Trump's landslide victory in the Iowa primary has stunned the United States and the world. After losing to Biden in 2020, the former ** did not give up his political ambitions, but launched another assault on the White House. His supporters did not leave him, but embraced him more fervently, leaving him with few opponents in the Republican Party. Trump's return has made the political situation in the United States more complicated and tense, and has also made the leaders of some countries feel uneasy and afraid.
The Iowa primary is the first contest in the United States, and it is an important litmus test for candidates from all parties. Historically, the outcome of the Iowa primary has often been indicative of what the final course will be. Trump easily defeated all other Republican candidates in the primary with 51 percent support, including Florida Governor DeSantis, who is considered his strongest contender. DeSantis only got 212% approval rating, a difference of 30 percentage points from Trump. DeSantis announced his withdrawal from the race shortly after the primaries and expressed his support for Trump. Trump's victory has boosted his confidence and united his supporters. In his speech after the primaries, he said in a high-profile manner: "Let's take the country back." ”
Trump's return has intensified the political confrontation in the United States. Democrats are panicking at Trump's threat, fearing that Trump will once again use his loyal fans to unleash violence and insurrection to undermine American democracy. U.S. Deputy ** Harris said she was "scared to death" and thought that Trump might be in the White House again. Former Obama is also concerned about Trump's assertiveness, and he has met privately with the incumbent Biden on several occasions to urge him to step up his campaign and not underestimate Trump's strength. Biden himself is under pressure for Trump's return, acknowledging in a recent speech that Trump is "the toughest adversary he has ever faced."
Trump's return has also made the leaders of some countries feel uneasy and afraid. They fear that Trump will once again pursue an "America First" policy to the detriment of their interests and security. Japan** has begun to secretly reach out to Trump's team in an attempt to establish a good relationship with him so as not to repeat the mistakes of the Trump administration. Trump has demanded that Japan pay more for U.S. troops stationed in Japan, and has imposed high tariffs on Japanese cars and agricultural products, causing huge economic losses to Japan. Ukrainian Zelensky is also worried about Trump's return, and he is afraid that Trump will reach some kind of compromise with Russia's Putin at the expense of Ukraine's interests. Trump once said that he could solve Ukraine's problems within 24 hours, which Zelensky found "scary".
Trump's return also faces a major obstacle, and that is the decision of the US Supreme Court. Two states have disqualified Trump from running, accusing him of "involvement in the insurge," while another has dismissed the lawsuit. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear Trump's candidacy in February, which will determine Trump's political fate. Trump's candidacy is still very likely, because he has a conservative advantage in the Supreme Court, and he has appointed three ** officials.
In short, Trump's return is a reflection of American public opinion and a variable in American politics. If he does manage to win again, then the United States and the world will face a completely new situation, and countries such as the European Union, Ukraine and Japan will be uneasy and afraid.
