Donald Trump has once again become president of the United States, contrary to the predictions of politicians and analysts who had already given up on his political career after his defeat in the 2020 elections. Experts believe that his victory was assured by several factors: a deep crisis in American society, the support of influential billionaires and discontent with economic problems.
Ynet writes about this.
Americans are increasingly expressing discontent with the direction the country is headed, especially in the context of inflation, rising prices and the refugee crisis at the southern border. Social unrest and the belief that the American dream was crumbling were a key factor in Trump’s return to the White House. Many voters saw him as a candidate who could destroy “the system.”
During the campaign, Trump managed to win the support not only of white voters, but also made gains among minorities, especially Latinos and Muslims, whose positions on immigration issues were close to his rhetoric. He also bolstered support in traditionally Democratic states like New York and New Jersey, and his harsh criticism of the Biden administration’s economic policies resonated with voters.
Trump’s campaign received an additional boost thanks to the support of Elon Musk, who became one of the key figures supporting his return. Musk, who has no less fame and influence than Trump himself, openly expressed his support, which strengthened the former president’s position among young people and businessmen.
The Biden administration’s policies, which have focused on progressive reforms such as minority rights and environmental initiatives, have failed to appeal to voters primarily concerned about rising prices and economic uncertainty. The Democratic Party also opted to protect abortion rights after Roe v. Wade, but expectations of a significant increase in support among women voters did not materialize.
For Israel, Trump’s return promises the possibility of restoring the relations that characterized his first term. Benjamin Netanyahu and acting Foreign Secretary Ron Dermer hope to work with the Trump administration to strengthen Israel’s position in the region and build on diplomatic achievements such as the Abraham Accords.
