So if Trump wins all hell will happen, as leftists around the world say? And again, which result is most useful to Italy and, in the meantime, also to Europe? Let’s start by saying that Trump’s victory cannot in any way be associated with words like “coup d’état” or “end of democracy”. Trump has already been President for four years and has all the characteristics for a second term even better than the first, for example avoiding gross mistakes like that of January 6, 2020, the tragic day on Capitol Hill. So put your heart at rest, the beautiful souls of the planetary united left (SUP): Trump can be a good President. If we then look at our own interests, I would say that there is more than one reason to look favorably on a return to the White House of “The Donald”. First of all because his frankness in asking European allies to take charge of their own security can only do us good, erasing once and for all the illusion of living in an era of endless peace guaranteed by the weapons of others (i.e. the Americans) . To be even clearer, anything other than 2%: in the years to come, far more investments in defense and security will be needed.

Then there is a huge issue called illegal immigration. The turning point that Trump imagines for the United States is drastic, overturning the logic of bland opposition that has prevailed up to now. Well, this new attitude from the White House cannot serve to strengthen and legitimize similar European choices. And since many migrant routes are used as hybrid warfare weapons, it is clear that only a NATO/G7 alliance can achieve credible results. Then there is a political question, apparently only theoretical but in reality of formidable weight. Around the world, new figures born and raised on the right are obtaining very flattering results (in Italy obviously, but also in Argentina, Japan and so on). However, all this is not yet able to be expressed at an international level, not with a single voice, but at least with a certain degree of convergence. We also see it in Europe, where right-wing forces often move in no particular order. So a victory in the most important nation of all would immediately open up the space for a new and very interesting joint action.
Finally there are the wars, those wars that the Biden administration had foreseen (the CIA documents are clear) but which it was unable to avoid or bring to a balance, at least a truce. Does Trump have the magic wand to fix these two “cursed” stories? We can’t be certain, but we know some things that are probably crucial. His support for Israel is clear, as is his idea of the Abraham Accords. Like it or not, that is the only way forward in which to guarantee Israel’s full security and at the same time reduce Iran’s terrorist activism and initiate a solution acceptable to the Palestinians. At the same time we know that no one can talk to Putin like Trump, without placing himself in a subordinate position or supporting him as Chinese President XI Jinping does. In short, to cut a long story short, Trump definitely has a better chance of putting things right than Harris. Maybe for this reason alone I think it would be better for us to find him in the White House.

**Interview with Roberto Arditti on the Potential Impact of Trump’s Return to the White House**
**Interviewer:** Welcome, Roberto. Your recent commentary suggests that Trump’s re-election could have significant implications for both the US and Europe. Can you elaborate on how you see this playing out?
**Roberto Arditti:** Thank you for having me. Indeed, I believe that Trump’s return to the White House could usher in a period of renewed focus on national security and defense spending in Europe. He has a unique way of directly communicating the need for European allies to take charge of their own security. This might push European nations to finally step up their investment in defense, moving away from relying solely on American support.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned Trump’s approach to illegal immigration as a major shift. How do you think his policies could influence Europe’s own stance on immigration?
**Roberto Arditti:** Trump’s strategies are indeed drastic compared to the current approaches. His hardline stance could validate similar policies in Europe, especially as many migrant routes are used in geopolitical conflicts. Coordinating efforts via NATO or the G7 could lead to a unified front against the misuse of migration as a tool of hybrid warfare.
**Interviewer:** You also pointed out that a rightward shift is happening globally. How do you see that aligning with a potential Trump victory?
**Roberto Arditti:** Absolutely. We’re witnessing a rise of right-leaning figures in various countries, including Italy and Argentina. A Trump victory could energize this movement and lead to a more cohesive international right, creating a platform for unified action on issues that resonate with these countries. It would be a remarkable opportunity for right-wing forces worldwide to collaborate more effectively.
**Interviewer:** Some critics say Trump’s presidency could threaten democracy. What is your response to those concerns?
**Roberto Arditti:** Those claims seem exaggerated, especially considering Trump’s past presidency. His previous term, despite its controversies, wasn’t characterized by a coup or an erosion of democratic values. It’s essential to view his potential second term through a pragmatic lens, recognizing that he may have learned from past missteps and could govern more effectively.
**Interviewer:** Before we wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to add regarding Trump’s potential impact on Europe?
**Roberto Arditti:** I would just reiterate that a Trump presidency could represent a shift toward more assertive and independent policies in Europe, especially in matters of defense and immigration. It’s crucial for European nations to adapt to this new reality, ensuring they are not merely passive players in an era of global change.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Roberto, for sharing your insights with us today.
**Roberto Arditti:** Thank you for having me!
