Overstated risks of Trump 2.0

When all is said and done, Trump will fulfil a diluted version of his ambitious campaign promises.

Donald Trump is set to return to the White House on January 20, even as Americans principally and the world in general wait with bated breath if he succeeds in fulfilling all his campaign promises. The issues he ran on in a divided nation along ideological lines run the gamut from taxes and tariffs to deportation and deregulation. Americans have given him—or the Republicans—an “unprecedented and powerful mandate.” Not only did they win the presidency but also the Senate and the House of Representatives. It is impossible to fulfil every promise a politician makes, but if Trump manages to deliver on the major ones he made, there will be repercussions for the United States and the world.
