Trump's inauguration signals potential shift in U.S. politics and global order
Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th U.S. president marks a significant shift in American politics, driven by public dissatisfaction with inflation and immigration. Many voters, unfamiliar with high inflation, chose change over incumbents, regardless of their views on Trump.
Trump's return is expected to impact both U.S. democracy and global relations. His previous term showed a reluctance to embrace traditional American leadership, focusing instead on winning rather than leading.
The concept of Pax Americana, which has shaped global order since 1945, may be challenged. This era emphasized U.S. leadership in promoting democracy, free markets, and international alliances, which could be affected by Trump's policies.
