In this in-depth discussion on the implications of Donald Trump’s re-election as US president, geopolitical expert Ian Bremmer explores the key issues that shaped the result — as well as the coming shifts in US foreign policy, from the Russia-Ukraine conflict to the US-China relationship and the Middle East. Learn more about the economic pressures, complex global dynamics and central personalities (including Elon Musk) that will define a second Trump presidency.

X has an unbiased fact checking system in community notes thats initiated by the users of X not any authority , not to mention the freedom of infomation on X regardless of political opinion, to suggest Elons insistance that X is more important as a source of news is purely down to financial motives is obviously entirely disingenuous, Elons commitment to free speech is undeniably his relenting motive behind X , you people just cant help yourselves

“His view is that all of those publications, cable news, that they are fake news, because you know he’s not making money out of those and that Twitter/X is real news and that citizen journalists are the real media.” — While it’s tempting to simplify Elon Musk’s criticism of mainstream news outlets as purely financial, the reality is far more complex. Numerous studies and independent analyses have shown that many traditional media outlets, particularly cable news networks, have increasingly prioritized sensationalism and biased reporting over objective facts. This trend has contributed to the spread of misinformation, often for the sake of ratings, clicks, and ad revenue. The impact is profound—these outlets influence millions’ beliefs and opinions, sometimes leading to widespread misunderstandings or polarizations on critical issues. Musk’s preference for citizen journalism on platforms like X stems not from his lack of profits from these media companies but from a belief in decentralized reporting, which he argues is more transparent and accountable. By giving individuals a voice, he hopes to offer a broader spectrum of perspectives and reduce reliance on traditional media sources that, in his view, have too often compromised their journalistic integrity.

November 8, 2024 at 6:33 pm
I’m not an American, and I find both parties laughable. In fact, your entire political system is laughable. With that said: Sometimes you feel so strongly about subject x, that you are willing to compromise on subject y,z.. in order to influence subject x. I highly doubt that the majority of Conservatives voted because they find the above mentioned things acceptable, but they likely have a problem with immigration, wokeism or abortion. Many probably even voted for the Conservative party, because that’s what they have always done. When you live in a democracy you have to accept that other people think something else than you, and that sometimes they will win elections, implementing things you don’t like.When that happens, it is your job to not automatically think of them as inherently bad people. They can have bad reasons for thinking as they do, but they can also have good reasons. Either way, we don’t know.
@RoskildeJonas
November 8, 2024 at 6:39 pm
Oh, and when there’s only truly two relevant parties to vote on, the alternative to voting on the thing you believe in, will be to vote on the thing you really don’t believe in. Imagine if Trump wasn’t surrounded by controversies and that he was just a business man, still as stupid and orange as today and Kamala had been accused of ‘grape’, how would you vote?

Trump is merely the manifestation of modern America.

Ian omitted the main problem with current MSM news coverage. Their tendency to publish news based on selective edits which is how we ended up the the ‘Fine People’s Hoax’, the ‘Drinking Bleach Hoax’, etc. The fact that the journalists are 90% Democrats makes them little more than a press office for the DNC.

Is funny to me that everyone was so critical of Elon’s purchase of Xitter. They were laughing so hard that he and his billionaire buddies lost so much money. But IMO it was all part of the plan. They bought themselves an election with the 2 billion eyeballs they had access to. Now they’ll gain trillions. Now they’ll bankrupt the legacy media companies and take over everything.

The United States is already done, in justice, economy, science, and democracy and only Trump-voters don’t know it. Many Trump voters believe that Trump will recover the US economy and their financial wail be better, but it won’t happen, all wealth will go to Trump and his friend’s pocket, like Elon Musk. US will become a country dominated by dictator, conspiracy and cult, very similar to Japan which has dramatically declined, while dominated by the “emperor” Shinzo Abe who was Trump’s friend for decades until his assassination. I’m very wondering when US realize it and fix those, can be longer than tens of years
@hirokou.9030
November 8, 2024 at 7:50 pm
I was a supporter of Harris from Japan. Please forgive me for expressing my opinion from the outside. I followed the news daily, be it the New York Times, the Washington Post, Germany’s Spiegel, the UK’s Economist, or, like you, the more Harris-oriented YouTube channels. I never doubted that Harris would win, and now I am shocked. But now that I think about it, my information was too biased towards Harris. No matter how vulgar, lying, and sloppy a populist Trump is, I should have learned more about him and his supporters from different angles. Weren’t the Harris-leaning media targeting Harris supporters to get more followers and better ratings? The same goes for Trump supporters who are only exposed to fake information about Trump and misinformation about Harris.
In the States, don’t you have any major media outlet that almost everyone watches or reads and trusts? Like NHK in Japan, ARD or ZDF in Germany, and BBC in the UK. They are funded mainly by public license fees, not by the government. (They might be more or less pro-government, but as a principle, they must be neutral.)I think the situation will not change unless there is information that is shared and trusted by everyone.

I do not see the relevance of noting that other countries are also leaning to the right. The USA has always been the “leader” of the Western World, when it comes to political leanings. The USA does not take it’s actions, based on what other countries are doing. No, but I do think this Trump victory may be a real dagger in the heart of American democracy. I think it was Churchill who said..We get the leadership we deserve”…and the MAGA crowd will now suffer, just like the rest of us in this messed-up country!

One thing is true, overall from left to right the American people don’t trust media outlets anymore, most people get their info through podcasts now. And finally, Trump is a wannabe dictator who will act accordingly, the man doesn’t believe on anything but to enrich himself, his family and to have power.

There are 275,171,997 that did not vote for Trump, may it be the couch, another party, but they did not vote for the Grand Wizard, there is HOPE. Greed, Racism, Gender, White Fear and Selfishness is what he won. This is just my opinion, everybody has one but what is their intent. Everything has consequences.💎❤🗝🙏🏽 So 21.57 percent of the population voted for Donald Trump, a little bit more than the African American population. There is HOPE! Also he’s a lame duck president.

We have people running these companies that are spineless. The only thing trump is good at is lying, that is his jam and that is what he won with. The country may look red but 1/2 of us aren’t and I have nothing but hate for trump, melania everyone trump except mary and everything maggot. All of a sudden now, surprisingly trump is not whining about fraud in the election. he is a baby needing a diaper all the time and an embarrassment for america. Also, we have 1/2 a population that doesn’t research anything and accepts idiots on youTube w/o even researching for the facts. Lazy & stupid would be 1/2 our population.

It’s nice to know,you THINK you know, what ALLLllll the allies believe in and are interested in. You are a small little man thinking he knows opinions of thousands. You, like all the other idiots, “Well, I spoke to a lot of people”… “Well, my sources tell me…”. Look inward as in, “what the heck did we do wrong and how can we make it better for the next election??”. I’m certain you’ve gotten every NATO countries opinion, I’m pretty sure they don’t want you speaking for them either. Start speaking greatness upon the country, and great things will happen.

If you can’t afford education best option for lower income (the many) is get your kids in the services. Any President they can’t trust to stay out of a war, they won’t vote for.

This is epically hilarious! Even today, not admitting the failure but blaming for disinformation.
The golden sentence is “People would have feelings about things are but they don’t necessarily know what the facts are”, which shows how arrogant and delusional these “experts” are.
They think they are controlling the truth, they can bend the truth by their words even the whole country has shown on their face, how wrong they have been.
This attitude is exactly how they lost pretty much on every single aspect of this election.

The US media for the most part was biased against Trump, there was no balanced reporting. It was wildly overt and really very annoying. Many dislike Trump, but the alternative was worse in the eyes of voters. Now everyone is a reporter due to the internet and the dishonesty of the main stream media. That Trump won seems it should have been impossible with all the forces arrayed against him. But he won because the electorate thought the Democrats were lying.

Ian’s explanations and reasoning are helpful in sorting out the miasma of competing problems we face. The slurs that boh parties throw against each other are disgusting, however. We need NO money allowed in political competition. A completely new system needs to be created for political elections. Perhaps a fairly weighted A I can create one for us so that each side’s plans for the country can be measured side by side and then every citizen’s vote fairly registered.

Excellent analysis. I thought ideas would be presented from a left-wing perspective but not only did I detect little bias, the ideas about how Trump would approach Russia-Ukraine and the MIddle East were on point and high plausible.

One thing that strikes me as a 93 year old lifetime faithful Catholic and father, grandfather and great grandfather, twice widowed, nuclear physicist and space science instrument developer and lifetime observer of the political landscape is; that the Catholic bishops , united on their strong opposition to abortions had a very strong influence on the election of Donald Trump. The Catholic bishops of America seem to be united in their opposition to Pope Francis’ strong advocacy, demonstrated in 2015 for his support of protection of the environment from global climate destruction brought on by the burning of fossil fuels. This opposition has been manifested by the complete lack of any preaching in the Catholic churches about this issue or any action to install solar panels on any Catholic church. What does this have to do with election of Donald Trump? It illustrates the very strong grip that the Catholic Bishops of America have on the behavior of the Catholic priests, who preach to the Cathollic faithful. The Catholic bishops of America let it be known that abortion is the greatest evil sin of america and must be resisted at all costs. This resulted in sermons at multiple Catholic churches, that I attended preceding the election, where I heard repeated week after week, in effect, ‘I can”t tell you who to vote for, but keep in mind when you are voting, that is the greatest sin in America.” My informal and much less than scientific survey of catholics at my church, when I asked who a person voted for president, Trump or Harris , and was abortion a significant factor in your vote. What I got as answers was unequivocally: ‘I voted for Trump and abortion was my major reason’. Please keep this observation in your thinking when trying to analyze the ‘unexpected ‘phenomenon’ of Trump winning this election.

Elon Musk takes “Bad Actor” to a whole new level. The man is a cartoon Bond villain at this point. it would be funny if he wasn’t doing so much harm. His weaponization of social media, to me is the definition of election interference and he is using the same tactics in Canada and countries around the world.

The most dangerous and damaging “misinformation” (aka lies)has come from the left for years not X posts or podcasters. “The border is secure”, the definition of Recession, Bidenomics is working, “you won’t get COVID if you get the vaccine”, years of Russiagate hoax, Hunter Biden’s laptop is Misinformation, Covid didn’t come from a lab.
O yeah about about the 2020 election fraud…where did those 16 million votes vanish to? lol

11:38 thank you Ian for calling out things like the Liz Cheney misconstruing.
as much as I am saddened by Trump’s impact on the lowering of standards of behavior for American leaders and citizens alike, and think he is as loathsome of a person and public figure as there could be, it drives me nuts when people rush to attack him with interpretations of quotes that are entirely out of context. Trump says and does enough within context to provide the basis for genuine criticism. No good is done by careless or willful misinterpretation in the service of gotcha points that are wholly unearned.
