With Donald J. Trump regaining the presidency, the world outside and even some within the political realm have suddenly started to act more like a well-behaved puppy after a firm “no.” Just two days post-election, significant shifts are taking place, marking a day of victory that’s about more than just the ballots cast. From manufacturers to foreign governments, the news is ringing in loud and clear: Trump’s back, and so is the American confidence.
Starting with the business side of things, fashion mogul Steve Madden is making his move by slashing Chinese manufacturing by a staggering 40%. It appears that Trump’s return has spurred companies to bring manufacturing back home and reconsider their overseas partnerships. Who would have thought that just a mere change in presidential occupancy could turn corporate titans into patriotic souls? It’s like a corporate version of a Hallmark movie—where everyone realizes their true calling right after Thanksgiving dinner.
Meanwhile, the geopolitical arena isn’t left unscathed. Trouble in the Middle East has seen some nations reconsider their stances, with Hamas signaling a desire for a ceasefire in the wake of Trump’s re-election. Who could have predicted this sudden urge for peace from a group that has traditionally embraced conflict like it’s a friendly local soccer match? The beleaguered group is now apparently feeling pressure from its own populace to seek some peace, showcasing that a strong leader in the U.S. can ripple through even the most chaotic waters of international affairs.

Not to be outdone, Russia has decided that it might be time to put the squabbles over Ukraine on the back burner. With Vladimir Putin grinning from ear to ear, the Kremlin is expressing a willingness to discuss peace talks. The speculation is ripe: is it Trump’s winning smile or his well-documented position of strength that has convinced them to head for the negotiation table? Regardless, it’s refreshing to see some predictability come back to global relations—with Trump at the helm, it’s almost as if the whole world is realizing that respecting America is in everyone’s best interest.
Meanwhile, in other news that’s sure to raise some eyebrows, New York City is saying goodbye to food vouchers for illegal immigrants. This bold move arrives on the heels of Trump’s electoral success, hinting that even ultra-liberal mayors might be feeling the heat from a new political climate. It seems the mayor is waking up from a long slumber, finally realizing that taxpayer dollars might just need to stay in the hands of legal citizens for once.
The effects of Trump’s anticipated leadership are rippling through the economy and politics like a newly fluffed feather boa. With the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates merely 48 hours after the election, financial markets are responding positively, as if rejoicing for their once-fallen leader. It’s about time common sense returned to the fiscal discussion. Just like that, even the numbers on spreadsheets seem to be adhering to the “Trump effect.” In short, without even stepping foot in the Oval Office yet, it looks like America is already on track to reclaim its former glory.
