As an undeniable supporter of Trump for the U.S. Presidency since 2014, I have witnessed his struggle against the establishment for ten years. He won his 45th U.S. Presidency, lost his second-term bid, and came back and won the 2024 election. The author sensed that the 47th U.S. Presidency would not be a Trump 2.0 but X.0 where x (x = 1 to n) signifies a rapid revolution like a popular App racing to conquer the world market. Writing this article before Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, the author is excited to say congratulations to the President and all the best for Mr. Trump, for Americans, for MAGA and MAWGA (*Make All World Great Again, an inclusive and coercive program was explained in his earlier articles in this column.). Trump’s success and MAGA’s success hinge on the concept that the United States is not just selfishly reinvigorating for itself but for America, the entire world, and all mankind. The U.S. welcomes partners to work together.
Starting in 2025, Trump will have the chance to succeed by stopping the hot wars in Ukraine- Russia and in the Middle East, the Israel-Hamas war, as well as pause the Cold War to keep the world in peace with no extra military burden on U.S., USSR, and China’s Defense budgets. The world can focus on world infrastructure and economic development under peace. The money savings will be greater for the U.S. than for Russia, China, or any other nation. The U.S. can compete at a better and fairer footing on MAGA Plans and is in a better position to lead MAWGA programs to help other under-developed nations improve their economies, contributing to world prosperity.
Using the 21st-century language, put your e-goggle on to experience a never-happened-before U.S. presidency transition. This transition will unfold rapidly before your eyes. No, it isn’t a Hollywood TV show featuring Donald Trump recapturing his halo from the Apprentice TV series (2004-2017) or his theatrical 45th U.S. Presidency (2016-2020), but it is a live cast of the procession of his 47th U.S. Presidency with the new cabinet members being nominated one by one. This production can never be directed by anyone else but Donald Trump himself, who has served a dramatic term in the White House (2017-2021), lost his rebid, haunted by the political deep states and justice machinery but came back to win the 47th U.S. Presidency, charged by the MAGA movement to re-occupy the White House to become the commander-in-chief of the United of States.
Trump is an intelligent and life-enriched tough American blessed with many successes and failures and valuable experiences throughout his American life. He was not a politician baked by the American establishment system. He entered politics as a dark horse with a strong will to challenge the establishment despite the tremendous pressure from the deep-state machinery and well-established American mass media oligarchy. Trump’s 2016 win was a surprise to the establishment, and he served on his belief and will without compromising or yielding to the legacy establishment power. He was able to steer the GOP to support his vision, but he was facing an all-out fight from the Democrats. In his first term, he started with an inexperienced, disorganized team, but he was decisive in firing his White House staff and cabinet members, he learned fast on the job, including complicated international relations, defense affairs, and trade intricacies. He might have made many enemies, but he earned his respect from them.
Trump lost his 2020 presidential bid under a complicated world environment, the COVID pandemic drove the world to recession and even panic which created a sentiment to find a culprit. The media caused the Americans to blame China with no justification. Democrats selected Biden to challenge Trump, taking a tougher stand against China and Russia with promises to build military alliances. Biden narrowly won the election, and his four years doubled down on trade wars, technology sanctions, and decoupling of supply chains with China, forcing her to invest more to become more independent in its manufacturing power. The comeback of the MAGA movement was inevitable. Trump, with his perseverance, led a hard four-year campaign to win the 2024 election. The significance of Trump’s victory is not just a personal triumph but a mandate for Trump to make good on MAGA. MAGA is a giant order; it cannot be accomplished with one presidency, it requires a broader notion of MAWGA, requiring a cooperative effort not only from all Americans but all people around the world. The U.S. must take the initiative to start the MAGA and MAWGA strategic plans together and lead the world to accomplish them.
Trump has a broad and grand view of the world, but he is also a realist who understands what is negotiable, tradeable, and accomplishable. He has a tall and a long-range MAGA order to fill. He must be very strategic in setting up long-lasting strategic policies not only to carry momentum in his term but also to continue to future presidencies, and he also has to be tactical in soliciting and motivating domestic and international partners. If he succeeds, he will be the greatest American president in history, and America will be great again, and all the world will be great again. A few signs are showing that Trump is on the right track thus far. He raised the stick of tariffs before entering the White House by threatening not only China but also Canada and Mexico; he is sending signals to everyone that he is strictly business-minded, not personal nor ideological. So, everyone shall begin to do their calculation and get ready for Trump's negotiation. Trump is a great negotiator; he will negotiate to win for MAGA. However, the support for MAGA may change domestically or internationally. The Canadians, after being threatened by the U.S. tariffs, have already had second thoughts on MAGA. That's why the U.S. must start the MAGA and MAWGA plans together.
Trump was correct about the problem with the large government that generates bureaucracy, waste, and inefficiency. He created the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to show his resolve and to send a clear message to Americans that the Trump Administration will mean business in budget control and waste cutting. In his previous term, he warned the Boeing company about its future and criticized the waste in U.S. defense contractors. Trump was not versed in technology, but He learned from the case of Meng Wenzhou of Huawei company (a world communication tech giant) being arrested by the Canadian Customs Office in Vancouver in 2018 and also witnessed the mess Biden created in the semiconductor supply chain, both hurting the U.S. in the end. Trump has not yet revealed any semiconductor plan that his Administration will do, but keeping Elon Musk on his close side will get more sensible advice to guide his technology strategy beneficial to MAGA and MAWGA.
Yes, Trump can be impulsive, but his rational mind eventually rules. So the next four years can be expected as Trump X.0. Now, as the president, Trump is freed from the burden of all the legal cases against him. He is mentally more relaxed, and he can focus on his strategies with Trump x.0. A couple of cabinet nomination cases that went sour are not significant. So long he can hold his MAGA flag and MAWGA umbrella firm focusing on strategies to find partners to work with, President Trump, in his second term, can set the right policies in place to make sure they will carry the MAGA/MAWGA momentum to future presidencies. The author just noticed recent news about Trump's unprecedented invitation to China’s President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration ceremony. This is Trump's other message to the world, he and Xi will be on good terms for accomplishing MAGA and MAWGA purposes. A good and smart gesture will always bring a warm gesture in response!
