How will history judge Donald Trump's second term as President of the United States?

[BouncerGuy]

As Donald Trump stands on the brink of securing a second term as President of the United States, both the country and the world are preparing for more of the same strong and sometimes surprising changes that happened during his first time in office. His time as president has been full of big and often debated moves, like changing tax laws, reducing government rules, taking a tough stand on immigration, and rethinking trade deals with other countries. Now, with another four years ahead, Trump is likely to push these ideas even more, which could change how America works politically for a long time. People who like him cheer for his "America First" plans and the new way he does things, while those who don't are worried about what this means for democracy and how the U.S. gets along with other countries.

When people look back at Trump's second term, they'll think about a few main things. The economy, which has had its ups and downs, will be a big part of that. How he deals with other countries, like China, Russia, and the countries in NATO, will also be important. Plus, the way he handles problems inside the U.S. could either make the country more divided or help bring people together. Another big question will be how much power the president has compared to the other parts of the government. In the end, what people think of Trump's second term will depend on what his plans lead to and how well the country handles the good and bad things that come up.

The greatest comeback in political history.

Look out for the tsunami of liberal tears.

 

[Farhan The Man]

Expected.

Got robbed in 2020 due to thievery.

Goddammit. These liberal tears are sumfin' special init.

 

[Bhaijaan]

The whole liberandou media, the Hollywood, Celebrities etc tried to bury him as a bigot but the people brought him right back to power.

This is people power.

Welcome back President Trump.

The term hasn’t even started yet, how will history judge will depend on how the term goes.

If Trump succeeds in everything he promised then it would go down as one of the best terms by a US president in recent times.

If not then it will most likely be just another average president.

Good luck to him.

I don't like the people he associates with and it is a shame that JD Vance wife is Indian but I hope he is successful.

It's always hard to know who really controls US foreign policy but if he can help to end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza then he will forever have my respect.

A lot of promises if he succeeds in ending the wars it will be a massive win for the world.

The Indian share market shot up today after hearing news of trumps victory, if war ends then markets around the world will rally short term to new highs.

This is a great opportunity for retailers to make profits.

If he takes U-turn on everything then it’s going to be real sad.

yeah Bitcoin and crypto miners in particular are up quite a bit on US pre-market.

Gold and Silver down.

Seems like markets are banking on an end to the wars.

Ya, if he can achieve that it will be a massive win for upper middle class retailers around the world.

That’s the only reason anyone from outside US should even care about who wins US election instead of concerns about fake humanity/religion/ethnicity etc.

The Ukraine war should end pretty quick. With just Europe providing meagre support, they'll last a few months at the most. They'll have to surrender to Russia.

Don't see how Gaza will end anytime soon. Netanyahu will feel especially emboldened though funding will probably reduce. More likely to be a dragged out conflict.

India's probably happy with the Trump presidency. It'll relieve the pressure we're getting for our relationship with Russia and will spur more derisking from China in the short term

I am in favour of Trump's isolationist policies. If Europe wants war with Russia, then they should be prepared to fund themselves. Hopefully this America First policy will also hold for the middle east, although putting a rein on the Jewish lobby might be a stretch. The American Jewish community also needs to put America First and stop expecting their country to fund israel's war expansion dreams.

One way or the other, this Presidency will mark the formal end of the meagre remnants of Pax Americana.

There's going to be a few changes in the world order...mostly taking what is already happening today to it's logical extreme.
- A lot more might is right
- A lot more strongmen and de-emphasis on democracy
- Decline or even collapse of multilateral institutions
- Emphasis on bilateral partnerships and local alliances
- Increase in tariff barriers and decline of global trade

Feels a bit like what I read of the pre-World War 1 era.

Trump shouldn't have won after he spent 4 years pretending to have won the 2020 election. Cosmic justice should have doled out some karma to him .. now he's set a new standard for spewing blatant lies in US politics.

I felt it would have been more healthy for Trump to have won a second term instead of the Democrat victory. At least the American public would have got it out of their system. Now the public have lost faith in their own institutions and are backing him despite him being a convicted rapist and other crimes.

Trump wants to leave record growth and will borrow trillions to do it. Sooner or later someone will have to pay the bills and that's when the crash will come.
