Trump 2.0 will have no guardrails, no check on its drive to remold policies on everything from reproductive rights to Ukraine. Trump the political narcissist interprets his sweeping mandate as a license to bend the entire US government to his will. Recall that pro-Hamas protesters heckled her rallies but did not do the same for Trump, who had a tougher pro-Israel stance. During the campaign, Trump encouraged Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities. A Trump administration, for instance, may be less sympathetic towards the Philippine effort to build alliances to counter Chinese bullying.
