Will America be great again?

ROSES AND THORNS - Pia Roces Morato - The Philippine Star

Conclusion

Some writers have noticed that Americans are becoming more insular and in turn becoming more protective of a legacy – something Kamala Harris could not do regardless of her approach in treating the issues with what is called the politics of care, which basically was unsuccessful.

All this being said, other opinion writers have described the Trump victory as an extremely lucky win. Did everyone who voted for Donald Trump actually like Donald Trump? The answer is no. But why did these people vote for him? Simply because they thought that he was the obvious choice over a candidate who was incapable and because there was a clear comparison between the Trump and Biden administrations that pushed them into doing just that. Those who did not like Trump but voted for him pointed out how Harris did not have a clear and concrete plan, that even on her website there were no visibly clear policies marked, apart from a donation button, while the bulk of subject matters surrounding America focused on economy, taxes, tariffs and global security.

Trump supporters also pointed out that the Harris campaign thrived only on emotions of politics. Prior to the elections, American model Amber Rose told the public that Americans were safer and wealthier under Trump, so much so that CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings expressed how this was the way to change the composition of the electorate. Amber Rose was said to have been a very important game changer, being a woman of color and speaking her mind despite criticism from liberals.

At the end of the day, and whether or not Trump was just extremely lucky to have won the elections, America seems to have voted decisively, so much so that not even my personal hero Taylor Swift could do anything about it. “We made history for a reason tonight,” Donald Trump said in his speech. Will America be great again? It seems that Trump has a plan – the part that the opposition failed to impart to the majority of American voters.
