US Election 2024: Former Indian Ambassador to US Meera Shankar Speaks on India-US Ties Ahead

<p>The road to the White House goes through swing states, and that's why Pennsylvania's position on USA's political map becomes so important. The swing state boasts 19 electoral votes, the most among seven swing states. On Monday (Nov 4), both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump spent time in Pennsylvania to attract as many voters as they could in the final leg of campaigning. Both candidates know winning Pennsylvania solves half of their problems.</p>

<p>Trump himself said Tuesday night that if he wins Pennsylvania, he wins “the whole deal.”</p>

<p>“We win Pennsylvania, we win the whole deal,” Trump told Rich Zeoli Show on Philadelphia’s Talk Radio 1210 WPHT.</p>

<p>“We’re going to make this country greater than ever before, but you have to stay in line. And don’t let them slow ball you. You have an absolute legal right and get that vote in because if we win Pennsylvania, if we win the good old Commonwealth, we’re going to win the whole thing. We win everything,” Trump said.</p>

US Elections 2024: Donald Trump's Supporters React To Election Results

<p>In 2016, when Barron stepped onto the national stage for the first time, he was a 10-year-old shy and cherub-faced kid. But the most noticeable part of his appearance was his penchant for suits. And now he has transformed into a towering boy, taller than his father.</p>

<p>So let's talk about the "little Donald," who was termed the "most watched bachelor in the world" by his elder brother Eric Trump.</p>

<h2>The tallest Trump</h2>

<p>Barron Trump was born on March 20, 2006.</p>

<p>At the age of 10, Barron was already noticeably taller than most of the kids of his age. At present, according to Donald Trump, Barron's height is 6 feet 7 inches (And it's surely growing).</p>

<p>In many of the recent pictures, Barron was seen surpassing his father, who is 6 feet 3 inches. Barron is the tallest in the entire Trump family (And even outstretching many NBA players).</p>

<h2>The name: Barron</h2>

<p>Barron's name was given by Donald Trump, who liked the name for a very long time but never got a chance to use it for his other sons. He shared the idea of the name with Melania when she was expecting, but then Trump wanted to "take it away".</p>

<p>On The Oprah Winfrey Show, Trump said, "It’s a name I’ve always loved but I never dared to use. I gave the idea to Melania and then I was going to take it away at the very end and she said, ‘You can’t take it away! I’ve been calling him Barron while he’s been in my stomach and you just can’t take it away!’”</p>

<h2>Educational background</h2>

<p>After spending the early years at Columbia Grammar &amp; Preparatory School in New York, Barron was transferred to Andrew’s Episcopal School in Maryland.</p>

<p>After Trump began his presidential term in 2017, Barron remained in New York to finish his school years.</p>

<p>Barron graduated in May 2024 from the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida.</p>

<h2>Hesitant to enter the White House</h2>

<p>When Trump was first elected in 2017, he revealed that Barron was hesitant to leave New York and to shift into the White House.</p>

<p>Trump said the move was a "whole change of life" for him.</p>

<h2>The charismatic one</h2>

<p>Barron joined his father for an election rally for the first time in July 2024.</p>

<p>"He might be more popular than Don and Eric. So, Barron, it’s good to have you. He's had such a nice, easy life. Now, it’s a little bit changed,” Trump said, according to People.</p>

<p>Barron did not speak at the rally but just waved to the audience, and for that, he received a standing ovation from the crowd.</p>

<p>In the post by Melania on his first vote, an X user wrote, "I can’t wait to vote for him one day."</p>

I gave the idea to Melania and then I was going to take it away at the very end and she said, ‘You can’t take it away! I’ve been calling him Barron while he’s been in my stomach and you just can’t take it away!’” Educational background After spending the early years at Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in New York, Barron was transferred to Andrew’s Episcopal School in Maryland.

Barron graduated in May 2024 from the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Hesitant to enter the White House When Trump was first elected in 2017, he revealed that Barron was hesitant to leave New York and to shift into the White House. Trump said the move was a "whole change of life" for him. The charismatic one Barron joined his father for an election rally for the first time in July 2024. "He might be more popular than Don and Eric. So, Barron, it’s good to have you. He's had such a nice, easy life. Now, it’s a little bit changed,” Trump said, according to People. Barron did not speak at the rally but just waved to the audience, and for that, he received a standing ovation from the crowd. In the post by Melania on his first vote, an X user wrote, "I can’t wait to vote for him one day." (With inputs from agencies)

‘Most watched bachelor’: All about Donald Trump's youngest son Barron Trump

<p>Sometimes the context of an event is more important than the event in question. It might seem like a contradiction in terms but there's a strange subtext to Donald Trump's comeback term at the White House: A strong president need not mean a strong presidency.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While analysts are still splitting hairs on what made Democratic nominee Kamala Harris lose to the brash, rude, and officially convicted Trump, it is better to look ahead at what the difficult but convincing win might eventually mean for him, the US, and the world at large.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the real estate tycoon-turned-Republican leader made what looked like a victory speech, one could notice in his tone a sense of pragmatic conciliation that stood somewhat in contrast to his first time at the White House when his late-night announcements on the then Twitter (now X) and his combative hire-and-fire approach in dealing with aides made him an obnoxious figure.</p>

<p>Personalities don't change easily but it seems that now there will be a lot of "trying" as distinct from the definitive promise of "doing".</p>

<p>Can Trump seriously build a wall or boost troops at the Mexico border to stop illegal immigrants? Can he seriously fix inflation and the high cost of living? Questions like these need to be answered by administrative action that may not be easy to execute.</p>

<p>The Presidency is not just about what an elected leader does or tries to do but also about the circumstances in which he is functioning. On that count, Trump is up against odds.&nbsp;</p>

<p>True, the Republicans now control the Senate that decides key appointments and it almost looks like the Republicans will also take the House of Representatives in Congress, the US parliament. That makes money bills easier to pass. However, Trump's new term also faces a technological revolution in artificial intelligence and other fields that can have a disruptive effect on jobs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The strange thing is that employment data and high GDP growth show that the US economy is doing great but as a commentator put it, "It doesn't feel that way" because of high gas prices and mortgage rates.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While tax cuts can increase purchasing power for the average American, one cannot be too sure of how that can help beyond a point. A high budget deficit in which interest payments take away 23 per cent of government revenues is a key challenge.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The US's deficit-to-GDP ratio towers over other developed economies. Public debt is uneasily high. All these are ominous when the BRICS group of emerging economies has increased its cohesion and purpose and points to alternate currency arrangements that threaten the US dollar 's global leadership.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A potentially weaker dollar can complicate Trump's efforts to fix the economy for the average American.

<p>But if Trump, the Dealmaker, undermines other global economies, the US as a superpower may lose its edge, as it already has to a good extent. International diplomacy requires a set of skillsets that are not in alignment with Trump's personality or goals.&nbsp;</p>

<p>UK (Labour) and Canada (Liberals) now have governments whose ideologies and policies are not in tune with Trump's right-leaning rhetoric.

<p>California's technology tycoons and Hollywood stars, and a bunch of strong media entities with Democratic leanings, will question every step that Trump takes. Russia, China and an increasingly assertive India together spell a new-age BRICS that implies a new-look multilateralism in global democracy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From all indications, an inward looking Trump Administration may erode Washington's pre-eminent position in global diplomacy. Trump certainly means business but the context has changed. And that may prove difficult for his presidency.</p>
