Trump triumphs again: a return to his political roots

With a speech that evoked his days in the White House, Trump managed to capture the attention of an electoral base yearning for the restoration of policies that prioritize American interests. His strategy focused on promoting economic nationalism aimed at revitalizing domestic industry and reducing reliance on external sources. The promise of high tariffs and regulatory rollbacks has resonated with those who feel the global economy has stripped American workers of their opportunities.

First conciliatory speech

Accompanied by his family and campaign executives, the former president stated from Palm Beach that he will govern for all and that "together" they will make a better United States.

"Success will unite us, and we will start by putting America first. I will not disappoint you," he said during a speech lasting less than half an hour at the Palm Beach convention center (on Florida's east coast).

The former Republican president thanked each of his family members and Americans in a statement that had a largely conciliatory tone and invited them to "set aside the divisions of recent years."

Trump celebrated his strong results in key states like North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and took pride in having regained the majority in the Senate for Republicans, while control of the House of Representatives remains uncertain.

Trump captures the popular vote

The Republican has also won the popular vote (over 71 million votes compared to Harris' 66, according to preliminary counting data), something Republicans had not achieved in 20 years, since the 2004 elections in which Republican George W. Bush secured 59 million votes against Democrat John Kerry's 55.4 million.

In the 2016 elections, Trump arrived at the White House after winning the electoral vote (306 votes), but in the popular vote he fell almost three million short (63 against 65.8 million) of his rival at the time, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The billionaire's victory has been met with gains in stock markets around the world, while most political leaders have congratulated Trump and hoped his administration prioritizes international cooperation.

The economy at the center of the discourse

Trump has promised an economic recovery focused on job creation, supported by his energy independence plan that includes promoting the use of natural resources. His focus on reducing inflation is based on controlling government spending and limiting national debt, while deregulation aims to incentivize investment and lower costs for businesses. The fiscal agenda also includes permanent tax cuts and simplifying the tax code, aiming to empower American workers and business owners.

A shift towards aggressive foreign policy

Trump's foreign policy will focus on "Peace through Strength," restoring the United States' status as a global military power. With a strong emphasis on modernizing the armed forces and strengthening international alliances, Trump seeks to counter the influence of countries like China and maintain stability in strategic regions like the Middle East and Indo-Pacific. His plan includes investments in advanced military technology, ensuring national defense aligns with economic interests.

Firmness on gun laws and opposition to new restrictions

With a firm commitment to the Second Amendment, Trump and the Republican Party oppose restrictions on gun ownership. Instead, they advocate for enforcing existing laws, promoting a culture of responsibility and safety in gun usage. His stance aims to protect citizens' constitutional rights while focusing on individual responsibility.

Health sector reforms: competition and consumer choice

In the realm of healthcare, Trump aims to reduce costs by promoting competition in the private sector and empowering consumers. He opposes government health programs, advocating for a market-driven approach. Furthermore, his administration will focus on veterans' healthcare, ensuring they receive the care they deserve.

A pro-life approach in the abortion debate

Under Trump’s administration, a strong focus is expected on pro-life policies, supporting states to regulate abortion, especially concerning late-term abortions. The overturning of Roe v. Wade has been hailed by Trump as a triumph, and his approach will focus on promoting prenatal care and access to fertility treatments while maintaining a commitment to states' rights to decide.

Education as a priority: a return to fundamentals

Trump has indicated that his administration will focus on reforming the education system, discarding ideologies he views as harmful and returning to fundamental subjects. His plan includes returning educational control to the states, closing the Department of Education, and supporting a patriotic education that highlights the foundational principles of the United States. Additionally, he is committed to improving school safety and maintaining stricter standards for student behavior.

Immigration: a focus on border security

The Republican candidate has renewed his promise to "seal the border," planning a strong enforcement of immigration laws and continuing the construction of the border wall. His agenda focuses on reducing illegal immigration and ensuring that American workers are protected from unfair competition. Trump has also expressed his intention to take strong action against drug cartels and human trafficking.

LGBT+ rights: a conservative approach to gender identity

Trump has made it clear that his administration will seek to reverse regulations that support gender identity, protecting women in sports and opposing public funding for sex change surgeries. This stance resonates with a significant part of his base, which views "gender indoctrination" in schools as an issue that needs addressing.

A new chapter in U.S. history

Donald Trump's victory represents a return to a political approach that prioritizes national sovereignty, economic growth, and strong social conservatism. With his administration, the United States is preparing for a new chapter where independence, security, and the restoration of traditional values are at the core of its policy. The White House, under his leadership, promises to be a battleground for opposing visions of the nation's future, with Trump ready to leave his mark on American political history once again.
