ROMA (ITALPRESS) – A year of Trump? Blitz, stage shots and displaced repetition without certainties, admit to Washington. Much more cruel, on the wave of increasing tension for Greenland, the prevailing evaluations in Europe: “One year from psychiatry Tso” is the most caustic evaluation. Of course, during the 365 days of the return to the White House, tycoon recorded the passing of its own record of the five statements per misleading day or above, established according to the Washington Post in the first 12 months of the previous term. With an average, he specified the daily newspaper that forced the resignation President Nixon, of 5,6 “menzogne per day”. The iron arm at the limit of self-harm with Europe and NATO for Greenland is only the penultimate exploit of Trump’s verbal and unfortunately also decision-making. But this time, in addition to the recurring earthquakes of the stock exchanges, they are at risk alliances of intelligence and defense like that with the United Kingdom of Premier Keir Starmer, stubbornly deployed against Trump along with European leaders solidarity with the Danes and the inhabitants of Greenland. “I’m not there” that of Starmer shared unanimously by British public opinion. “Europe and the United Kingdom must not yield to threats, because it would equive to accept a world governed by the law of the strongest” is the appeal of the editorial of the British newspaper Financial Times. The media, and not only the British, struggle to stand behind the continuing international and national overexposure of the 47th president of the United States. A double face president who paradoxically, while announcing that he wants to intervene in Iran to prevent the massacre of the Iranian people in revolt against the fierce ayatollah regime, orders the repression of rampant protests in Minnesota, Washington and other American cities for the brutal killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis by an immigration agent.
Awesome list of open fronts: duties, Greenland, Gaza, Kiev, Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, Denmark, Venezuela, Colombia, narcos, Nigeria, fratricidal attacks in Europe, NATO and Canada, dismissal on two feet of prosecutors and high state officials, National Guard in the American metropolises, clandestine hunting, Epstein case and finally the input for the delusional prosecution of the President of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. Twelve months at the rate of sudden slaloms who have made hair straight and drained pockets to Americans. A crescendo of contradictory challenges and interventions, synthesized by the Financial Times with the title: “Trump is making the world of China fall in love.” The instability and unreliability of the White House, explains the English economic daily, push Western leaders and economies to the court of Xi Jinping, who by biography and political experience is proving by far the wisest and cleverest among the tops of the three superpowers. “The world”, concludes the Financial Times, “has not been impressed by Trump’s tariff fury. What struck people was China’s success in reacting. America has demonstrated an amazing military power in Venezuela, but it was also predictable. What people have noticed is the military failure of Russia in Ukraine.” And instead the tycoon, despite the advantage acquired with the capture of Maduro and the assembly of the Russian oil tankers of the shadow fleet, continues to court Putin, feeding doubts and suspicions.
it is open with an agenda to say little imperial-neo-colonialist: from military to Venezuelan intimidation to Greenland, from threats of duties to European countries that do not adapt, up to the iron fist against popular protests for the brutality of hunting for illegal immigrants, a source of tension in an increasingly polarized America. It remains to be understood how the growth of tensions and mobilizations and the absolutist approach can hold over time, even considering that the president will turn 80 years in June. Decisive is expected the midterm elections in November, traditionally considered a White House referendum, and this year could offer an even more direct judgement on its leadership. The polls show a swinging consensus, although the administration is committed to showing that its economic policies are producing tangible results, to recover the consensus of voters concerned for the cost of life.
In his Wednesday speech at the Davos forum, Trump will focus precisely on this, jumping the theme of the meeting: “A spirit of dialogue”. But it is on the institutional front that it will have to deal with possible legal limits. The Supreme Court could intervene on some aspects of commercial policy, while the extensive use of executive orders raises questions about the solidity of reforms over the long term. “The problem of governing by decree is that what is built by day can be disassembled at night,” says William Galston of the Brookings Institution. “For Americans the priority remains the economy and inflation,” explains Galston. While voters who believed in the slogan of “America first” find themselves the president of the “Trump first”.
