Trump it is
The Statesman|November 07, 2024
Donald Trump's return to the White House is a historic political comeback that is bound to leave an indelible mark on American and global affairs.

Winning a second, non-consecutive term – a feat last accomplished by Grover Cleveland in the 1890s – Mr. Trump has demonstrated a resilience that reshapes the landscape of US politics. His victory follows a divisive campaign that polarized American society on issues like immigration, economic inequality, and law enforcement.

Despite Mr. Trump's previous defeat and the controversies surrounding his presidency, his supporters returned in force, buoyed by discontent over high inflation, rising costs of living, and a perception of unchecked illegal immigration. His campaign's appeal to rural, lower-income, and Hispanic voters paid off, echoing widespread frustrations with current policies. For many voters, Mr. Trump offered the promise of economic stability and a return to what he called "American greatness," a sentiment that resonated in communities hardest hit by economic uncertainty.

Toxic Living~ II

While trucks and other heavy vehicles have been recognised as a major contributor to air pollution, in India, freight movement by rail has declined, giving way to a road-based freight system dominated by trucks.
