Europe Sleepwalks into Irrelevance as the U.S. Ascends
By Christiaan W.J.M. Alting von Geusau November 21, 2024
"The Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, one of the country’s leading publications, devoted its front page story on Saturday, November 9th claiming in large print and framed by an even larger menacing photo of Donald Trump that “This is the New World Order: It will be Lonely for European Democracies.” The piece went on to state that Trump’s election is a boon for autocrats worldwide while pointing out that the president-elect is apparently aiming for ‘a weak and divided Europe.’
This is quite a mouthful of far-reaching claims for a major newspaper that pretends to offer objective journalism. In fact, since November 5th, thanks to the dignified statesmanship of President Joe Biden after his party resoundingly lost the democratic and peaceful election, we have witnessed a return to the important American tradition – ignored by Trump in November 2020 – of the outgoing president inviting the president-elect to chat in the Oval Office. A tradition put in place to publicly underscore the need for an orderly and democratic transfer of power into motion. Whether autocrats the world over are going to be happy about the Trump election remains to be seen."
