Many expect the upcoming Trump admin will bring some great changes, but I doubt it. First, the Deep State will likely find means to keep Trump firmly in check, so his promises made during campaigning are unlikely to come true. It was so during his first term, and it would be strange to expect the second time things will be different. Second, an internal contradiction within the Trump's foreign policy agenda makes it insecure. His expressed intention to stop war(s) is incompartible with the "from the position of strength" mantra, while the latter is what inspires large part of American populace, especially those low-IQ rightards who loved those shoddy TV shows where Trump appeared as a strongman. If Trump really does something from the position of strength then it will lead to bigger conflicts and thus more unproductive spending to the detriment of the American domestic burning issues. If Trump does something sane / reasonable, then the Atlanticist MSM will brand him a weakling and/or a puppet of Putin/Xi, and it will undermine the Trump's support base (those low-IQ rightards). The probable scenario is, while Trump may change style, he would be incapable to change anything substantially. And inter alia, the American decline will continue its natural way.
