Donald Trump

History’s unheeded rhymes

Everyone seems to have something to say about the allegedly “historic” election of Donald Trump. Well… it IS historic, in the sense that it’s only the second time in the country’s history that a president has been elected to two nonconsecutive terms in office.

Will Xi play ball with Trump on Ukraine?

US president-elect Donald Trump has invited China’s president Xi Jinping to his inauguration on January 20 in a surprise move which appears to be part of a plan to involve Beijing in ceasefire negotiations in Ukraine.

A time when truth does not matter

Most people agree that actual facts matter in such activities as debate, discussion and reporting. Once facts are gathered, verified and distributed, informed decision-making can proceed in such important exercises as voting.

Washington may well change for the better

Donald Trump will assume the American presidency on 20 January 2025. Biden’s tenure was impacted by his age and slowing mental abilities, thereby opening doors for the deep state, largely composed of individuals who were part of the Obama administration, to push decisions.

US Elections: An analysis

The victorious Trump camp is touting its newfound “historic” mandate while the dejected Harris camp accuses the country of being “racist and sexist” for letting them down. Both are untrue. Trump won with 295 electoral votes to Harris’ 226. A solid victory, but hardly a landslide.
