Trumps election victory: the schism in the United States is deepening, the fight is intensifying by Veniamin Popov!

Following a crushing defeat at the November 5 elections (Democrats are now in the minority in Congress), the United States Democratic Party is gradually coming to its senses, consolidating and launching new attacks against the Republicans.

Biden Democratic party

At the forefront of all this is the editorial board of the New York Times newspaper, which published an article the day after the vote titled "America makes a perilous choice". The main idea is that Americans should clearly understand the threat to the country and its laws posed by the 47th President of the United States, since he prioritises "the accumulation of uncontrolled power and the punishment of his alleged enemies". Recognising that the elections demonstrated deep dissatisfaction with the status quo, politics and the state of American institutions, the newspaper demands that Democrats unite and resist the destructive figure of Trump: the task now is to vote correctly in the midterm elections of 2026 and in 2028 "to get the country back on the right track".
The election of Trump symbolises the end of "American exceptionalism"

On November 14, the same editorial board published a new article "Trumps reckless choices for national leadership". "Donald Trump has demonstrated his incongruity with the presidency in countless ways, but one of the most obvious is the marginal figures surrounding him, conspiracy theorists and low liars who put loyalty to him above all else".

The media loyal to the Democratic party have launched a vehement campaign against the candidates named by Trump for posts in his government. They are accused of a variety of sins and the Senate is being urged to reject many of these nominations.

The idea that many troubles and problems await the United States under Trump is being dispersed in various ways, while the "red thread" is the idea that the president-elect is surrounded by incompetent people and that they are simply unworthy to perform state functions.

Famous United States columnist David Ignatius noted in the Washington Post that Trump is by nature a destroyer and hopes to overthrow what he imagines to be the "deep state", but American voters did not give him the opportunity to destroy the countrys military and intelligence services. If they approve Trumps appointees, they will do more to collapse his presidency "than Democrats ever could". The New York Times called Trump a "threat to global peace and security" on 11-18-2024.

The fight between Republicans and Democrats intensifies

It should be noted that Trumps supporters are not indifferent. A number of newspapers and TV networks have been charged with disinformation (amounting to $10 billion), calls for an audit at the Department of Defence are growing louder and louder and demands for an investigation of the many miscalculations of the Biden administration are being voiced on television.

The plan for changing power in the United States ("Project 2025"), developed by one of the think tanks supporting Trump, is being criticised sharply. It proposes to enhance the powers of the head of state dramatically, put a number of departments under his direct control (and to abolish the FBI altogether), resolve the issue of illegal migration with an iron fist, expelling all illegal immigrants from the country, and to "make federal bureaucrats more responsible to the democratically elected president and Congress". The ideological basis for these changes is the struggle for the revival of the "Christian foundations" of American society and the task of increasing church attendance is also highlighted.

In one of his speeches, Trump himself promised to legislate that only two genders, male and female, are officially recognised in the United States.

A number of publications, including Politico, say that Trumps victory actually means "the end of the era of American-style peace".

Political scientist Daniel Dresner thinks that the election of Trump symbolises the end of "American exceptionalism".

In the Foreign Affairs magazine articles are appearing stating that Republicans should now show a greater commitment to realism and restraint: "If the United States political class could agree that the United States has been overzealous in its foreign policy and should adjust its course, it would help to ensure that the country will not repeat the deadly mistakes of the last 20 years, where the United States got bogged down in various conflicts".

Current events clearly indicate that a fierce battle in the ranks of the American elite is being aggravated; the supporters of globalism and aggressive liberalism do not want to give up their positions. Nevertheless, the huge public debt of the United States, which exceeds $36 trillion, should force authorities to have a more adequate approach to military interventions, which "bring limited benefits and impose high costs on the United States".

Some comments from the countries of the Global South say that the United States is apparently awaiting a long internal political struggle, which may limit United States activism in the international arena. Along with this, it is suggested that Washington,D.C.s policy is unlikely to change overnight. For example, the Turkish Daily Sabah newspaper expressed on November 15 that "the next four years will not be any better", however, most importantly, they should also not be worse. Trump should adopt a cooperative approach to foreign policy and security that recognises the limitations of the United States.

At the same time, the Egyptian Al Ahram, noting Trumps pro-Israeli approach to the Middle East, stressed the other day that the newly elected United States president recognises that Israel has lost what he called the "PR war" and should therefore soon put an end to the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, since the world can no longer tolerate daily bloodshed and preposterous destruction.
