In many US cities, people flock to the streets, celebrating Joe Biden’s election victory. Four years of Trump are behind them, relief is rampant. And Trump continues at full speed to completely dismantle himself. What a week, what a year, what an era. Since Donald Trump took office on January 20, 2017, hardly a day has passed without headlines, without breaking taboos, without lies. The man, who is considered to be the most powerful in the world, kept this world in suspense with insults from his opponents, with irritating cordiality for Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un as well as half-truths, twisted facts and open lies on any topic. In the end there was even fear that he might attempt a kind of coup and undermine American democracy. CNN commentator Van Jones sobbed through tears that it was easier to be a father again. Now you can tell your children again that character is important. That it takes revenge if you lie or do something wrong.

Team continues to insist on complaints Klouth: “Trump will not give up without a fight”

It’s one of those moments that many will remember forever. Where were you when Joe Biden won the election? Trump himself was, as so often, on the golf course. Of course, he did not yet acknowledge his defeat, nor was that to be expected. He wants to keep fighting, believes he can somehow make it, grabbing every legal straw that loyal people like his lawyer Rudy Giuliani hold out to him. But recounts in the lost states of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are unlikely to turn things around. At most a few hundred invalid votes could be found this way, says election expert Chuck Todd from TV station NBC News. And an apparently clean election can hardly be challenged in court. So it’s really over. Even Fox News turns away. Like CNN and the major broadcasters ABC, NBC and CBS, the long-standing mouthpiece of Trump called his opponent Biden the winner in the morning. It had previously become clear that he had won Pennsylvania after all. This ended a crazy week that could hardly have been more exciting. Only the big surprise on Wednesday morning when Trump was in the lead in several decisive states by a huge margin. Then Biden’s seemingly unbelievable race to catch up, which wasn’t because the millions of postal votes were already there. The moment he spun Wisconsin and Michigan, took the lead in Georgia, eventually Pennsylvania won the election.

With Trump everything shines golden

For days the triumph of the always modest Biden, the former Vice President of Barack Obama, the longtime senator who came to the top from a small background, has been heralded. What a contrast to Trump! The millionaire son from New York, born with the golden spoon in his mouth, cocky, ostentatious, rowdy in every fiber. Almost everything in his penthouse in Trump Tower on New York’s Fifth Avenue shines golden: chair legs, window frames, column capitals. And some claim that even the toilet is gilded. Biden, on the other hand, likes to talk about growing up on a small scale in Scranton, Pennsylvania. What it’s like to sit at the kitchen table brooding over the bills. What it’s like to be marginalized because you don’t have enough money in your pocket.

Quite a turbulent tenure that was Trump’s four years

And yet, what an irony in history, it was that Trump who was chased by the impoverished, dollar-fighting men and women in the north, south, east and west of the United States. Because he promised them exactly what they wanted to hear. Because he wanted to bring the jobs back. Because he wanted to close the borders. Because as a businessman he had proven that he could do something, right? Because he can’t be bought as a billionaire, right? Just like all these professional politicians in distant Washington, by whom they felt betrayed and sold. It took someone like Biden to win back at least a few of these people. One who understands them, one of them. At first glance he has succeeded: he has recaptured Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, states with strong working-class traditions. And no other president ever got more votes than him. But the truth is also: After Biden, nobody ever got as many votes as Donald Trump in the same election. Nobody can claim that the Americans chased him from the court. Although Biden has received an impressive four million more votes at the moment, almost half of the country wanted to hold on to Trump. Despite the mismanagement of the Corona crisis, despite his inability to find words of comfort during the George Floyd protests – and despite everything else. In the TV duels, Biden often only had to retell what Trump had done and an imploring “Come on!” to postpone. That was how obvious his failure was.

“Pack your shit and go” Trump was defeated in golf

American and local experts have been discussing for a long time why many stuck to him. Often the word comes out of the culture war. Then it is said that the liberal elites in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles only think about things like the rights of homosexuals, blacks and minorities and allegedly have only contempt, at best pity, for the people “out there in the country”. Hillary Clinton once called the supposedly forgotten middle class “pitiful” – a word that fell like a match on a gasoline puddle. For those Americans who do not want their religion to be belittled. For those who find it traditionally American to be allowed to carry weapons. Those who believe everyone should take care of themselves and condemn anything but socialism. For her, Trump was her man. That he has nothing in common with you? Anyway, he fights for us, it was said then. Trump did not create these cultural rifts, he only used them for himself. And the trenches are deep. Intellectuals are seriously debating whether it would not be better if the United States split into two countries. Others fear a civil war. Will Biden be able to calm things down? It won’t be easy. But it’s a good sign that he’ll want to try. And he has one thing in common with Trump that is seldom noticed: He, too, represents the good old days. A time when you thought you had a fair chance, even if that was mostly true for white and male Americans. A time when Republicans and Democrats were still compromising. When it wasn’t always just “we” and “they”.

In any case, his first speeches felt like balm on the wounds that Trump left. And also a little expected, almost a little boring. But it is a good boredom, one of the soothing kind that promises calm. Nobody believes that as of January 20, when Biden takes over, rainbows will instantly appear everywhere. That will not happen, by the way, not even in the relationship between the USA and Germany and Europe. But you can talk to each other again. You can negotiate, argue, convince. You can go back to politics. Everything that went down between tweets, insults and yelling in the past four years. “It’s morning in America,” said a legendary commercial for Republican icon Ronald Reagan. Is that it now too? At least it feels a little like that.
