Trump's total victory

US citizens participating in the presidential election have pushed the political agenda towards domestic priorities. Although Europeans have been looking at these elections as one that will have massive implications on our own affairs, Europe's concerns are clearly not the main issues for the American voters, and?we need to brace for a period when the US redefines its role and strategies in global politics and economics.
Donald Trump's return to the White House and a Republican majority in both the House of Representatives and Senate spell danger not only for domestic American politics but also for its ripple effects in the EU.?Trump's victory may further embolden and empower far-right movements within Europe and worldwide. The general anti-populist language that has dominated the mainstream discourse in the past decade has failed to contain and roll back these trends, and progressive forces – in both North America and Europe – will need a better strategy with a clearer economic and social focus.
Apparently, half of the US electorate does not mind voting for a person and a leadership style that most in continental Europe would consider not just extravagant but extreme.?People wonder how strong the foundations of US democracy are and whether Washington would still be able to play a leading role in democratic developments worldwide.?A transatlantic dialogue on such matters would be critically important.?
The first Trump presidency unleashed various forms of economic warfare against Europe and there is today a high risk of descending into such precarious relations again.?For Europe, there should be no ambiguity about the importance of multilateralism as a general framework for international trade and investment relations, and maintaining a good spirit of economic cooperation in the transatlantic space.
An anxious and abandoned electorate delivered a landslide victory to Donald Trump. In the most polarised election in modern history, decisive numbers of Democrats stayed home. Decades into trying to be the party of both Wall Street and working families, Democrats will have to fight their way back to relevance by making a choice between them.

US working-class voters have sent a clear message to Democrats. Running as a centrist and governing as a leftist is not acceptable. Will Democrats listen and learn?

When I woke up on 6 November, my phone was flooded with texts from family in Europe. Shock, fear, anxiety, dread – it was all reflected in the questions on my screen. What will happen to you? Will you be okay? And what does this mean for us, here in Europe? Though it is difficult to answer the last question with certainty, given that uncertainty is Trump’s hallmark regarding foreign policy, one thing is certain: Europe should brace for impact.
