We had dug his political grave. He planted his flag there. We swore that he would never come back. One summer evening, a shooter would put an end to the saga. Justice had to complete it. He was, it was said, crazy, dangerous, vain. He would trample the Constitution, would plunge America into chaos. We know the rest: in November 2024, these oracles collapsed. Trump returned, Triumphant, carried by the loyalty of his base and by a weary of Democratic preaching.
Ten years almost to the day after his entry into politics, the former real estate magnate has become a head of state who governs as he headed his business: quickly, strong, by imposing his rules. A hybrid. The instinct of the deal and the brutality of the arena. Building on the experience of his first mandate, experienced by four years of sidelining power, between his retirement from Mar-A-Lago and the repeated trials, Trump does not replay the past. Its methods are now sharp. And its promises never stay in the drawers of the Desk resolute.
Trumpian America stands standing
In seven months, he locked the southern border, daring with long deferred economic reforms, put in step the WOKE ideology in administrations and school, replaced America at the center of the world game. His opponents denounce his authoritarianism, his tariff obsession, his diplomatic chin strokes. His supporters see the mark of a president who refuses half-measures. Let us judge by the results! Everything is not perfect, but many in the West, and especially in Europe, would be satisfied with it. In reverse of the prophecies of misfortune, Trumpian America stands standing. Head high.
