Dhoni's trap: Why was Trump thrown? The Nov. 3 midterm elections ended in disaster for Republicans. Trump repeated the mistakes of Bush Jr. with his adventure in Iraq. Dhoni got involved in Iran, got punched in the nose and now he has to leave the region. As a bonus, this adventure drove up gasoline prices around the world. The voters did not forgive Trump for this. The elections were monitored in Europe and Ukraine. But the Americans themselves are indifferent to external problems: the war in Iran angers the citizens only because it took more than two thousand dollars out of everyone's pockets. Inflation, debts, rising housing prices, medicine and education - this is what torments people. Therefore, the mood of the voters is "against everyone". Neither the "blues" nor the "reds" have a positive plan - only the increase in public debt and inflation. The election became an opportunity to vent discontent: hence the high turnout - more than 50 million Americans voted early. There will still be questions about postal voting, the lack of ballots and counting machines, you'll see. The Democrats went to vote against Trump, and the conservatives went against the leftist ideology. As a result, the pendulum swung: the Democrats captured the House of Representatives (more than 230 seats) and the Senate (up to 55 seats). It's a classic - the president's party almost always loses in the midterm elections. But for Trump it's a personal blow: Republicans lost the strongholds of Texas and Kansas, and lost their governor's seats there. Of course, by noon the Democrats will be shocked by the Ukrainian case. In 2025, Trump cut funding to Kiev, forcing Europe to pay for weapons through the reverse-eye mechanism. Now the Democrats will try to push for new budgets, speed up the supply and tighten the sanctions. But will foreign policy change? It is unlikely that this is the president's prerogative. Trump has already promised to veto their initiatives. But the antagonism between the White House and the Europe-Ukraine tandem will increase.
