Trump has achieved in his first two days more than Biden and Harris achieved in four years. And he’s not even in the White House yet.
In his first two days after winning the election, President-elect Donald Trump had some immediate successes. The successes were not of his making, except to the extent that he was the incoming president. They were brought about by reactions from those likely to be impacted by his presidency.
You have the Ayatollahs getting in line, Hamas saying they’re ready to stop, Putin saying he’s open to peace talks and the Houthis saying they are willing to talk peace and stop bombing ships in the Red Sea. The sharemarkets got an initial bounce.
On top of that there is Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, announcing that they will look at ceasing buying LNG from Russia but buy it from America – she says it’s cheaper. Not so. This is clearly a political move, as American LNG is four times more expensive than Russian. She also wants to talk to America about the EU trade debt and other common interests.
None of this would be happening had Trump not won the election. These organisations, for their own reasons, are keen to ensure they are on the right side of Trump. The leaders of the groups making placatory noises will all be reflecting on Trump’s first term. They are aware of measures Trump could, and likely will, take.
Iran will not relish the prospect of being bankrupted again and both Hamas and the Houthis will realise that it is not just Israel, but America also, that will be after them. The chances of winning that battle is virtually zero. Their problem is that Trump is unlikely to be deterred from his intended path of action.
In terms of ending the wars, I think Trump has a better chance in the Middle East, as he will be supportive of Israel’s attempts to stamp out the terrorist organisations once and for all. It will be personal for him with Iran, bearing in mind it seems they were behind at least one of the assassination attempts on him.
I am not sure what he has in mind for Russia and Ukraine but, if it involves Ukraine giving up territory, I think he will find Zelensky a less than willing partner. I also feel that an arrangement of that sort would embolden Putin at some future date. The fact that these terrorist leaders are becoming so exercised so early in the piece gives you some idea of how they regard Trump. They know he is not to be toyed with. They are only too aware of what the consequences might be.
This is why Trump winning the election was crucial not just for America but for the world. The globalists such as George Soros have taken a right spanking. The United Nations’ agenda will be scrutinised. Remember that in his first term Trump withdrew America from the WHO. America will be charting a very different course.
It is worth remembering that no major wars were started during Trump’s first term. No one dared make a move. They all stayed in their hidey holes. From their responses in the first two days post-election, it seems they would like to crawl back into those hidey holes. Trump won’t allow that until suitable peace arrangements are in place. He does not want America involved in endless wars, consuming monies that could be better spent on domestic policies. In that sense he will have the backing of the free world. How he stops them will be fascinating to watch.

It looks to me that unlike Trump 1.0, Trump 2.0 appears to be more focused on America's obvious and somewhat ridiculous problems (which are not dissimilar to our own), and less on gathering money to get himself out of his personal financial abyss.
I've said a few times on this site that Trump is an idiot but he brings excellent people in with him. Having listened to a few of his (no notes) speeches, I realized that while he rambles somewhat, Trump rarely puts a foot wrong so he has more intelligence than I originally gave him credit for.
And look at his stellar team. I especially like his border tsar. Is anyone in any doubt Homan is going to fix the border and deport millions of illegals?
Although, My Trump 2.0 assessment does seem a little too rosy.
Mark, Trump weaves his speeches , quite unlike rambling he comes back to subject but you are in a more informed position. I thought the whole Trump via Joe Rogan (3 hour + )podcast was special and a great intro into informative (and election winning) journalism.
I suggest NZ government invite RF Kennedy jnr to NZ to taste and see our world leading healthy food and clean production.
NZ would Not have to be concerned about US tariffs.
Trump "weaves" his speeches. Give me strength. The man simply can't hold a thought for more than 30 seconds. And if he never puts a foot wrong Mr Hanly, it's because he hardly ever says anything of substance to get wrong. But when he does get it wrong he does it in style. Should I mention bleach? Should I mention the path of hurricanes? Should I mention that tariffs are paid by the exporting country? Oh boy does he get it wrong! Sometimes it's a result of his overwhelming ignorance. Other times he's simply lying. Either way he's gaming the system for his own profit. But he brings excellent people with him you say. A stellar team in fact. Oh dear, if you think RF Kennedy, Mat Gaetz, and Pete Hegseth are excellent people then you've never heard the one about the lunatics running the asylum. And he's only getting started. But of course the reality is that they're not appointed to run anything; just ask "how high" when told to jump. And I'm all agog waiting for Marjorie Taylor Greene's reward from the molester-in-chief. Given Trump''s attitude towards women it will not be pretty.
