US president-elect Donald Trump will have his hands full fixing the mess in foreign and domestic policy left by incumbent leader Joe Biden’s administration, according to Dennis Kucinich, two-time Democratic presidential candidate and retired eight-term US congressman.
In an interview with Going Underground host Afshin Rattansi broadcast on RT on Saturday, Kucinich said that the success of Trump’s presidency will depend on his ability to shift the focus of US politics from the “globalist aspirations of the State Department” to problems at home.
The veteran politician welcomed Trump’s victory over Democrat Kamala Harris in this week’s election, saying that it represents a “historic shift” in US politics towards “populism.”
“[The US] has come through a very dark period where the government put this country to the edge of World War III, and people don’t want that,” Kucinich stated, noting that ordinary Americans worry about simple things like paying bills and generally “making ends meet,” which he called “very practical aspirations they have in common with people around the world.” He said Trump’s presidency “will depend on not getting further involved in foreign entanglements.”
There’s a lot of work Trump will need to do, he is going to be faced with some serious decisions about scaling back the US position in Europe and the Middle East and to try to find a way that we can move past the events that the Biden administration embroiled America in.
Kucinich noted that he expects Trump to be able to extricate the US from global conflicts through his “deal-making finesse.”
“Trump is a deal-maker… a family man concerned about children and grandchildren. He’s not personally interested in seeing the US expand into war, he’s not a globalist in that way,” he stated.

The Most Revolutionary Act 
It is my sincere hope that Trump will do just that. Too many Americans are suffering, needlessly because our imaginary tax dollars are funding wars in other countries and also into propping up other countries to the detriment of this one. Trump has his hands full, and hopefully, he will be able to undo some of the damage that the Biden/Harris Administration has caused. I see too much needless suffering, misery and poverty, and it is just awful. Something seriously needs to be done to rein this out-of-control misery, in. People are becoming unhinged. The violence is getting out of hand, or should I say, HAS gotten out of hand. Bus drivers are being threatened on a daily basis. The library is a crime scene every five minutes since damn near everyone in it is homeless, on drugs or mentally ill. The situation is extremely dire at this point!

I think communities can play a big role in restoring sanity, Shelby, so long as they aren’t spied on, deplatformed and debanked for trying to speak the truth.
