AS AMERICANS INVEST THEIR FAITH INDONALD TRUMP FORA SECOND TIME, INDIA AND THE WORLD BRACE THEMSELVES FOR WHAT THE 47TH PRESIDENT’S AMERICA-FIRST AGENDA WILL MEAN IN TERMS OF TRADE AND THE GEOPOLITICAL ORDER

IF GENIUS IS THE ABILITY to make the complex simple, then Donald Trump's historic comeback as the 47th President of the United States can only serve as the best example of that. At his victory speech in Florida, Trump outlined his agenda quite plainly, but effectively. "The core is common sense," he said. "We wanna have borders. We wanna have security. We wanna have things to be good and safe. We want a great education. We want a strong and powerful military and, ideally, we don't want to have to use it. I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars. We will make America safe, strong, prosperous, powerful and free again." At the end of his speech, he declared, "We make promises. We keep promises." Few political leaders have such a straightforward and uncomplicated world view, which seems to have struck a chord with the US electorate. They have voted him back with a handsome majority, ignoring the many felonies, including sexual abuse, various federal courts have charged him with.
