In a world torn apart and burning in flames, to add fuel to the fire, a pyromaniac president returns to the presidency of the most barbaric empire known so far, who will also have extensive control of Congress.
This gives Trump significant political and administrative leeway to implement all the programs and policies agitated in the election campaign, part of which he tried to implement in his first presidency (2017-2021), such as the persecution of migrants, or the escalation of his country’s military power. Now, as new promises, he is agitating for the purging and fiscal adjustment of a State that lives in debt, redirecting, according to his words, billions squandered on inefficient bureaucracy to sustain and strengthen the indispensable military apparatus, to impose its interests in today’s convulsive capitalist world. Building new generation atomic weapons, for tactical actions of limited impact, or consolidating his project of satellite colonization of space, with thousands of small satellites to spy in real time on any country or corner of the world, are part of the militarist agenda that his government will address, expanding his historical status as “the world’s policeman”.
The now re-elected president, merchant, businessman, speculator by profession, owner of a large fortune, also made by evading taxes and carrying out all kinds of trickery typical of the individualist and capitalist who does not see beyond his interests, returns to power as a result of a broad effort that began on the same day that, alleging that the elections had been stolen from him, he failed to forge the coup d’état to prevent Joe Biden from assuming the presidency in 2021.
Since then, 4 years have passed of discussions, research, preparation of drafts and final texts, of a program to be implemented in the following four-year period, whose first agenda, already fulfilled, was aimed at gringo society, segmenting its voters by State, cities, counties, age, origin, professions.
Work that bore fruit and tipped the balance of the vote in his favor, for which, in addition, he used a strategy that, on the one hand, promoted nationalism, as all politicians who want to arouse fanaticism and blind loyalties do, and on the other he identified the migrant as the enemy of the white gringo population. as the cause of the evils they suffer, including unemployment, therefore, in their target are migrants, people who must be persecuted, cornered, returned to their places of origin and prevented from continuing to enter illegally into the “freest country in the world”.
In the last four years he has been accompanied by think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation, all of which are committed to shielding the new ruler with theoretical and legal bases, to return the United States to the positions of privilege and honor that it enjoyed, at least, since the end of World War II, when the world was at its feet for being the first and by then only atomic power. According to those in charge of these think tanks, they already have more than 300 executive orders (or presidential decrees, as they are known in our country) to be applied from the very moment of their inauguration.
It was an action to disseminate ideas and positioning of the candidate, now president-elect, in which a billionaire like Elon Musk placed at his disposal X (formerly Twitter), his media conglomerate, to spread disinformation in bulk, in addition to processing data engineering, to accurately establish preferences and electoral dispositions of the American population. An intervention rewarded with his appointment as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, a new instance to carry out the financial purging of the government apparatus, whose first draconian experience has been launched in Argentina under the command of the fanatical Javier Milei, both are similar even in the “hairstyle”.
Reality is stubborn, with this type of alliances, campaign and program, the so-called “largest democracy in the world” has been reduced to a plutocracy, militaristic and warmongering. This type of political regime allows the richest not to delegate to politicians and rulers the design and execution of economic measures, so that their businesses operate at full steam; thus, in the midst of the ongoing global crisis that capitalism is registering, and the market dispute between powers and multinationals, they themselves put themselves in charge of the State, their State, appropriate it in its entirety and submit it without hesitation to their interests. It is the “democracy” of the richest, in which all the liberal argument ends up in the dustbin of history.
Trump has as advisors and programmatic support, institutions blind to the multiple crises that global society is experiencing, among which climate change, the prolonged financial crisis, among others, stand out, and for which millions of people suffer hunger, unemployment, devastating wars. Deepening oil exploitation, closing the borders of the United States, deepening the protectionism of its economy by raising tariffs in an announced trade war, especially with countries such as China, are part of the measures elaborated by these think tanks and recommended to the re-elected president.
Once his electoral triumph was known, without taking a break, Trump began the appointment of his main officials and companions, all of them with a broad retrograde profile, convinced of the military power of their country, an indispensable power to use, if necessary, to preserve his world primacy.
They are warmongers and fanatics of the all-embracing power of the United States, so Marco Rubio is appointed as Secretary of State. A congressman with a long career, the son of a family that migrated from Cuba before 1959 and that incorporated a hatred against the country of his parents, a nation against which he does not spare management or intrigues to prolong and tighten the blockade that for decades has been applied to him, and with which they have led to the derangement of his economy and infrastructure. It is a hatred extended to other countries and political regimes such as China, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Iran, countries all elevated to supreme enemies of the United States, a new axis of evil and that will surely be in the fanatical eye of his future administration.
Just as it has enemy countries and to confront at all costs, it also has friendly countries, among which Israel stands out, a country whose army has been carrying out an unconcealable genocide against the Palestinian people for more than a year, violating, before the complicit eyes of the main centers of power, all kinds of rights of hundreds of thousands of defenseless citizens subjected to indiscriminate bombings and special military operations.
It is this vision of the world, divided in an elementary and Manichean way between good and bad countries, which from the third week of January 2025 will be at the forefront of the diplomacy of the US empire, without a doubt, a burden for the world and for our continent.
As we can all remember, our continent has been considered the backyard of the United States, that is, its zone of influence par excellence or rearguard territory, from which we can deduce the historical sign of being at the mercy of its conspiracies and maneuvers of all kinds, to prevent us from living in full sovereignty and having life projects of solidarity.
It is in this “backyard” that the United States, as an empire, is obliged to maneuver to prevent being cornered in its own territory, by the powers that today dispute its financial, commercial, geopolitical and all kinds of privileges and advantages, derived from the world order that emerged in 1945 and still reigns today, an order designed according to its needs for control and global domination. the same ones that are now in dispute due to the emergence of alliances of countries, which strive to make an increasingly strong multilateralism a reality.
A reality that reminds us, as rebels that we are, that the real and definitive independence of our countries is about to be forged, a challenge to continue undertaking, now with greater zeal knowing that our main international enemy is going through multiple and thick crises and, no matter how many difficulties it has, it will not fall alone, the unity of peoples and nations is required. so that with their struggle they guarantee their defeat and thus a new world can be born.
