Living in the era of Donald Trump
Daily FT
|January 05, 2026
IN the years to come, the world will be defined as the eraBefore Donald Trump and After Donald Trump.
-
The tycoon turned politician and now the 47th President of the United States of America, Trump has torn the rule book on world order for decades and thrown it miles out of the window.
Being the incumbent of the most powerful office in the world in an era when social media is what swings public opinion, he and his team have used these tools to directly communicate with the public and has won over a majority of the American population and also grudging admiration worldwide. His actions have left even the closest US allies bamboozled and struggling to keep pace with the man.
The latest action of flying US troops into Venezuela, capturing the country’s President Nicolás Maduro and flying him to the US to face charges for drug and weapons offences is straight out of a Hollywood movie than an actual government sanctioned operation but then this is the era of Donald Trump and one has to expect the most unexpected happenings to take place.
