Speedy Biden and unforgettable Trump

As the 46th president of the United States, Biden revoked several of Trump's policies on his first day in office in addition to signing a decree making the wearing of masks compulsory in and around federal buildings due to the coronavirus. He also signed decrees directed at reincluding the U.S. in the Paris Climate Agreement and rejoining the World Health Organization (WHO), Daily Sabah writes in the article Biden's speedy start and the future of Trumpism.

In addition, his lifting of the executive order prohibiting entry into the U.S. from some Muslim countries was welcomed by Muslim community leaders in the United States. It may look like the new president will deal with internal issues but let us not forget what he said in a speech at a university in New York in 2019. "For me, foreign policy is domestic policy, and domestic policy is foreign policy. That is, these policies are deeply connected with each other," Biden said, indicating that America's internal security is directly dependent on "having a network of partners and allies who work together and are as strong as possible." Yes, Biden has started in a speedy fashion and his biggest advantage is that he has received extraordinary support from both the public and the media. That is to say, he's already got the momentum. 

Is Trumpism over?

After he stated that he would hit the road to make America great again, everybody realized that Trump would not quit politics. With nearly 74 million people behind him, Trump is unlikely to be wiped from the political map. "Trumpism" will not end. On the contrary, he will ambitiously prepare for 2024. However, there are many Republicans who will not vote for Trump again. Neither the media nor the American public will provide Trump a platform to speak going forward, and he has been banned indefinitely from social media.

Trump has already declared that he and his voters will not be silenced and that they will reconvene via a new platform. In his farewell ceremony on Jan. 20, he mentioned a new movement, and it is worth remembering that he also said that it is a new beginning.

I predict that Trump will completely break ties with the Republican Party but that the Republicans will not vote against Trump during the impeachment process in the U.S. Senate. In brief, while there will not be a definite conclusion in the Senate regarding his impeachment, it is likely that Trump will have to deal with both federal and state courts going forward.

The bottom line is: Both Trump's rise to the White House and his departure were chaotic. In four years, we will have a clearer picture of the attitude of Republicans plan to take toward Trump, the steps Trump will execute and the performance of the Biden administration. We should underline that Trump left Washington having lost a substantial amount of credit both in the U.S. and in the world. We will be discussing Trump and Trumpism for a long time.
