ROME (ITALPRESS) – Donald Trump “may or may not like him,” but “there is no doubt that the whole world will measure itself against him on a daily basis: his decisions are not far away, but immediately affect our lives.” Thus Gennaro Sangiuliano presented at Palazzo Brancaccio, Rome, his book “Trump. The Rebirth.” “In 2017 I had published Trump’s biography, I took it up again and added new chapters that address the period from January 2021, from the tragic events on Capitol Hill to the re-election. None of us – I challenge anyone – predicted the return of Trump who, at the time, was not only given up as politically finished, but was even seen on the brink of imprisonment. All this needs to be the subject of study, including sociological study,” he explained. “In his inauguration speech, Trump said a very important thing, ‘I want to go back: it means to go back to identity, to one’s past and history. The theme of patriotism is very important,” he stressed. “Trump is taking charge of the demise of the West, of trying to do something to curb the decline of Western civilization,” and “he’s doing something no one has ever done: once you’re elected you try to tone down the language or tone down the tone, whereas Trump has further asserted his position. And that’s paying off, right now the polls say his approval rating is up. In my opinion, he won because of something deep, because he was able to identify and intercept the subterranean currents that precede even politics. “For Forza Italia’s group leader in the Senate, Maurizio Gasparri, “Trump’s case is unique: he wins, loses, then comes back and wins again. We have to consider that America is not just the America of Woody Allen movies: there is a deep America that has voted for Trump several times, that is concerned about the economy or immigration. As Biden said, you have to believe in your country even when you don’t win.” Regarding the relationship between the United States and Europe, “the military issue is inescapable and Trump calls us back to this issue. In recent years we have had Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the war in the Middle East, the Houthis bombing commercial ships from Yemen… defense is essential, if you don’t have full arsenals you don’t even have full barns.” The other issue is that of the network ‘giants,’ which “I am convinced should be taxed: on this issue, as well as on that of cryptocurrencies, I foresee a clash” with Europe, which “should be cohesive and united.” Compared to the first time, then adds Senate President Ignazio La Russa, “this is a plebiscitary election: this time I foresee a more reflective Trump, more able to manage what he wants to do without hysteria.” From a values perspective, “I think a certain commonality” with European conservatives “emerges from the first statements, as well as the desire to want to do good for his countrymen.” Why was Meloni the only European leader at Trump’s? “He invited her, you have to ask him why he didn’t invite the others. It was also logisitically complex, it was a touch and go. Why the others were not invited is an assessment that Trump made: I don’t think he makes only a sympathy speech but also a speech of convenience.”
