Although democratic systems are in place in most countries today, the methods and practices followed in these democracies are not the same everywhere. However, regardless of the differences in practices, the core principle of democracy is that a government is formed through the direct or indirect vote of the people. Despite numerous debates for and against democracy in political science, democratic systems are considered the best approach for a country's development; however, significant progress can also occur under autocratic rule. In some Middle Eastern Muslim countries, there is no democracy, no accountability, and no freedom of speech for citizens, yet development continues. Therefore, judging democracy solely by development is not appropriate.

Where is Trump's foreign policy headed?

Donald Trump is the 47th President of the United States. Presidential elections are pivotal in American politics, offering a reflection of voter sentiment toward various policies, economic programs, foreign relations, and global trade strategies. Without waiting for the final election updates, Trump announced himself as "President" in front of enthusiastic supporters in West Palm Beach, Florida. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris, who was also prepared to deliver a victory speech, refrained from doing so when it became apparent she wouldn’t win.
