Donald Trump Coming Back Is Already Spooking Western Elites Who Will Reminisce His First Term by Martin Jay!

What would 2024 look like with Donald Trump back in the Oval Office for Europeans?

Should western elites and even NATO itself be afraid of Donald Trump returning to the White House in 2024? It is an entirely valid question given that the elites own "news" website in Brussels - Politico - penned a piece recently which argued not only should they be bothered, but they should also prepare themselves for it right now.

Donald Trumps return as United States president is looking more and more inevitable by the day, driven by the nefarious meddling of the Biden administration and its determination to put him into jail, where they, erroneously, think his bid for the White House ends. Even the most obscure French MP which Politico wheeled out to endorse its article accepts this, so what would 2024 look like with Donald Trump back in the Oval Office for Europeans?

The short answer is an unpleasant one. Donald Trump will almost certainly believe that he has learnt his lessons the first time around and that his rants about NATO and EU countries having a free ticket to defending the West against Russian aggression were profoundly on the money, given what has happened in the Ukraine. His policies towards the EU bloc are likely to be much more divisive second time around as he will not only insist on a new deal for EU-NATO countries in the Ukraine war itself, but will go further to use his natural allies in the EU - Poland and Hungary - to beat the back of the Brussels elite and wreck its plans on all its delusional pseudo hegemony.

It is unlikely that he will pull the United States out of NATO as John Bolton recently predicted but a new hardball regime will certainly be on the cards which may well relieve him of the task of winding down the Ukraine war directly rather than just saying to the Europeans "if you want to pay for it yourself, by my guest, but we have paid enough".

This may well send the shivers down the spines of many EU leaders. And it might even get him impeached. But it is Donald Trump. He will not mind that at all.

The point is that the old cliché about Joe Biden being the grown up who "restored" the transatlantic alliance is just that. A cliché.

In reality President Joe Biden royally buggered the United Kingdom and EU countries by masterminding the meltdown of their economies while United States firms cashed in, not only with new tax breaks aimed at eco-friendly firms, but also simply by letting the Europeans oversubscribe themselves to a war which they can never possibly have the means to end.

So much for President Joe Bidens "America is back, diplomacy is back" soundbite which was quoted in the early days of his days in office. The harsh reality is that Bidens view of old Europe was very much from a colonial perspective. They have to pay for their dreams if Uncle Sam is going to make them true.

So Donald Trump now will come back with the mockery of Europes dirt cheap defence arrangement which, in reality, was not cheap at all. He will also pull out of the Paris Climate Change Accords pissing off Macron no end as well as give encouragement to the Israelis that their ideas of striking Iran are not completely bonkers (which of course they are).

But it is really what Donald Trump has in store for the United States of America on its own soil which EU governments should worry about more. He will invest more in fossil fuels, undo a lot of Bidens environmental initiatives, come down hard on wokeism and immigration and impose more tariffs on Americas competitors - both China and the EU = to help United States of American business.

Yet his second term in office, will not only be about focussing on humiliating Biden with such score-settling, domestically or around the world. It will also be about fighting even harder to keep the United States of America in the game both with international trade and also its waning dollar economy.

Donald Trump will have to face a new threat to the United States of America which comes as a direct result of Bidens war - and let us not forget his corrupt deals - in Ukraine.

The emergence of BRICS which will have five new members this year alone and is already taking full control of oil prices with its influence via OPEC Plus. Donald Trump will, in a nutshell, be fighting a new front as a new world order has emerged to challenge United States hegemony - or what is left of it - head on, which means much more than simply dumping the dollar as a reserve currency.

BRICS will have its own currency, its own clearing system and at some point, probably, its own defence pact.

The Donald is going to have a lot on his plate, leaving most EU leaders wondering whether it is better for them that Donald Trump ill-informed and belligerent is better than overwhelmed and panicky in the wake of a new relationship between the United States of America and the few partners it has left in the world!
