Donald Trump Is the End of the Modern Era
The post-WWII world order of American dominance is over. Donald Trump proves it.

We are at the end of the American Century and the Third American Republic that emerged 80 years ago. Now the question is, what will the Fourth American Republic and new global order look like?

‘Medicare for All’ still big. “In a survey of 1,207 likely voters [from] Nov. 14–17, 2025, ...65% of voters [supported] a Medicare for All system, described as a ‘national health insurance program... that would cover [everyone] & replace... private health insurance...’" jacobin.com/2025/11/medi...
Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the neglected idea among Americans across the political spectrum.

Donald Trump just had the most lucrative year of his life. The president is now worth a record $7.3 billion, up from $4.3 billion in 2024, when he was still running for office.
No president in U.S. history has used his position of power to profit as immensely as Trump.

Republicans are trying to sneak a provision into the annual defense spending bill to block states from passing AI regulations — a direct ask from Big Tech lobbyists who only care about their own profits, not your safety.
It’s a ridiculous proposal.

The stock market's gains are being overwhelmingly driven by seven Big Tech companies who have invested heavily in AI, which has made tech oligarchs even wealthier.
But when that AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag.
Be warned.
