FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP HAS NOW survived at least two credible assassination attempts this election year. The latest, on Sept. 15 at one of his golf clubs in Florida, was not as close as the one that bloodied him at a Butler, Pa., campaign rally on July 13. But it was nonetheless a real and immediate threat-a fully loaded assault rifle allegedly held by Ryan Wesley Routh from 400 yards in search of the leader of the Republican Party, with the potential to upend American politics and history.
It was just the latest in a series of events unsettling the nation in a summer of disruption. Two weeks before the Butler attempt on Trump's life, President Joe Biden had triggered a crisis in the Democratic Party with his halting debate performance. A week after the attack, Biden dropped his bid for a second term, teeing up Vice President Kamala Harris' extraordinarily rapid consolidation of her party behind her and resetting the competition for the Oval Office. Over the next few weeks, the world learned details of two international plots to disrupt the election-one from Iran, which had set in motion operations to hack Trump's campaign and, separately, to take him out; another from Russia seeking to undermine faith in the vote.

The conflicts looming over 2025
WHEN DONALD TRUMP TOOK THE OATH OF OFFICE AS President in January 2017, his first foreign policy priority was to get tough on China. The Trump 2.0 Administration will continue that work. But when he strides back into the Oval Office in January 2025, Trump will also become responsible for U.S. management of two dangerous wars, the kinds of hot foreign policy crises he was fortunate to avoid during his first term.

OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE WITNESSED advances in AI that have captured our imaginations with unprecedented capabilities in language and ingenuity. And yet, as impressive as these developments have been, they're only the opening act.

It's a revolution that will fundamentally redefine how humans work, live, and connect with one another from this point forward.
