Trump's reelection was received with the enthusiasm of conservatives not only American, who uncritically praise to the heavens all fresh Trump order.
As a Conservative, I decided to effort to objectify the achievements of the fresh old US president by analyzing his affirmative and negative advantages, as the classical of Gdańsk utilized to do with the EU.
The oldest information on Trump that I've been able to extract from memory corners is 1 of the negative ones. Namely, I have a memory that he had problem paying the wages of our countrymen employed at any construction site. possibly he had temporary liquidity problems. I don't know. Another interesting thing about Trump was that in the 2016 presidential election Hilary Clinton beat Hilary Clinton despite Clinton's overall gaining 3 million more votes than Trump. It's specified a specificity of American elections, but in this case I don't want to classify whether this number triumph is simply a affirmative or a negative advantage. Let's keep going.
Trump and his supporters were completely unprepared for the 2020 presidential election run erstwhile they were allowed to play the Democrats with tricks to let polls of voters without identifying documents, and in the mailing vote mass transportation of pro-democracy votes to mailboxes, by the “ankieters” active by the Democrats. I'd call that negligence the positives of Trump. On the another hand, Trump's ability to last in good intellectual condition throughout Biden's presidency period, with the engagement of the prosecutors, the FBI and the CIA and another government agencies against Trump, and his resilience to attempts to bring him to justice in 5 civilian and criminal cases in which prosecutors Jack Smith and Fani Willis hoped to get a conviction condemning Trump to prison. Trump confirmed he's a real tough guy, which is positive.
An overwhelming triumph in the 2024 election over the preferred corporate media and in polls competitor Kamala Harris, allows me to grant Trump a affirmative plus. Trump's regulations and executive directives specified as leaving the WHO and withdrawing the US from the Paris Agreement, which is simply a climate muzzle limiting entrepreneurship, subjugating the president of DeepState agencies, or limiting the functioning of the USAID, which is the Pentagon's tool, are only a tiny part of the ordinances allowing him to delegate a number of affirmative advantages. Bravo. Its thought of transferring the threat of kinetic wars to an area little dangerous to mankind is important. Plus positive.
Trump's weakness is to base many economical decisions on the criterion of greed, of which Trump is an overt vault. This criterion for Trump's decisions on sanctions and duties may not be effective in exerting force on Russia and China, which apply completely different criteria in political decisions. In particular, China, where the combination of the dominant doctrine of Confucianism and the pragmatism of the communist party's economy brings astonishing developmental effects. Trump's greed and desire to take over Gaza's territory – plus negative. Among Trump's critics was Emanuel Pastreich, an independent candidate for president of the United States in 2020, who stated: "The Trump government engages in unprecedented takeover of the national government with information, bribes and forces, and secretly links the North Command of the United States, the FBI, ICE and intelligence agencies into 1 powerful tool of oppression." Time will tell if Emanuel Pastreich was right or wrong. We'll wait, we'll see!
