Kamala Harris lost the presidential election, but one of her campaign slogans was vindicated in defeat. «We're not going back!» the Democratic nominee insisted on the campaign trail, and she was unintentionally correct: Donald Trump's return to power is proof that we have lived through a real turning point in history, an irrevocable shift from one era to the next. In Trump's first term, he did not look like a historically transformative president. His victory was narrow. He lacked real majority support. He was swiftly unpopular and stymied and harassed. Even if his 2016 upset proved that discontent with the official consensus of the Western world ran unexpectedly deep, the way he governed made it easy to regard his presidency as accidental and aberrant — a break from a «normal» world of politics that some set of authority figures could successfully reimpose.

Rahul Gandhi compared Prime Minister to US President Joe Biden on Saturday, saying both have 'memory' challenges. «My sister was telling me that she heard Modi ji's speech where he has been speaking the same thing that we have been speaking all along. I don't know, maybe he has memory loss. Like the former US President of America (Biden) used to say something here and there. He had to be reminded from behind that you should not be speaking this, you need to be speaking this,» said Gandhi. He added, " There the Ukraine President had come (to visit Biden in the US) and the US President spoke of the Russian President Putin had come, then people from behind had to tell him that it was the Ukraine President who had arrived, he (Biden) had a memory loss. Similarly our Prime Minister is suffering from memory loss. I don't know he might even come and claim that the state government is giving you Rs 7,000 per quintal on Soybean," said Rahul Gandhi while addressing a campaign rally in Amravati.

Donald Trump's transition team is planning to kill the $7,500 consumer tax credit for electric-vehicle purchases as part of broader tax-reform legislation, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters. Ending the tax credit could have grave implications for an already stalling U.S. EV transition. And yet representatives of Tesla — by far the nation's biggest EV maker — have told a Trump-transition committee they support ending the subsidy, said the two sources, speaking on condition of anonymity. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, one of Trump's biggest backers and the world's richest person, said in July that killing the subsidy might slightly hurt Tesla sales but would be «devastating» to its U.S. EV competitors, which include legacy automakers such as General Motors.

United Nations and other international organizations are bracing for four more years of Donald Trump, who famously tweeted before becoming president the first time that the 193-member UN was «just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time.» In his first term, Trump suspended funding for the U.N. health and family planning agencies, withdrew from its cultural organisation and top human rights body, and jacked up tariffs on China and even longtime U.S. allies by flaunting the World Trade Organization's rulebook. The United States is the biggest single donor to the United Nations, paying 22% of its regular budget. Trump's take this time on the world body began taking shape this week with his choice of Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York for US ambassador to the UN. Stefanik, the fourth-ranking House member, called last month for a «complete reassessment» of US funding for the United Nations and urged a halt to support for its agency for Palestinian refugees, or UNRWA. President Joe Biden paused the funding after UNRWA fired several staffers in Gaza suspected of taking part in the Oct 7, 2023, attack led by Hamas.
