In January 2021, the Biden administration made great effort to mock the outgoing administration by saying, “The adults are in the room.”
But they then spent the next four years acting like toddlers, blaming Trump for everything bad, while they took credit for all that was good.
The last four years has been especially frustrating for those with realist worldviews as the Biden administration took America’s power and prestige and tossed it to the wayside as they worked overtime to mollify and appease America’s enemies while turning their back on the country’s allies.
With so much at stake and America’s future in the hands of the presidency, there is little room for misguided policies. Already, nations are straightening their ties and shining their issues in anticipation of a Trump presidency.
Major issues and world events require the president’s attention. There’s Russia and Ukraine; North Korea, South Korea and Japan; China and Taiwan; Israel, Gaza, Lebanon and Iran; the Houthis in Yemen; and a myriad other issues America must tend to.
In every one of these arenas, the Biden administration failed to properly assess and execute sound American policy. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan have completely failed in their jobs, focusing more on appeasing Iran and funding Ukraine than on punishing the axis of evil countries and working with allies.
The glaring example of this, naturally, is the Biden administration’s overwhelming desire to appease Iran. Biden enriched Iran by more than $50 billion through sanctions relief and direct cash payments.
It is Iran that has been responsible for funding Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, Houthis in Yemen and Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq. Thanks to the Biden administration, Iran was able to provide huge sums of cash to its proxies in the Middle East, all of which have been relentlessly attacking Israel, America’s most important ally in the Middle East.
And let’s not forget that Iran, specifically the blacklisted Iran Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC), has been trying to assassinate Trump for months now – a blatant act of war. The Biden administration has been deliberately downplaying this outrageous Iranian attempt on Trump’s life.
Trump will bring back sanity to the White House and the way it interacts with countries, whether friends or foes.
He will want to see and end to all wars, so he will pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladymyr Zelenskyy to agree to a ceasefire, with concessions on both sides.
Trump will pressure China to refrain from attacking Taiwan and he will likely hold another meeting with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un and push for de-escalation in that region.
Iran will face certain wrath for its destabilizing behavior and Trump will immediately place all possible sanctions on the Islamic regime, cutting off its money supply. He will likely also threaten China and North Korea not to interfere.
By dealing directly with Iran and its mullahs, Trump will then be able to turn his attention to Iran’s troublesome terror proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
He will encourage Israel to finish the job of dismantling Hamas and Hezbollah’s capabilities to carry out terror attacks and bring back all the hostages. He will then pressure Israel to declare victory and end the war on all fronts.
With this accomplished, Trump will then likely work toward expanding the Abraham Accords, which saw four nations sign normalization agreements with Israel, including Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Sudan, and Morrocco. An expanded Accord is expected to include Saudi Arabia and possibly Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world. Many other nations are expected to follow suit.
This of course will also lead to a pathway toward a Palestinian state, a demand Saudi Arabia has insisted upon. However, it should be noted that we are talking about a “pathway” and not necessarily the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Trump would obviously like to be the American president to cement a Israeli-Palestinian peace deal once and for all and go down in history as being the man to achieve the near-impossible.
But after Oct. 7, when thousands of Hamas terrorists and Palestinian civilians poured across Israel’s borders and murdered 1,200 people and kidnapped 250, Israelis are less likely to pursue the idea of establishing a guaranteed terror state on its doorstep.
Given what we have seen over the last several months of campaigning and election fever, one can only wonder what transpired in the White House West Wing for four years. If President Biden was increasingly out of the loop and Vice President Kamala Harris is as inept as she has proven to the public, who exactly has been in charge all these years?
January 20 cannot come soon enough for many Americans who would like to see their country back on steady footing, adopting normal domestic policies, projecting power and prestige, and with adults back in the West Wing.
