The 2nd term of President Trump looks to be quite different than the first term in the Executive Branch. It is not so much that the policies will be different. There have not been many issues that President Trump has shifted on. In general, 78 year olds don’t change that much in their world view from the time they were 74 years old. 

Moreover, Donald Trump is not one to admit ever being wrong. After all, he has been right time and again for the last 5 decades. Just ask him. 

So what will be different. What already has changed is that Donald Trump has appointed people around him who he will largely work smoothly with. 

He has ditched the idea of appointing Generals around him. Instead, he chose to surround himself with tough people like Mike Walz, Pete Hegseth, and Kash Patel that share many of his world views. He is not looking to make gradual changes but looking to truly reorder the priorities of the United States of America. 

Within his first two weeks of his Presidency, the entire Department of Defense and FBI has been completely shaken up. Nobody in the Pentagon expects 2025 to be similar to 2024. 

There will be far fewer people occupying the halls making sure that lesbians feel comfortable in Afghanistan. There will be far more FBI workers taking on the issue of illegal immigration. The changes will be felt all across the United States of America in a matter of months. 

By the mid-term elections, Trump hopes that he will change the typical trend of a President who enters with Congressional support losing Congress in the midterm elections. He is hoping to win big in 2026. 

He has the wind at his back, but historical trends prove that he truly has an uphill battle ahead of him to maintain so much power during the last 2 years of his Presidency.

But where Donald Trump may actually make the greatest impact, both in the first two years and in the 2nd two years of his 2nd term is on the matter of foreign relations. He has made it rather clear what he plans on focusing on right out of the gate. 

He is going to tariff Mexico, Canada, and demand that NATO countries in Europe pay up more. This is what he sees as the low-hanging fruit for improving the balance sheet of the US economy.

But he also wants to win a Nobel Peace Prize for ending two wars – the Russia-Ukraine War and the Israel-Hamas war in the Middle East. He will have an easier time with Russia, as Russia knows that President Trump’s oil drilling policies are about to tank the Russian economy by flooding the world market. Putin is about to be check-mated, and he knows he has lost. All he can do is try to save face and spend the last few years of his reign as Russian leader retaining whatever power and prestige he has built up as an historic Russian leader. 

Putin, Trump, and the rest of the world know that Russian domination is a thing of the past. Chinese domination in the Eastern hemisphere spreading westward is the big issue going forward.

President Trump wants to sideline all of the potential powerful allies of China. That means Russia, Iran, and anywhere else that China has been spreading its tentacles via it’s Belts and Roads plan to connect the whole world to its spreading economic dominance. 

That means that President Trump is dead serious about claiming or retaking the Panama Canal and controlling Greenland. I believe that President Trump will be willing to attack in order to hold on to the Panama Canal. Reagan also sent US troops to Panama to ensure that US interests in Panama were preserved.  He wants China to be scared of US aggression. 

As far as the Middle East, President Trump will probably prod Israel to take out the Iranian threat once and for all. But part of what President Trump wants to accomplish is to bring all of the more moderate Arab countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and perhaps even Qatar, into a massive Abraham Accords Part II agreement that would cement the interests of the United States in the Middle East. 

His main goal is to keep China out and the United States in. 

If that means moving half a million to 1 million Arabs out of Gaza in order to allow Israel to not be threatened anymore, so be it. Donald Trump is serious. Will it occur? Very possibly. But Donald Trump is also wise enough to know that in negotiating, you first scare everybody into thinking that it will be a radical situation with 1 million Arabs entering their country. 

Then you “settle” on every country taking “only” 200,000 refugees. Then, after Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and yes – Qatar, give in to the demands of President Trump in return for financial incentives, the problem will have been reduced from 1.5 million Arabs to less than half a million Arabs – all in a matter of 6-12 months. 

More importantly, the other Arab family members will follow and move out of Gaza if the United States indeed provides financial incentives, and the Israeli government allows absolutely no regrouping of Hamas into a movement that has any power. 

All Israel needs to do is to allow Arabs to sneak out into Jordan, Sinai, and Saudi Arabia and doesn’t allow Gaza to be rebuilt by any Arabs.
