Can Trump be the New Reagan?>
Eight years ago, at a post-election breakfast party we threw in POLITICO’s Brussels offices, I watched Donald Trump claim victory in a presidential election for the first time with shell-shocked European legislators and policymakers.
The reaction in global capitals this Wednesday morning was very different. Anxiety in many, jubilation in some. But not shock. The world has experience with Trump in office. These same people from the Brussels party in 2016 have spent months preparing for a possible restoration.
Interesting point of view, an article worth reading. I have no doubt that Trump’s and the GOP’s domestic policies are going to be extreme, horrific and authoritarian. But what will his stance be at the World stage? Will he oppose Rusia and China or will he try to be pals with Putin and Xi? Will he be able to receive advice or will he just do as he pleases, relying only in his impulses?
