Donald Trump will shake the world as president of the United States, following his election as the 45th president of the United States on Tuesday.
After a long polarizing election campaign, characterized by scandalous revelations, wide allegations, and bitter exchanges of words, the contest is finally over. All those who strongly detest him will be dumbfounded. And the extent to which he will shake the world has not even begun.
The billionaire straight talking mogul with many controversial ideals, is the man who will lead America, and shake potentially shake the foundations of its customary laws and lifestyle. The victory was akin to the similarly shocking victory for leave campaigners in the divisive UK referendum that took place last June. Trump has long made clear his plans to impose a temporary ban on Muslims entering America, a controversial declaration that drew criticism from many leaders and political figures, including the new Muslim Mayor of London.
World Shaker
Mr. Trump, the 70 year old real estate developer-turned-reality television star, spectacularly conquered the establishment forces that united against him, shockingly eclipsing the ostensibly formidable joint forces of the mainstream media, most of whom loathed him, and had seriously implored American voters to reject his candidacy. The collective effort failed, and Trump, ever so critical of the media whom he deemed corrupt, prevailed. Trump will undoubtedly shake the world as U.S president, how generally positive or detrimental this will be to world interests, is yet to be seen.
Trump’s criticism of the media as being corrupt, was highly subjective. The media had good reason to question Trump’s suitability for America’s top job, especially in light of some of the imprudent comments he had made before the cameras. If the media was biased against him, it was because of a wide array of issues that alarmed many of them.
Bias in this sense may just have been a perception- many sections of the U.K media, and even a number of writers for the eye of media.com wrote more favourable articles for Clinton, though we did approach Trump’s team for an interview to give an objective reflection of his outlook, but Trump was too busy at the time to oblige. All is done now, and Donald Trump will shake the world as president, in ways we probably have not full fathomed.
He will shake the world when it comes to immigration laws and foreign policy in general, abortion laws, media conglomerates, gay marriage, and much more. Trump has expressed an inclination to allow various states in America to have their own laws on some of these issues, but it will be interesting to see how Trump shakes the wold in his very different outlook on critical issues, and how the U.K- a longstanding ally of America, measure up or responds to any of these radical changes promised by Trump. He may improve relations with Russia, or at least calm things down in a way that would have been much less likely under an administration under Hilary Clinton.
President Of The United States
“Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division,” the new president of the United States said. “It is time for us to come together as one united people. It’s time.Trump offered admirably warm words for Mrs. Clinton, saying she was owed ” a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country”. Trump had previously suggested Clinton should be in jail, but is expected to focus on uniting America as opposed to opening old wounds in one of the world’s most heart gripping elections.
Mr. Trump’s win — stretched across the battleground states of Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Trump’s victory shook the world so much that it has already caused some changes in the financial system. His victory shook the world also, because of the unpredictable impact it could have on Barack Obama- the incredibly articulate president who came under attack by Trump during his campaign. Uk prime minister Theresa May already sent her congratulations to Donald Trump upon the news of his victory. It will be very interesting to see how Theresa May manages the awkward fact that Donald Trump appears to warm up to Vladimir Putin, whom the rest of Nato and former America distrust.
