From the moment Donald Trump assumed the USA presidency for the second time, public discourse – online and offline – has been shaped by the impact of his policies and the aggressive rhetoric behind his “Make America Great Again” agenda.
Whether through inhumane immigration tactics that separate families, targeting students for speaking out against genocide, or dismantling programs like DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) across government institutions, Trump’s administration has made it clear: any remaining illusions of democracy or equity tied to the USA are being deliberately and violently undone.
Adding further insult, Trump’s decision to impose sweeping tariffs on imported goods, signed into action on March 3, launched global markets into uncertainty. The move triggered swift backlash – from China’s retaliatory stance to concerns raised by the European Union and other global powers.
