US President Donald Trump is an American businessman and politician affiliated with the Republican Party. He served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021 and was re-elected as the 47th president after winning the November 2024 election.
His first term was defined by a trade war with China, tense exchanges with North Korea, and his controversial push to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to curb immigration.
At the start of his second term, Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico, straining relations with America’s closest neighbors despite the NAFTA and USMCA trade agreements. He also stirred controversy with his remarks about Panama’s control of its canal and his reported interest in purchasing Greenland from Denmark—a proposal widely dismissed by Danish officials.
Trump became the first U.S. president to be impeached twice and one of the few to lose a re-election bid before staging a political comeback. He began his career in the family real estate business, later becoming a real estate tycoon and reality TV host before entering politics in 2016. His presidency and post-presidency have been clouded by legal troubles, including multiple felony charges and civil cases. The most infamous controversy remains his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters as Congress was certifying Joe Biden’s victory. In 2024, Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally while he was campaigning for presidency.
Republicans (not Trump) have won this election and made Trump the president. It was a spirited campaign by all the Republican candidates including Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramasamy et al, and eventually ALL of them rallied behind Trump.
There was no effective campaign by Biden till Kamala Harris was identified (not elected).
A team effort will always give better results than a solo performance.
It is very difficult to change people, so we must change people itself. Modi won continuously because he can beat the same RaGa as many times as he wants. Simple!
A diplomatically and milatarily stronger India, globally more influential? Really? This falsehood is what SG has been spoonfeeding to his readers since the last decade. Modi has scraped a win in 2024 only because his cash-loaded party was able to mobilise all the state machinery and media to his advantage. And they have managed to retain Haryana amd might retain Maharashtra too, because a status quoism has now set into the minds that the BJP cannot be dislodged.
The article missed the point by a mile.
People elect those leaders who deliver for them or feel they will deliver for the, Modi was against a united Opposition – India had never seen such a united opposition ever. Still he won.
Trump delivered growth during his previous presidency. Biden and Harris were always on the sideline during Covid and post covid. 6+ Million Americans lost their lives in Covid. Millions of Small business shut down. After that there was a period of inflation Americans had never seen.
Anyone who thought Democrats would win again is a fool. Harris was great in her debate with Trump , and it gave her a short bump but Democrats a party was never in the race.
People elect rulers that will do something for them. They dont want snobby preachers who will pick a convenient ideology and guilt them. People dont like hating themselves
