Donald Trump regained the presidency of the United States by defeating Democrat Kamala Harris in an election whose result goes beyond, to a large extent, just domestic politics, because the victory of the Republican candidate will inevitably mark a new global milestone in all the domains: geopolitical, economic and social. Of course, for the standard-bearers of this hollow progressivism which exposes all the dogmas of the unique thought of a left determined to impose its particular code of values, Trump’s victory undoubtedly represents a setback of colossal dimensions.
Trump, a character with an often bizarre profile and free from official ideological corsets, has doubled the pulse of this vaporous and mantra-generating left which embodied a candidate with insane rhetoric who failed to gain the trust of American society. Which, without a doubt, should lead the Democratic Party to deep reflection, because its programmatic proposals are characterized by an obvious disconnection with the electorate. If Kamala Harris thought that her victory would come from the direct application of the theory of the lesser evil, she was very wrong, because although there are many reasons to seriously question Donald Trump, the truth is that his degree of leadership in the eyes of Americans is infinitely greater than its rival. This is one of the keys: Trump can be criticized for many things, but his image as a leader – which, after all, is what being president of the United States requires – is far superior to that by Kamala Harris. For a large part of Americans, Trump is, more than a leader, a kind of savior. On this side of the Atlantic, official progressivism portrayed him as an unscrupulous madman, intentionally forgetting his past achievements in economic matters and his proven abilities as a negotiator in the resolution of certain international conflicts. Trump is back and global progress is shaking in fear.
