In a global climate of political upheaval, President-elect Donald Trump has sparked a worldwide rebellion against the perceived arrogance of global elites.
This marks the dawn of a new era of revolt, where the common man stands against political systems that seem to disregard the will of the people they govern. This wave of rebellion is not confined to a single region; it is a global phenomenon.
According to Hot Air, political upheaval is rampant across the globe. Established political leaders and parties are being ousted in Europe, South America, the Middle East, and Asia. In the United Kingdom, the Conservative Party's expansion of government and subsequent loss of direction led to their replacement by the Labour Party. This new leadership, however, has been economically inept, raising taxes across the board and plunging the economy into recession. France, too, is in a state of political turmoil, having recently dismissed its prime minister for the first time in decades, leading CNN to describe the nation as being in a state of "chaos."
Germany's government is teetering on the edge of collapse, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz forced to request a vote of confidence. The Associated Press reported that his three-party coalition government collapsed last month. South Korea's president has invoked martial law, leading to citizens demanding his impeachment. In Japan, the party that has ruled almost continuously since 1955 was voted out in October, as reported by the BBC.
North America is not immune to this trend, with both Mexico and Canada electing leftist leaders who are rapidly losing support. Argentina, however, is leading the charge against big government, with President Javier Milei, a self-proclaimed "shock capitalist" who despises state government, winning the election a year ago. He has become an international hero for his aggressive approach to reducing the size of government.
So, what is causing this sudden global shift in political power? The answer, it seems, is Trump. The world has watched the peaceful citizen uprising in America with a mix of fascination and admiration. The global masses are calling for Trumpism in their own countries, echoing the sentiment of making their nations great again.
The political class, including bureaucrats and elite academics, are understandably horrified. The public's anger at political incompetence, fiscal mismanagement, and government overreach is reaching a boiling point. The same politicians who claim to champion the working class are now the object of their scorn.
The global populace is taking note of the renewed vigor in America following Trump's election. His message of prosperity, efficiency, fairness, home rule, and patriotism is resonating with people worldwide. It seems inevitable that voters will demand Trumpian policies in their own regions. As Trump himself has stated, every leader should prioritize their own country. The concept of global government appears to be on the decline.
This is a grassroots movement, a shift of power back to the people, a concept once championed by the Left. Current world leaders, such as Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, may find themselves in the crosshairs of this Trumpian revolution. The world is watching, and change is on the horizon.
Stephen Moore, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation and an economic advisor to the Trump campaign, has written extensively on this topic in his new book, coauthored with Arthur Laffer, "The Trump Economic Miracle."
