Things are moving quickly in Trump world as the new administration flexes in a variety of mirrors. The stock market, for example, seems to be bullish on lowering consumer prices and stimulating the American energy industry. Not so much panic talk about climate change after the vote. Has anyone seen John Kerry?
Justin Trudeau zipped down to Florida from freezing Ottawa to tell the President-elect that he's down with migrant scrutiny. But in Mexico, new Presidente Claudia Sheinbaum says she still wants to "assist" undocumented folks. Muy malo. Her defiance won't last long.
Who knows what Putin's doing? The Russian ruble has collapsed but bad Vlad has his booty stashed away somewhere in Swiss Francs and dollars. His mistress reportedly lives in Zurich where the mention of a ruble elicits giggles and yodels.
The Vladster has to stop the Ukraine madness, and I expect a cease-fire deal shortly.
In China, the communist rumble ponies also have economic troubles that they need to take seriously. Trump will punish Xi and his pals with major sanctions if they move on Taiwan and Europe will go along with Trump. The Russians can't buy Chinese stuff because the ruble is essentially worthless.
Already, Mr. Trump has dispatched an emissary to Israel and Qatar. Not good news for the nutty Mullahs in Tehran.
So, as we approach Christmas, the American voter has reason to be happy with the national choice. President Biden fell asleep at a conference in Angola, and Kamala Harris watched the sunset in Hawaii. Goodbye to them.
A new world order is about to descend. It will be fascinating to watch.
