Trump poses the greatest threat to his own country, journalists believe.
After Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election, we should prepare for extremely difficult times.
The New York Times writes about this.
“Over the next four years, Americans must be acutely aware of the threat to the nation and its laws that the 47th president poses, and be prepared to use their rights to defend the country, the people, the laws, the institutions, and the values that make it strong,” the journalists write.
It cannot be ignored, the NYT notes, that millions of Americans voted for a candidate that even some of his closest admirers admit is deeply flawed. Some cast their ballots out of deep dissatisfaction with the status quo, with politics, or with the state of American institutions more broadly.
“All Americans should now be wary of a new Trump administration that will likely make its top priority accumulating unchecked power and punishing its imaginary enemies — both of which Trump has repeatedly promised to do,” the newspaper reminds.
There can be no illusions about who Donald Trump is and how he intends to govern the country, the newspaper believes. He has already demonstrated during his first term and in the years since leaving office that he has no respect for the law, let alone the values, norms, and traditions of democracy. As head of the most powerful country in the world, he is clearly guided only by the desire for power and the preservation of the personality cult he has built around himself.
As the NYT notes, the most important responsibility lies with all those who will serve in the second Trump administration. It is possible to resist Trump, and this is the duty of every American civil servant, if appropriate, the publication believes.
Recall that immediately after his re-election as president, Donald Trump said that he would stop wars in the world. During the election campaign, he repeatedly promised that he would stop the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.
Many in Ukraine are worried precisely because the United States will force Kiev to sign an agreement on unfavorable terms for the new president. Military aid can become an instrument of pressure not only on Ukraine, but also on Russia, in order to convince both sides to start negotiations, analysts believe.
Meanwhile, the situation on the front is becoming increasingly difficult for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Russian troops continue to advance in Donbas. According to DeepState project analysts, they captured about 500 km in the last month alone – this is the biggest breakthrough since 2023.
