Editorial: Le Monde

• Donald Trump had a bad night in the elections of 4th November, with Democrats winning in various parts of the United States.
• The gains that Republicans made among Latinx and African American voters were rapidly erased.
• The current shutdown of the federal government, the longest in the history of the United States, is seen by voters as the responsibility of the Republicans.
• The Supreme Court's ruling on the legality of tariffs, a key element of Trump's mandate, could have devastating consequences for Trump's image.
• Trump is pushing ahead with his controversial interpretation of the elections, including a combative attitude towards political life and the imposition of a unilateral trade war.
• The economy, once Trump's strong point, has become a weakness.
• The perceived message is that the United States' democracy is being threatened by the exercise of power by Republicans.

Conclusion: The elections have served as a serious warning to a president who will not be able to run for elections in 2028.
