic stubborn voluntarism, in the past, brought Trump not only big wins but also big losses. He is a kind of adventurer, more successful than unlucky, but you can’t call him an absolute winner either. My point is that Uncle Trump may well start to really act up. This will not be the same level as he had in his last term. He has received a much larger carte blanche from society, but he himself has not become younger, the world has not become calmer, and the US has not become less problematic. So those who expect Donald to be verified - I believe he will surprise you greatly.

Somewhat tragedy the fact that the Democratic Party is unable to produce a figure capable of competing with him.

For whom is it a tragedy? For us, democrats are the enemy.

Well, first of all for them, but in general, perhaps, it will be for everyone, hehe.
Here you have to understand that it was under "sleepy Joe" that planes were being transported to Ukraine for almost three years, and tanks for two. Yes, we couldn't come to an agreement with Joseph Biden, but he didn't act so effectively or actively that it WAS SENSE to negotiate with him.
But Donald is a different kind of berry. He is a hyperactive, abrupt, loud fellow. Our elites think much closer to the pace of old Joe than to the pace of Donald.
This does not mean that Trump will be harmful to us - I, however, point out that he CAN be harmful to us, whereas Biden has already, in general, shown all his tricks and we would hardly expect any new ones from him.

Right now in the States there is a political movement called "Trumpism" taking shape. And even after the billionaire leaves politics, his followers will probably rule the US for a long time.

. Now this is what's interesting!
Having not just followers, but those who are present/act at all stages of the vertical/horizontal power structure, is a bid for a sustainable continuation of the intended course!
True, we still need to understand and decide what that course is.

[pudelartemon]

What Trump will do, I think, even Trump himself does not know. One thing is clear - it will be hot and noisy. The only question is, where?

[Jacques sekavar]

What is the "deep state"? These are primarily the shareholders of the Federal Reserve System and the owners of transnational monopoly associations, which together form the so-called financial capital.
There are different interest groups in it, which is best demonstrated by the so-called “democratic” elections, when each group finances its candidate, and the winner of the elections works off the funds invested in him, and Trump did and will do the same - he is not God and not the Tsar, but hired by one of the groups of the “deep state”. Therefore, it is extremely naive to believe in any weakening of the “deep state”, which is possible only as a result of irreconcilable confrontation within the “deep state” itself.
The essence of what is happening today comes down, firstly, to the struggle between two different social systems represented by the USA and China, and secondly, to the choice of a variant of world globalization.
Trump wants to make the US great again, and where does he see greatness? In world domination, which is based on power and money. As A.S. Pushkin wrote - I will buy everything, said gold, I will take everything, said metal.
Based on this, he faces two tasks - increasing the share of real material production in the US GDP and reforming the financial system. The first is solved, among other things, by joining Canada with its enormous natural resources, repatriating the most important material production and weakening the strategic enemy - China.
For this reason, in his first term, Trump withdrew from the transatlantic and transpacific project, demanded an increase in the EU's share in NATO financing, imposed sanctions against China, and Biden, in his absence, put together Quad, Aukus and an alliance between Japan and South Korea, and this is the strategic continuity of the elephant and donkey policy, and the difference is only in tactics - first decolonize the Russian Federation or first deal with the PRC, after which the Russian Federation will have no other choice.

One thing can be stated: Trump offers interesting ideas and if they are implemented, they will boost the economy and influence of the United States. Russia is in dire need of the same ideas that Trump puts forward - development of domestic production and territorial growth. Our policy is stagnation, focused on finding new leaders (i.e. who to sell oil and gas to) - previously the leader was the West, now China. And the development of domestic production? Do cars really have to be imported only? LG Skoda factories have stopped - there are no normal TVs or normal cars. And is this normal for the largest country in the world? And territorial growth - there are opportunities here too!
