How do you explain the enthusiasm for Trump's victory in so many countries? \ stacker news ~Politics_And

I completely understand the Americans who voted for Trump because his promises are closely linked to economic growth and the improvement of social, educational, and other conditions in America. (If I lived there, who knows, maybe I would have voted for him too, seeing all those promises, although I think most of them are just campaign promises). It seems that the Biden administration had crossed the line with left-wing policies, and in such situations, a populist like Trump finds it much easier to win. Without getting too deep into analysis (I am not an expert in this field), I hope that the new presidency is a good one for Americans.

What I don't understand is the enthusiasm of so many people (non-Americans) who live outside America. Even in my own country, many people were happy about Trump's victory. Political talk shows are still talking about it.

How can people who aren't American and don't live in America be happy when Trump's policies are only for the good of his country? To him, the rest of us are "the rest of the shithole", as he has said.

He also doesn't care what his allies think. For example, Trump's priorities do not include NATO (which many countries, including my own, are proud to belong to because NATO is supposed to protect us in case of danger). His idea of an end to the war in Ukraine is the surrender of Ukrainian territory to Russia. As for the war in Israel, his support for Israel has only increased, making a solution even less likely shortly.

Trump's supporters expect him to bring solutions to the wars, but no one knows how he could resolve them.

In terms of economic development, Europe could become even weaker economically because Trump is in favour of boosting exports and minimizing imports. This will further increase Europe's trade tariffs with the US; perhaps the dollar will also strengthen. I won't even go into his immigration policy, which is well known, or his environmental policy.

So what economic solution would Trump offer to non-American states?

What is there for non-Americans to celebrate in Trump's victory?

Can anyone explain this to me? I am trying to understand.

when America does something it has major downstream effects all across the world (wars, econ growth, culture wars)
converse of what you say: people care a LOT, negatively as well.

I was shocked when people in my class the morning of Trump 1.0 were crying. Half a world away. But somehow they think it's important, cosmically and/or has echoes everywhere else https://thedailyeconomy.org/article/trump-mania-why-do-we-care-so-much-about-politics/

I expect difficulties, at least diplomatic ones. As I live in a country linked to BRICS that wants to eliminate the use of the dollar as its standard currency, and Trump has already highlighted in one of his interviews that this would be catastrophic. I already foresee economic sanctions!

The only political parties in Europe celebrating Trump’s victory are populistic parties, typically further on the right or left, building their success on empty promises and fears. Little Trumps.

Rising tide lifts all boats is the obvious answer, but no doubt every nationalist worldwide is happy to see the CIA's balls cut off

They see that there is a chance he is not part of the established powers.
