Summary
Donald Trump’s re-election has generated strong reactions globally, with allies and adversaries alike preparing for potential shifts in U.S. foreign policy.
European leaders, though cautious, offered congratulations, with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte emphasizing cooperation despite past tensions over defense spending.
In the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed Trump’s win, while regional actors like Hamas and Egypt await Trump’s approach to ongoing conflicts.
China, wary of escalating tensions, expressed a desire for “mutual respect” but anticipates challenges.
Neighboring nations, including Mexico and Canada, brace for potential policy impacts, recalling Trump’s previous protectionist measures.
JD Vance is definitely worse that this guy since he’s coherent
That’s the real danger in my opinion. Trump is probably a malignant narcissist. Everything he does, he does for himself and his very thin skinned ego. This is sort of balanced out but he fact that he’s a moron and is easily manipulated. But, there are people right on his coat tails who are straight up malevolent and do things because they enjoy watching others suffer.
As bad as Trump is, it may get much worse after he’s gone and leaves a crater sized power vacuum in the GOP.
Maybe Vance can’t dream and scheme quite as big since he hasn’t lived the billionaire lifestyle and been in those circles for decades.
