Sangbad Voice 9, International Desk: Donald
Trump’s second term as President of the United States commences on Monday. This
event marks a significant moment in American history, ushering in a new chapter
that moves beyond the post-World War II global order established by the United
States and its allies. For supporters on the right, this moment embodies hope
for a nation they believe has shifted too far to the left.
Conversely, for many others, it signals the
onset of a troubling era characterized by nativism, insularity, and a harshness
that may further marginalize vulnerable populations. Trump has pledged to take
decisive actions, including securing the southern border, granting pardons to
those involved in the January 6 events, ending foreign military engagements,
reducing taxes, prohibiting transgender women from competing in girls’ sports,
dismantling the Education Department, removing "woke" military
leaders, and imposing significant tariffs.
Additionally, he aims to roll back
regulations, enforce the death penalty for certain migrant offenses, reassess
vaccine usage, eliminate wind energy, and withdraw financial incentives for
electric vehicle purchases. These commitments, among others, will serve as key
indicators for how history evaluates Mr. Trump at the conclusion of his second
presidential term.
