A people are responsible for the destinies of their country. Americans, those who voted and even those who did not vote for Donald Trump, therefore have the democratic responsibility for deciding the destiny of the United States.
They will be able to do so in the mid-term elections in November, in which, with their vote, they will choose the 435 deputies of the Chamber of Deputies and the 100 senators who will form the Senate.
With their choice, they will decide which of the parties (Democrats or Republicans) will have a majority in both chambers. Trump’s Republican Party currently has a comfortable majority in the Senate and a marginal majority in the House of Representatives.
This is the first opportunity for Americans to draw political strength from a president who has been erratic, unformed, unpredictable in American politics and who is unleashing chaos on the world. If the Republican Party loses its majority in both chambers, this could be fatal for Trump.
There is currently a fracture in the North American government expressed in the stance of removal from Vice President JD Vance, who does not agree with the foreign policy practiced by Trump, unlike Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has defended a strong presence of the United States in the world.
Over the past few months, the most populist faction of the MAGA movement (Make America Great Again) has registered dissent that has weakened Donald Trump.
If the Republican party loses its majority in both chambers in November’s midterm elections, things will get dark for Trump.
Trump will be mired in inquiries into the controversial decisions he made that will occupy him, leaving him little will to govern.
It is quite possible that after losing the majority in the next midterm elections, the hidden part of the Epstein files will finally emerge into the light of day, revealing everyone involved and the names of the most powerful figures who in some way had contact with Jeffrey Epstein.
The result of the midterm elections will also be decisive in United States foreign policy.
If we look at the results of Trump’s imperialist fever, everything squeezed out is very little. We know the current consequences of the intervention in Iran, which is unleashing economic and financial chaos on the world through the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
There is no absolute certainty, but it is almost inconceivable that the Pentagon did not warn Trump of the likelihood of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz if it were attacked. There appears to have been no planning and responsible risk analysis on the part of Trump and his closest supporters in an attack on Iran. On the day I write this column, Trump’s usual distorted narrative began with his statement of the suspension of attacks on Iran for five days and the presentation of almost irreconcilable proposals from the two parties. We’ll see!!!
So, in other geographies, we already know the result of the North American president’s erratic attacks.
The attempt to occupy Greenland provoked a strong reaction from its inhabitants and Denmark. So everything is as before, barracks in Abrantes…
In Venezuela, Trump removed Maduro, but Chavismo remains in good health with President Delcy Rodríguez managing a transition whose contours are, for now, not known. There are still political prisoners, the regime has not democratized and the only consequence has been the entry of new oil companies (always oil) into the country.
From Canada and all of Trump’s talk about this country, Prime Minister Mark Carney, in Davos, at the World Economic Forum, quite vigorously reaffirmed Canada’s sovereignty and political identity.
Now, more recently, we have Cuba on the Trumpist agenda. Trump said he “will have the honor of taking Cuba in some way.” It hasn’t done so yet, but the country is already in the dark due to Trump’s imposition of preventing Venezuela from sending oil to Havana.
We do not agree with the dictatorial regimes in Venezuela, Iran and Cuba, but Trump was completely ineffective in trying to overthrow these dictatorships.
Trump is an incompetent president. The midterm elections are a first opportunity to send him back to Trump Tower from where he should never have left, for the peace of mind of the United States and the world.
