Cory Alpert's Analysis of Trump's Presidency and Global Impact
This collection of opinion pieces by Cory Alpert for The Sydney Morning Herald critically examines Donald Trump's presidency during a hypothetical 2025-2026 timeline. The articles highlight significant tensions between Trump and his traditional evangelical base, particularly after he criticized the Pope and used religious imagery likening himself to Jesus. Alpert analyzes the domestic political fallout of prolonged military conflict, specifically a war with Iran, noting growing voter anxiety and internal administration disagreements with figures like Pete Hegseth. The commentary also explores Trump's strategic use of policy reversals to consolidate power and the establishment of aggressive immigration enforcement tactics. On the international stage, the texts discuss the profound implications of Trump dismissing thirty ambassadors, affecting allies like Australia, and contrast this with Australia's emerging global leadership in regulating big tech. Additionally, the articles touch upon the political maneuvering surrounding the release of Epstein-related files, suggesting these actions are part of a broader, often confusing, strategy to maintain control and distract from controversies.
