Photo: AFP/ALEX WROBLEWSKI The dust is clearing and a look at the elections in the USA reveals a political earthquake of the century. The Democrats won both chambers of parliament and were even able to achieve success in Republican strongholds. The Republicans' strategy of relying on Trump loyalists has failed. And so in the coming months, large parts of the US right will distance themselves from Trump.

The starting signal was given by his vice president J.D. Vance. With almost superhuman speed, he stabbed Trump in the back on election night. On There was no point in turning the racism dial up to "full throttle" during the election campaign - the prices at the gas station and in the supermarkets remained the same, and people noticed that, and everyone blames Trump for it. It will be interesting to see what this also means for future relations with Israel.

And so the Maga ship begins to sink as the first rats jump off board. So that the media advantage of a vice presidency does not become a disadvantage for Vance's own presidential candidacy, he is now beginning to criticize Trump more and more.

The president could become a victim of his own principle, which he summed up in a comment about the previous Republican presidential candidate John McCain during the 2015 primary campaign: “He lost, and I never liked him that much after that. Because I don't like losers." The more ambitious part of his companions will follow this example.
