Trump’s Hidden Multipolarism

ANGLO AMERICA, 3 Feb 2025

Sakai Tanaka – TRANSCEND Media Service

25 Jan 2025 – Four days have passed since Donald Trump was inaugurated as the US President. Upon taking office, he issued a large number of executive orders one after another and gave speeches at the Inauguration Ceremony and the Davos Conference. Among the measures announced and decided, it has been predicted the following movements for long, including (i) the crackdown on the illegal immigration, (ii) the termination of the liberal policies, (iii) the resumption of oil and gas development, and (iv) the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement.

Trump had begun to express North Americanism, such as the recapture of the Panama Canal and the proposal to annex Canada, before taking office. His repeated statements show that Trump is serious about Americanism, one way of responding to the emerging multipolarity in the world order.  (Trumpian North Americanism)  [Trump signs order directing US withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement – again]  [4 Reasons Trump Was Right to Pull Out of the Paris Agreement]  [The UN Admits That The Paris Climate Deal Was A Fraud]  [The Two Sides of the Paris Climate Agreement]  [NOAA Scientists Falsify Data to Dupe World Leaders on Climate Change]  [Donald Trump and a 2025 New World Order]

2. Trump’s economic policies such as the domestic tax cuts, the high tariffs on imports, and the inflation countermeasures have also been talked about for some time. It is unclear how effective these economic policies will be. High tariffs will be imposed selectively. It is still unclear how Trump, who often uses distractions, will manage his tariff policies. Trump has also begun a 90-day suspension of the international aid from the United States to the world, examining unnecessary and illegal aid and selecting it. The only aid that is being continued is to Israel and Egypt. (Should we consider Egypt’s inclusion because it is a puppet state of Israel, or because it is the base country for the aid to Gaza during the ceasefire?)（State Department issues immediate, widespread pause on foreign aid）（Trump lists perks should Canada become 51st US State）[Egypt–Israel relations] [Why Israel’s impending Rafah offensive is testing ties with Egypt]  [Why Egypt and Jordan rejected Donald Trump’s proposal of taking in Palestinians from Gaza]  [On Egypt border, senior IDF officer warns quietest ‘front’ has potential to erupt]
3. The 90-day suspension also includes the suspension of the military aid to Ukraine. Because of that, Ukraine’s fighting capability could further decline. [However, see → US has not stopped military aid to Ukraine, Zelenskyy says  and Pentagon: Suspension of aid programmes does not affect arms supplies to Ukraine]  Trump says that he will end the Ukraine War in the next 100 days.  It seems to be linked to the military aid suspension. There are two sides to the question of whether the Ukraine War will roar, so we will consider it again. The suspension of the international aid is one of Trump’s measures to abandon the US Hegemony and to respond to the multipolarization in the world order. Along with Americanism, it can be seen that Trump is a “hidden multipolarist” that he does not clearly reveal.（Trump Cuts Ukraine Aid As State Dept “Totally Went Nuclear” On Foreign Assistance）（Why Trump’s 100% BRICS Tariff Threat Looks Like Bluff）[End of American hegemony: Can the superpower reinvent power for the 21st century]   [USAID project suspension: Impact on Ukraine and misconceptions explained by political analyst]   [The EU has taken note of the US suspension of all aid programs to Ukraine]
4. Among the trends that have become clear with his inauguration, what I paid the most attention to is that Trump will meet with the leaders of the non-US major powers, Russia, China, India and BRICS, such as Putin, Xi Jinping and Modi. He is also likely to meet with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and lead to a resolution of the Korean Peninsula issue. (As such, the expulsion of Yoon Seok-yeol is the first step in that.) Thanks to Russia, North Korea has already been firmly integrated under the umbrella of the non-US side, China and Russia. Therefore, there could be no more war (except only some confrontations as the political show). Trump likes the summit diplomacy, and even in his first term, he actively met with these non-US and anti-US leaders. This trend will continue in the future.（Trump planning early China trip – WSJ）(The Hidden Meaning of the Martial Law in South Korea) [The BRICS Challenge to the G7 Established International Order]
5. His predecessor, Biden, only viewed those non-US countries as the enemies against the US. He did not engage in any summit diplomacy with the leaders of the non-US sides. It would have been fine if the US Hegemony was so strong that non-US sides were insignificant, but the reality is that since the start of the Ukraine War, the decline of the US Hegemony and the rise of the non-US sides (i.e. the multipolarization of the hegemony in the world order) have accelerated. Biden’s absence of the summit diplomacy showed his incompetence, or rather his severe dementia. In contrast, Trump loves the summit diplomacy, as mentioned above. Now that the multipolarization has progressed compared to his first term 2017-2021, the effectiveness of Trump’s summit diplomacy has increased significantly.（Nuclear reduction, ending the Ukraine conflict and massive tax cuts: Key takeaways from Donald Trump’s Davos speech）
6. While Trump places importance on the non-US sides, he is mean and cold towards the US Allies such as NATO and the G7 countries. Elon Musk, one of the main close-aides of Trump, has picked political fights with the German, British, and French governments, while Trump himself is threatening to annex Canada. Shigeru Ishiba, Prime Minister of Japan, is being ignored (or rather, Trump’s strategy is to pretend that Japan does not exist).  Among the G7, the only country that Trump is on good terms with is Italy, led by Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, who has the right-wing government.  She is not a liberal-centrist, as is the existing elite of the West, but a right-winger (what the media’s authoritative liberals and scrupulous believers call the extreme right), so she was invited to the Trump palace at Mar-a-Lago and is on good terms with Trump and Musk.（Scholz calls Musk threat to democracy）（Giorgia Meloni, Donald Trump’s new European friend）[US ploy to maintain hegemony]
7. Those right-wing leaders such as Georgia Meloni of Italy, Viktor Orbán of Hungary, and Robert Fico of Slovakia are able to get along with Trump because they have the same stance as Trump, even within Europe. They can be the ones to lead the future friendship between Europe and the United States. On the other hand, the liberal-centrist right-wing and left-wing elite forces that have dominated the UK, Germany, and France are and will be in the antagonistic relationship with the Trump camp. After Trump’s election, Musk, as Trump’s de facto representative, has continued to criticize the elite forces in the governments of the UK, Germany, and other countries, picking fights. （欧州を政権転覆するトランプ陣営）
8. The G7 and NATO, which have operated the US Hegemony, were the organizations of the elite forces in Europe and the US. (The US elite forces were the Democratic Party and the former mainstream of the Republican Party such as the Bush family.) The US Intelligence Community (i.e. the Deep State = DS) was at the top, and the British Intelligence Community was the mastermind behind the Deep State. Those right-wing forces such as Trump in the US, Meloni (Italian Brotherhood Party) in Italy, AfD and BSW in Germany, and Le Pen in France came from outside the framework of the US-European elite alliance. That is why Trump has been attacked by those elite forces such as the DS Democratic Party media authority liberals and their puppets. Meloni and other Italian right-wingers (i.e. the far-right) have hidden their true nature and tried to avoid being attacked and excluded by pretending to be center-right within the elite framework even after taking power. [NATO helping US maintain its hegemony – Opinion] （What The Flying F**k Is Going On In Britain?）[Inside the secret world of U.S. intelligence]  [British intelligence agencies] [The Foundations of Anglo-American Intelligence Sharing]  [The Case for Cooperation: The Future of the U.S.-UK Intelligence Alliance]  [Deep state in the UK ]  [A History Of Trump’s Broken Ties To The U.S. Intelligence Community]
9. Now that Trump has returned to power and taken control of the US, the liberal elite forces, mainly the US Democratic Party, are rapidly weakening without fighting back. (The essence of this case is the secret battle within the US Intelligence Community, and the hidden multipolar faction, which has been around for a long time, such as Rockefeller, has jumped on the bandwagon of the hegemonic forces, such as the liberals (British), and has been intentionally destroying the elite forces by repeatedly issuing radical, childish, and extremely foolish policies, from the neoconservatives to the global warming campaign, those Covid-19 lies, the US election fraud in 2020, the welcoming illegal immigrants campaign, the awakening movement, and the censorship of speech. The multipolar faction has set up the liberal side to collapse completely with Trump’s return, allowing Trump to do whatever he wants. It may be interesting to see what happens next.) （Soros a bigger danger than Musk – Italian PM） [How COVID-19 infected the world with lies] [U.S. Election Fraud is Real—And It Is Being Ignored]
10. The Trump camp has begun to eliminate the elites in Europe at the same time as it eliminates the elites in the US. It is deemed that the AfD will win the German election in February this year.  Meloni, who had been pretending to be a British puppet, has now shown her true colors, retorting to German and British elites who criticize “Elon Musk for interfering in the internal affairs of Europe” by saying, “George Soros has also interfered in the internal affairs of Europe. Soros ruined Europe, but Musk will make it better.”  The reason why “Trump has won in the US and the AfD (Germany), Le Pen (France) and Nigel Farage (UK) are likely to win in Europe” is NOT because the voters have shifted to the right, BUT because the existing the left-right and center elites have been implementing the succession of the extremely foolish policies, causing the economy and society to deteriorate, and the voters have abandoned the elites.
11. If the right wing becomes the political mainstream in both the US and Europe, will the right wing take over the G7 and NATO? Will the traditional British and liberal elites decline?  Will the right wing and the Trump supporters become the new elites and maintain the global US sole hegemony and the Deep State (control by the Intelligence Community)?  Will the new Director of the US Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, take over the US Intelligence Community for that purpose?  [Finding a “Deep State Structure” in the Intelligence Community]（De-Weaponizing The Federal Government）[Liberalism in the United Kingdom] [The British liberal elite will never understand the US election]
12. None of those will become true. The reality today is that the non-US sides, such as BRICS, are already stronger in their economics and politics than the areas under the US Hegemony (i.e. the US side, including NATO + Japan, South Korea, Australia, etc.), and are evenly matched in terms of the security and the military. The US side is only shrinking, with the Malaysian Prime Minister declaring that “China’s influence in Southeast Asia has become stronger than the US.”（US Has Lost Ground to China in South-East Asia – Malaysian PM）[Commentary: Navigating China’s influence and expanding role in Southeast Asia]
13. Even if the right wing takes control of the US and Europe, the decline of the US side will not stop. In the first place, the existing elites tried to forcefully maintain the US sole hegemony by claiming to liberalize and democratize the world. However, they failed miserably, lost the support of the people, and stepped down. So, the right wing has taken the ruling power instead.（Tulsi Gabbard vs. the War Party）
14. In contrast to the idealistic (i.e. the ruling system using) liberals, the right wing, both Trump and the AfD, are realists. The liberals maintained NATO in order (a) to incite the threat of the Soviet Union and Russia and (b) to place Europe under the control of the UK and the US (Deep State = the Intelligence Community) in the name of liberalism. The G7 evolved from the G5, which was the organization that provided dollar support (i.e. the coordinated foreign exchange intervention) to enable Japan and Germany, which were dependent on the US, to maintain the US economic hegemony by restoring the US dollar, which had weakened after the Nixon Shock (the Lehman Shock caused the dollar and bond system to collapse, and the G7’s economic role ended). NATO was effective during the Cold War, when the West (the US side) was much stronger than the East (the non-US side), but it is outdated now that the non-US side is stronger. Now that the non-US side, which accounts for the majority of the world, is building the economic system in BRICS to replace the dollar and the US financial system. The G7 is also inappropriate.（世界のデザインをめぐる２００年の暗闘）[The Deep State Has Long Abused Its Power]  [BRICS Currency Could End Dollar Dominance]  [Charted: How BRICS Stacks Up Against the G7 Economically]  [Western dominance is dying. The G7, or Group of Seven, has long…]   [G7 Summit 2024 Ends in Quarrels and Problems]
15. If the right wing becomes the mainstream in the US and Europe, instead of maintaining and reviving the unrealistic US sole hegemony, they will take the opposite approach, improving the relations with Russia, China, and the non-US side of BRICS, accepting that the world has irreversibly shifted to a multipolar world, and incorporating the US and Europe into the multipolar world. If the right wing does not do that, the US and Europe will decline even much further and will eventually have to accept the multipolarity in the world order. Italy’s Meloni, Germany’s AfD, and France’s Le Pen are all pro-Russia. The European right-wingers have already rejected the existing US Hegemony system that treats Russia as their enemy. Those right-wingers have already accepted the multipolar world.
16. Trump maintains the hostile stance against Russia and China as the distraction to the existing liberal elites, while in reality he is engaging in the summit diplomacy with Putin, Xi Jinping, and Modi to respond to the multipolar world. Trump’s policies toward Russia and Ukraine have two sides. Trump and Putin continue the summit diplomacy while continuing the partial US-Russia conflict. This is because Russia and the non-US sides will continue to be united. Meanwhile, the multipolarization in the world order will continue to progress.（リベラルとトランプ）[Trump’s Shocking ‘Pro-Russia’ Move; 60 US Officials Suspended For Dissent Over Foreign Aid Cut] [Multipolarity]
17. Putin pointed out yesterday that Trump was forced to lose the 2020 US presidential election through fraud. This is the first time a foreign leader has pointed out that election fraud. Putin is on Trump’s side. It will soon become clear that the US Democratic Party has committed large-scale election fraud in order to eliminate Trump.（2020 election victory was stolen from Trump – Putin）（米民主党の選挙不正）   [In an interview, Putin echoes Trump’s claim that conflict in Ukraine could have been avoided had he been in office]
18. If the US and Europe enter the multipolar world, there is no need for the US and Europe to be allies. Europe is located on the Eurasian Continent, and its relations with neighboring Russia and the Middle East and Africa are of utmost importance, but the US is located in the Western Hemisphere, in the Americas and North America, far from Eurasia. The geopolitical situations of Europe and the US are very different, and their international strategies are quite different. The existing (i.e. the British puppet) geopolitics has made a huge mistaken theory that whoever controls the Central Eurasia controls the world. This theory has portrayed the structure in which the US, Europe, Japan, and Australia form the alliances to surround the Central Eurasia and confront China and Russia as legitimate.   [Glenn Diesen – The Case for Eurasian Multipolarity – Brave New Europe]（選挙不正が繰り返される米国）[Russia, China, and America: The New Battle for Eurasia]  [Towards a Multi-Polar International System: Which Prospects for Global Peace?]  [The coming multi-order world]
19. The British geopolitics is a hoax to forcibly bind the United States to international conflicts in Eurasia.  It justifies the Cold War structure in which the United States put Europe under its control and was in conflict with Russia and China. It was invented by the United Kingdom, which controls the United States (the US Intelligence Community) like a black hat. What is called geopolitics in the world is a lie told by the British puppets called “experts”.  If we see through the lies of geopolitics and reconsider the role of the United States in the world, it becomes  “Americanism,” which claims that “the United States should prioritize the Western Hemisphere and Eurasia can be secondary.”（トランプの米州主義と日本）[Donald Trump: We Must Replace Globalism With Americanism]  [Trump: “Americanism, Not Globalism, Will Be Our Credo”]
20. That is the original way it should be, but “experts” have brandished the geopolitics of the Eurasian scramble to bind the United States to the world hegemony and labeled Americanism as the evil “isolationism.” When Trump promotes Americanism, such as the idea of ​​annexing Greenland, Canada, and Panama, he gives it the color of a nonsensical “personal theory.” This is because it would still be politically dangerous for him to speak frankly at this time when the existing worldview stays strong. In the future, however, when (i) the British and American Intelligence Communities weaken significantly and (ii) people are forced to accept the reality of the multipolar world, Trump’s plan for the United States to integrate the whole of North America may be accepted.（Trump lists perks should Canada become 51st US State） [A Brief History of the UK&USA Intelligence agreement]  [Trump Is Right That Pax Americana Is Over]
21. Since Trump first ran for office in 2016, he has advocated “America First” as the basic policy for foreign and security, and has sought a “strong America” ​​under that. “America First” leads to Americanism. So, it is premised on the multipolar world. Trump is a hidden multipolarist. Be aware that the United States in the past was in the category of “hidden Britain First”.  Japan’s national policy has also been dependent on Britain, not on the United States.

22. If we remove the British lie, we will realize that the world is more stable in the multipolar world where the Great Powers stand side by side in harmony. Given the role of the hegemony by Britain, the United States (a) founded the United Nations as the institution of the hegemony after World War II, and (b) placed the multipolar world system of the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and China (P5), the Permanent Members of the UN Security Council, at the top. After that, however, Britain invited the United States to create the Cold War, during which they destroyed the multipolar system. Then, Nixon and Reagan worked to end the Cold War. Now, Trump is continuing the same movement back to the multipolar world.
