The first criminal of the Trump government is Trump himself – in the mathematics of the data – but there are more, from a person convicted of sexual abuse to a defender of war criminals. And, of course, with “crimes” of judgment, such as climate change or vaccine deniers. That is, hard, ignorant and violent extreme right.
It is as if the United States regained the character of its founders. Those criminals that Great Britain sent to colonies starting in the 17th century, who were later joined by criminals from other parts of Europe and excluded by several of those who had nothing to lose. That mark of origin of unscrupulous hustlers that many still proudly claim there, although they do not take law and order out of their mouths. From the mouth, alone. Donald Trump, winner of the November elections, returns to the White House for a second term full of resentment for having been ousted four years ago, and ready to deliver a major slap in the face to the entire democratic system. Now he has all the power. The two legislative chambers and the executive for the votes and justice for their maneuvers in the previous mandate. The appointments he advances are quite a provocation so that no one is fooled, even though so many do so eager to believe in what they do not see.
Donald Trump perfectly fills the role of the genuine American. His ancestors are German and Scottish emigrants who were equally divine people, although it cannot be said that he is an honest and principled man. Neither in his personal life, nor in his professional life as a businessman. His first political term was marked by sending his followers to storm the Capitol. In that trial he did not sit on the bench, but in others and he was convicted of 34 serious crimes. It would seem that in no democratic country could he be president again, but in the United States, yes. And their voters don’t care, or want to believe that it didn’t happen that way. Additionally, Trump prepared for the occasion by making dozens of judicial appointments, including three key ones to the Supreme Court. Every criminal with aspirations for power knows that he needs to control justice. It’s something we all know, right?
We can affirm – in the mathematics of the data – that the first criminal of the Trump government is Trump himself, but there are more, from a person convicted of sexual abuse to a defender of war criminals. And, of course, with “crimes” of judgment, such as climate change or vaccine deniers. That is, hard, ignorant and violent extreme right. Trump’s file has already been cleared in a few days, presidents enjoy immunity.
One of Trump’s main priorities will be the fight against immigration. There he places Stephen Miller and Tom Homan. The latter, called the Border Czar, has to his credit the separation of more than 5,000 families, detained upon arrival in the United States and is linked to an “anti-Muslim hate” group. Homan will be in charge of the large mass deportation of undocumented migrants that Trump has promised. In conjunction with Miller, a white supremacist who embraces the great replacement conspiracy theory. For National Security he puts a woman, one of the few, if not the only one. South Dakota Governor Kirsti Noem with no experience in immigration or national security. It has been harshly criticized and not because of its far-right ideology and the damage it usually causes. The problem was that she shot a 14-month-old dog she owned because she had a bad character and was not a good hunter, as she herself confesses in her memoirs.
Justice, the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies were the obstacles that Trump considers were toughest in his first term. Safe from her appointments to the Supreme Court that left her nickel-and-dimed.
In this second, it will solve it even better. Matt Graetz will be, in principle, attorney general of the State. Belonging to the most ultra wing of the Republican party, he has left his seat in Congress because the Ethics Committee was about to make public a devastating report on his sexual conduct, at least with a teenager. Now the report is simply archived. They are the United States. Just this week, Gaetz suggested abolishing the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which would report to him as attorney general, he says. The New York Times.
John Ratcliffe goes to the CIA. As then-director of the National Intelligence Agency, Ratcliffe published unverified information about Russia’s influence in the 2016 presidential election. He also helped Trump in the hoaxes against Hillary Clinton. Here he states that the United States should carry out joint attacks against Iran with Israel.
For Defense, he nominates Pete Hegseth, a weekend Fox News host who has no preparation to lead an armed force of two million soldiers, although he served in the US Army. Trump liked him for his defense of a war criminal. soldier convicted of the cold-blooded, unarmed murder of a teenager in Iraq in 2017.
“Covid-19 is designed to attack white people and black people. The most immune people are the Jews and the Chinese,” declared Robert F. Kennedy Jr., future Minister of Health, who in line with this thought is also anti-vaccine. Trump told him to “do whatever he wanted” with care. women’s health, and that he would let her “let off steam” with food and medicine. For Health it goes, of a population of almost 335 million people.
It will be up to Lee Zeldin, as Director of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to deregulate to remove obstacles to polluting products. Since Trump wants to “restore American energy dominance and revitalize our auto industry so that jobs return to the United States,” he declared.
Marco Rubio, son of Cuban migrants and senator from Florida, has been confirmed as Secretary of State: tough on China, against aid to Ukraine and pro-Israel. He considers that Hamas “is 100% to blame.”
Elise Stefanik, future US ambassador to the UN, is the one who was in charge of persecuting the pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the universities and for at least one rector accused of anti-Semitism to be expelled.
All charges portend strong support for Netanyahu’s Israel in its genocide of the Palestinians, even though Trump has promised to end the conflict. We will see how, we will surely see it… with horror. Those in Spain who said that the two candidates were equal were somewhat far from reality.
This is generally how many of Trump’s voters are seen. It makes your skin crawl to hear interviews where a Hispanic has voted for him thinking… “about inflation,” and he does not believe that his mother – without papers – will be affected by the promise of mass deportation. The beliefs that kill reality and the future.
In Dearborn, the Michigan city where about half the population is of Arab descent, Trump won by at least 2,500 more votes than Harris. And it wasn’t just a protest against the Democrats they used to vote for. “I think he’s a different person than he was in 2016 and 2020,” Bishara Bahbah, a Palestinian-American and founder of Arab Americans for Trump, told Israel’s Channel 12. “Now he wants an end to the war and lasting peace in the Middle East. And that’s what resonates with the American Arab and Muslim communities,” Bishara declares. It publishes the Washington Postwhen precisely Trump restarts the love affair with the Israeli extreme right.
JD Vance, the vice president, has already given his measure in the campaign, a small measure. What he does have is a great ability to radically change his jacket as he did with Donald Trump himself.
And, above several members of the new presidential team, stands out Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X and Tesla, the one who commands space rockets and maintains other businesses with the Administration. He has put his large network at the service of Trump, now so loaded with ultra and conspiracy theories, insults and misinformation, that there is a massive flight of relevant media and people. It is not the only network like this, new and European ones would be necessary. Musk, another son of immigrants, already has what he wanted. Trump will place him at the head of the new US Department of Government Efficiency alongside Republican Vivek Ramaswamy. They will “pave the way for my Administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, reduce overregulation, reduce wasteful spending, and restructure federal agencies – essential to the ‘Save America’ movement,” Trump said in a statement.
Here comes the chainsaw, which is going to leave millions of its voters naked who thought that this was not their thing. With an exorbitant, egocentric personality, similar to that of Trump himself, there is hardly any hope other than that the clash between the two will deflate the project somewhat. At the moment they are very happy, Musk even jumped at Trump’s rallies but disagreements due to rivalry cannot be ruled out.
This vengeful, radically far-right team is currently working for its business purposes with the United States as a platform. And in that programming that they prepare, it is a fundamental part of how they will fry other countries with tariffs and whatever they can, the Europeans in the lead. The trade war is served, with all that it entails.
The unthinkable has already happened, it opens in a big way in January. Millions of people around the world will see their leaders passing by following in the wake of that radical involution voted for by bipedal beings in the United States. And in others much closer to ours. Even the Spanish and European PP come close to that line, of course. The dark time of lies, abuses, and increasing imbalances unfolds. We will have to trust in a miracle, the kind that flesh and blood people operate.
