Trump’s triumph and the reactions in America

Donald Trump recently completed a historic election, also winning the swing state of Arizona and securing 312 electoral votes. However, his success has sparked waves of protest in numerous American cities, from New York to Seattle, against his victory. The first reactions have manifested themselves in protest marches, while the political climate is becoming increasingly tense.

“Crimea is lost,” Trump adviser Bryan Lanza said, stressing that the new administration will focus on peace in Ukraine, rather than restoring the country’s territorial unity. According to Lanza, a request by Zelensky to return Crimea to Ukrainian control would not be considered serious.

Protests and political tensions

Anti-Trump demonstrations have intensified, with clashes already expected with California Governor Gavin Newsom. The Democratic governor is preparing measures to make his state “Trump-proof”, opposing the policies of the new president-elect. Trump responded to the criticism by calling Newsom “Gavin Newscum” and accusing him of harming California through his political decisions. Tensions are rising further as Newsom announces a special session of the House to address threats to his electric vehicle and immigration policies.

An uncertain future

The Trump administration is preparing to introduce significant changes, particularly in the area of ​​immigration. An estimated 1.3 million immigrants could be subject to immediate deportation. Trump is considering declaring a national emergency to facilitate these operations.

According to the American Immigration Council, mass deportations could cost $968 billion over a decade. However, Trump argues that the cost is not the main issue but rather the pressing need to address the situation. With protests already scheduled for January 2024 and a heated political climate, the future of the Trump presidency looks increasingly complex. Internal and external challenges will test the new administration’s ability to govern in such a polarized environment. In this uncertain landscape, the coming months will be crucial for both the Trump administration and its political opponents, as the country prepares for a possible new era under a Republican government.
