Trump is back for revenge

The opinion polls misled the whole world with their deliberate and incorrect predictions that Kamala Harris was closer to the White House than her opponent, Donald Trump. The election results said otherwise, and Trump won, along with the Republicans in the House of Representatives and the Senate, who won the majority of the seats. The Democratic Party has been pushed aside, and Trump has become the absolute president of the US, supported in his racist, fascist decisions by both chambers of Congress. The first to suffer from this will be our Arab region with his destructive project, the “deal of the century”.

The Arab people did not expect any good to come from Trump nor Harris becoming the president of the US, as they both support the Zionist enemy. The former loves the Zionist entity, and the latter adores it, and they both worship it. Therefore, it is the first time Arab citizens did not care about the elections, were unenthusiastic about them and did not follow the results on television as they typically have done. As the saying goes, we are between a rock and a hard place, as neither Trump nor Harris will do justice to the Palestinian cause, and neither will give the Palestinians their rights, as they are committed to protecting the Zionist entity even at the expense of the blood of all the Palestinians. They are the ones who created this cancerous entity in the heart of the nation to be their representative in the region, and this is their project that they will never abandon, no matter what. This is in addition to the ideology and the Zionist-Christian doctrine that the fanatical right, of which Trump is part, adopts, as well as its excessive racism.

At the same time, it is difficult to predict Trump’s reactions and the nature of his positions towards the conflict in our region. However, the most obvious point here is that all the rational people in the Zionist entity and the US were against his victory. The Jewish population of New York also did not vote for Trump, giving their votes instead to Harris, confirming their belief that his policies would not serve the future of the Zionist entity even if it pushed towards more arrogance, especially since we are facing a long historical conflict that no one will be able to resolve with such pomposity or force. The “deal of the century” is evidence of this, and even if it is amended, as they claim, it will have the same fate as before.

Although the people may not care about Trump or Harris’s victory, the Zionist Arab rulers were rooting for Trump to win and are impatiently waiting for him to arrive at the White House. He is the friend who protects them and the support they rely on against their people who hate them. Trump is a friend of all authoritarian regimes, and because he is a dictator, he loves all fellow dictator presidents. We still recall when he welcomed Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, calling him his “favourite dictator”.

In fact, I have lost count of how many times Trump expressed his admiration for tyrants such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin, China’s Xi Jinping and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. Since he is a dictator and tyrant like them, he does not object to killing journalists, threatening to close specific television channels and vowing to take revenge on all the administration, security and judicial officials who did not support him in his claim that he won the 2020 elections, as well as those who investigated him in the many corruption cases filed against him that have so far led to his conviction on 34 criminal charges. There are even claims that Trump wished he had advisers like Adolf Hitler’s, who were loyal in their service. Moreover, because he is a racist, he urged conservative and religious Christians to make an effort to go to the polls and vote for him, as they have suffered persecution for centuries.

Right-wing political thinker Robert Kagan, the ideological godfather of George Bush, wrote in an article published by The Washington Post in November 2023 that the elections will result in a complete Trump dictatorship. Kagan elaborated that there is a clear path to dictatorship in the US, as Trump is the only beneficiary of the public’s disgust with the US political system in general and because the public believes that the solution lies with Trump.

So, what is the solution? Trump himself! His mere presence is enough to reassure them that the situation will improve, that America will return to its former state — strong, rich and great — and that citizens’ standards of living will improve.

Kagan predicted that if Trump wins the election: “He will immediately become the most powerful person ever to hold that office. Not only will he wield the awesome powers of the American executive — powers that, as conservatives used to complain, have grown over the decades — but he will do so with the fewest constraints of any president, fewer even than in his own first term.”

“What limits those powers?” Kagan asked, answering: “The most obvious answer is the institutions of justice — all of which Trump, by his very election, will have defied and revealed as impotent. A court system that could not control Trump as a private individual is not going to control him better when he is president of the United States and appointing his own attorney general and all the other top officials at the Justice Department.”

However, I disagree with Kagan, of course. The US will not go back to its former glory, and it will not be great again, as Trump’s slogan claims. It will not continue to be the only pole in the world as it was. The hands of time will not be turned back, as multipolarity has become an established fact. It is more likely that he will increase the decline of its influence by shaking the Western alliance.

Perhaps Trump’s victory with his madness and adventures will boost the path of US decline, and his presence in power will not serve the interest of the Zionist entity as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes with his illusions of absolute victory, domination of the region and the creation of a new Middle East at his hands.
