Commentary
The world knows Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States and the most polarizing figure in American politics today. So why did he get elected? How do his policies help America? And what did his presidency mean for the world? The EpochTV documentary “Trump 2024: The World After Trump” seeks to provide the answers.
Globalism and the New World Order

The film explains the concept of the “New World Order,” a phrase coined by George H.W. Bush after the Berlin wall fell. Mikhail Gorbachev, Pope John Paul II, and George H.W. Bush announced the term following their meeting. It refers to globalism, a movement to create one centralized world government with no borders and no state sovereignty. Under a globalist system, the economy, the law, and the government would be run by a small group of elites who have the power to control everyone and everything. For example, the European Union comprises 27 member states and is run by unknown bureaucrats from one centralized place—Brussels, Belgium. According to the film, few people know who these bureaucrats are or what they do. Moreover, they are unelected and, therefore, not accountable to anyone. The documentary says that America will be fundamentally transformed if the left prevails in establishing a globalist system.
Of the 17 Republican candidates in the 2016 presidential election, it was Donald Trump who began talking about the New World Order. He labeled the current political establishment corrupt and called for it to be replaced with a new government run by We the People. In addition, he pulled the United States out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Paris Climate Accords during his four-year tenure. The film notes that although Trump believed in cooperation and getting along with other countries, he would not support policies that would aid in turning America into a globalist nation and losing its own sovereignty and power.
The documentary explores various policies Trump enacted that gave strength and prosperity back into the hands of the American people. It makes the case that Trump’s presidency paused the globalist agenda. According to the film, without Trump, the American people would have woken up one day and realized their freedom was gone without even knowing it was under threat.
Saving America From Socialism
The film examines socialism, the practice of taking people’s earned money and giving it to people who didn’t earn it. It notes that socialism isn’t about free college or free health care, it’s about control. According to the EpochTV documentary, the Democratic Party has turned into the Socialist Party—with some members even identifying as Democratic Socialists. The film shows how Venezuela was the most prosperous country per capita in the world until it became a socialist nation. Now people in Venezuela are starving, and their money is valueless. If socialism achieves its goals in America, America will cease to be great.
At a very critical time, Trump stopped the policies enacted by his successors that were leading the United States down a path towards globalism, communism, and socialism. The speakers in the film attribute this to the strong opposition Trump faced from establishment elites. The episode says Trump brought America back to the very things progressives want to be gone forever. The left is opposed to Christian values, capitalism, and the constitution. Trump recognized that those were the same elements that made America great and began bringing them back into politics again.

Pro-Israel Policies
The film talks in depth about the biblical history of Israel and why a pro-Israel stance is so critical to many conservatives. In contrast to many leftist policies, Trump’s actions were very pro-Israel. For example, he officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, which former presidents had been unwilling to do since 1995. According to the documentary, Trump was pressured not to follow through with this move. Nevertheless, Trump said he did it because he had promised he would and because it was the right thing to do.
Defending Border Security
The film discusses Trump’s work on border security, prioritizing preventing terrorism and human trafficking. According to the film, an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants live in the United States. It states that without borders, there is no national sovereignty. While socialist countries put up walls to keep people in, capitalism puts up walls to keep dangerous people out and make sure good people can come in.
Pro-Life President
Donald Trump was unapologetically pro-life, being the first American president to attend the annual March for Life rally in Washington. The film references the racist origins of abortion, with many in the south supporting abortion during the 70s as a means to control the African-American population. Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger is quoted saying, “We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the negro population.” Abortion is the number one killer of African-Americans in the United States. The film also points out that 30 percent of Hispanics voted for Trump, saying it was due to his pro-life stance. Most notably, Trump’s Supreme Court Justice appointments led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Keeping His Promises

The speakers interviewed in the EpochTV episode address the character and integrity of the 45th president. They say he kept his promises at a time when the American people had stopped expecting politicians to do so. Although Donald Trump receives much criticism for various personality traits, the episode argues that keeping one’s word, or failing to do so, is a character quality worth noting.
They describe him as courageous. They say he knows what he wants to do, and he does it. Although many leaders fold in the face of opposition, Trump didn’t appear to do that during his presidency. Despite his blunt honesty and aggressive demeanor, those in the film who know the president personally speak about his humility, his ability to listen, and how deeply he cares for others. The episode points out that everyone has flaws and that God uses flawed people because that’s the only type of person that exists.
Whether hated or admired, the episode shows that Donald Trump is a leader, truthful, and has done crucial work for the country. The documentary concludes that America is the greatest nation ever to exist and that if We the People fail to elect candidates that fight for freedom, we will eventually lose that freedom forever.
