Final result of the US presidential election has upset those forecasts, with former President Donald trump winning both the popular vote and the electoral college easily. Majority of the intellectual pundits’ analysts are now presenting different excuses of their wrong predictions and mostly have taken U turn. Unfortunately, if analysis is not based on ground realities it simply brings humiliation. How badly Harris has done that Trump ended with the largest popular vote margin of victory for any Republican candidate in 36 years setting new record. The Democrats who were certain of their success in coming election even failed to find a suitable candidate for presidency against strong Republican candidate Donald Trump and hurriedly nominated vice president Kamala Harris against him. There was no doubt about Donald Trump winning election 2024 due to his solid promises for Americans, his slogan “America first” touched the heart of people. Why our intellectuals and media analysts failed in their assessment because they were swayed away by the hype created by US electronic media in support of Kamala Harris, where as she was a weak candidate otherwise as compared to Donald Trump. Trumps popularity can be gauged from the fact that he has won election with 312 electoral votes as against Kamala Harris with only 226 electoral votes whereas to win elections 270 electoral votes are needed. His grand performance has not only given him thumbing majority for the presidency but has captured
Senate and Congress. People are stunned that how a controversial Trump swept the elections, no one was taking him seriously. But hats off to people of USA reposing confidence in Donald Trump. There was much talk about 7 swing states specially Arizona that voted Joe Biden in 2020 election voted Trump with 11 electoral votes and rest all voted to Trump. US being super power world is perplexed for two reasons President elect is unpredictable secondly is very tough on his opponents and going to give tough time to those who were working against him. Although his 10-point address was for Americans but it should be taken as advance warning from him for outside world. He is otherwise man of peace known to be slightly antiestablishment that doesn’t mean he shall ignore Pentagon advise but certainly give them tough time. They know his habits therefore they shall also exercise care and caution. He just wants to convey them that it is the President who take decisions. Although he has addressed Americans but it should be taken as warning by other countries also on freedom of speech as he doesn’t like restrictions on media.
Donald Trump shall take oath as 47 President of USA on 20 January 2025 but he can take all type of decisions in nominating his team in advance as per practice. By profession he is property tycoon is billionaire businessman faced hard times and many cases but managed to come clean. He is writer and has written more than 40 books. This time Trumps four-year tenure will be totally different from his previous rule because the world has changed. Trump doesn’t like war; he is anti-war President. His election slogan “save America” became voice of the nation and has been answered in his grand victory. He has already indicated that he will stop war in Ukraine that has taken a heavy toll of men and material, that would mean mending relations with Putin. The world has focused its eyes on Trump how he deals Gaza, where each day people of all ages are martyred, will he continue giving free hand to Israel to continue genocide of Palestinians or halt bombing. Notwithstanding, who rules USA their national policies and objectives remain the same. But people all over world expecting that he would end genocide of Palestinians. He is not only President of USA but being super power has influence throughout the world. Trump is likely to be tough on immigrants as has already forewarned them. People of US know him well he ruled them for 4 years so they are very clear. Trump behaves like Dictator. This time he will not be alone he has a shining star with him Elon Reeve Musk who is very close to him. How he deals Netanyahu Israel Prime Minister, will he be able to stop the war it is anybody’s guess. However, Trump will have to change his policy towards China and shall avoid confrontation. We have to wait till 20 Jan 2025 when he takes oath and addresses nation. World is anxiously waiting for his speech that would reveal his policies and intentions. Pakistani’s intellectuals are engaged in debate what Trump shall do with Pakistan. Pakistan has enjoyed historic relations with USA with little ups and down. Pakistan is no more so relevant as it was in the past on account of Afghanistan. His major concentration shall be towards China the emerging super power and the present situation where China Pakistan relations in view of China’s security concern and progress of CPEC projects shall least draw attention of Donald Trump. It is true he is friend of IK but unlikely to intervene, he may advise proper justice that’s all. Since he did not attend oath taking ceremony of Joe Biden there is likely hood that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris both shall skip Trumps oath taking ceremony. Let us hope year 2025 brings peace in the world and end of wars with promise to resolve outstanding issues of Kashmir and Palestine during his 4 years stay in White House.
