The New Trump World Order

We are looking at a seismic shift in the US’s relationship with the world. Marco Rubio’s statement that we’re now in a multipolar world with “multi-great powers in different parts of the planet” sounds just like Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping.
This is the US effectively saying “Our attempt at running the world is over, to each his own, we’re now just another great power, not the ‘indispensable nation’. Hegemony was going to end sooner or later, and now the U.S. is basically choosing to end it on its own terms. It is the post-American world order – brought to you by America itself.
Trump represents a new coalition of power groups that want to leave the Globalist control or system of Empire. All of these groups have their own incentives and how long they work together and what group has the most power is yet to be seen.
Who are some of these groups within Trump’s collation? Old America builders or WASPs you can listen to Tucker Carlson or Jamie Dimon to find what they believe on any topic. The Paypal Mafia/Small Tech is led by Elon and Mark Andressen to name a few. The Cold War industrial complex is best represented by the Carlyle group and you may be able to slot Thiel into that group, even though he’s in the Paypal Mafia. Lastly, the Ben Shapiro crowd who I think are reluctantly in the group.
I believe that Trump and Co are moving back something closer to the Monroe doctrine where their sphere of influence will be the Americas and they do not want any of the other multi-polar powers to have any influence. This is why we’re hearing about Greenland, Canada’s 51st state, Panama, Mexico, and Rubio’s planned visits to Central and South America.
How is Trump’s new economic policy of reduced spending especially international spending, tariffs, and income tax connected to this new shift? The defunding and potentially the closure of USAID is a sign of reduced foreign influence and an attack on the empire’s patronage network that funds groups and politicians all over the world. You’ll see them pull or stop funding many of the international organizations and initiatives. They’ve already pulled out of the WHO, UN Human Rights Council and UNRWA.
The tariffs will be used to fund government, re-shoring subtitles, and as a tool to control the countries under their influence. I believe these will move up and down depending on adherence. Tariffs have to be prepared for and will have to stay on long enough to be incorporated into business planning, but they will be coming despite the current pause. The pause has another purpose which I will explain later.
When I heard about the plan a year ago to end income tax, I thought there was no chance. Then it became a talking point during the campaign and Trump hasn’t stopped talking about it. I think this will happen as a way to help with re-shoring inflation and a carrot to bring companies and productive people to the US.
Rubio managed to get Panama’s onside and the Chinese Belt and Road contract has been terminated. Greenland has some resources but it will mostly be needed to patrol the new Arctic sea routes and other military objectives. Trump has different objects with Canada and Mexico.
He never said he wanted to make Mexico a state because that would be too difficult. Mexico has a young population of 131 million with water challenges, cartel control, and cultural challenges. If they become a state the US would have a labor risk, there are too many of them and a young population could revolt. Their labour costs around $5/hour which is lower than China and just above Vietnam. The plan is to reshore or bring production and manufacturing closer to home. They want to use the labor pool but do not want to be responsible for them. The border issue is a real concern for the US.
Canada is a different story as the population is around 40 million. The labour costs are too high so manufacturing in Canada is not what they want. Canada has the energy and resources they need. Re-shoring will be inflationary so to combat that they will need constantly low energy costs.
Trump used the 51st state language on purpose and I do not think the goal is all of Canada. They do not have the hassle that could come from the nation of Quebec. I don’t know if they’re interested in Ontario either. What they want is energy and resource control and possibly a land connection to Alaska.
Is the 51st state Alberta or a combination of Western provinces in hole or in part? That scenario makes the most sense and culturally it would be easiest make happen. This is why Premier Smith was invited to the inauguration and many Alberta MLA’s have been or are planning trips to the US.
The border deal pause is interesting because most of that deal was given in December and Trump just moved passed it. The new addition of a joint task force will allow the US to investigate anything of concern. If they wanted BC included in the state deal they will likely want to know the extent of China’s influence. They can’t legally move forward with tariffs unless the reason is national security or health security which is what is the stated executive order, but as I mentioned the purpose is to control and revenue extradition.
We’re in the early stage of the new Trump regime but so far the organization has been impressive and they’re attacking the foundation of empire within the US and abroad. They had a video ready of the married Columbian President walking hand in hand with transwomen as punishment for fighting back. They had the US military ready to move to the border and that would require months of planning. They’ve all of this without any leaks.
The fact that we finally have Mark “City of London” Carney entering the political environment means that they’re concerned with what Trump is doing. They’re prepared to make Canada a battleground, and I am sure we’ll see a different Canada in 2026.
