Three Key Takeaways:
- Gordon Brown warns that Donald Trump’s America First agenda is threatening the globalist order, focusing on his unpredictable policies and trade tactics.
- Brown’s fear stems from Trump’s dismantling of free trade and international institutions, with global elites rallying against his rise, despite public support for his approach.
- The former UK Prime Minister’s comparison of Trump’s policies to the 1930s and calls for global unity reveal the desperation of elites to retain control over international affairs.
The global elite are in full panic mode.
Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown just revealed what’s really keeping them up at night.
And Brown just exposed how terrified globalists are of Donald Trump’s America First agenda.
Former British Prime Minister launches desperate attack on Trump policies
Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is sounding the alarm about President Donald Trump’s economic policies in a fear-mongering new op-ed.
Brown, who presided over Britain’s economic collapse during the 2008 financial crisis, suddenly believes he’s qualified to lecture America about economic policy.
“After a week that started with the worst financial volatility in recent history and ended with the most serious escalation so far of the China-US conflict, it is time to distinguish the tectonic shifts from the tremors,” Brown wrote.
The failed Labour leader made wild comparisons between Trump’s tariff policies and global catastrophe.
“If nothing changes, the 2020s risks being remembered as this century’s devil’s decade – the term historians once used for the 1930s,” Brown claimed without evidence.
What really bothers Brown isn’t Trump’s economic approach – it’s that Trump is successfully dismantling the globalist order that elites like Brown helped build.
“Indeed, before our eyes, every single pillar of the old order is under assault – not just free trade but the rule of law and the primacy we have long attached to human rights and democracy,” Brown complained.
Brown reveals what globalists really fear about Trump
Reading between the lines of Brown’s hand-wringing reveals what truly terrifies globalists about Trump’s leadership style.
“But Trump’s sheer unpredictability foreshadows even greater danger ahead. ‘Let chaos reign and don’t rein in the chaos’ seems to be the mantra,” Brown lamented.
The former Prime Minister is horrified that Trump can’t be controlled by the international elite.
“Instead, with both the US and China taking risks in accelerating their confrontation to new levels, the question is whether we are descending towards a ‘one world, two systems’ future,” Brown fretted.
What’s clear in Brown’s commentary is that he’s desperate to maintain a dying system that benefited global elites while ignoring American workers.
“President Trump’s tactical ploy has been to exploit the profound shifts that were already reshaping the world’s geopolitics,” Brown wrote, accidentally acknowledging that Trump is simply responding to real concerns.
Brown even admitted Trump’s social media tactics are effective, writing, “He also saw how, turbo-charged by social media blitzes landing nonstop via people’s phones, he could resurrect the ‘great man’ theory of history.”
Globalists scramble to counter Trump’s influence
Brown’s op-ed reveals how desperately global elites are working to undermine Trump’s influence across the world.
He highlighted how leaders from Spain, Brazil, South Africa, Malaysia, and Colombia are banding together in resistance to Trump’s America First policies.
“As a collective we must now unite to enforce international law,” Brown quoted the Malaysian Prime Minister and Colombian and South African Presidents as writing.
“The choice is stark: either we act together to enforce international law or we risk its collapse,” they warned dramatically.
Brown called for a “new multilateralism” – code for more unelected international bodies making decisions that should belong to sovereign nations.
He even suggested trying to manipulate Trump by “agreeing with him on the need for reciprocity and for fair burden-sharing between nations” while still pushing a globalist agenda.
Brown makes hysterical comparison to pre-World War era
In his most over-the-top claim, Brown compared Trump’s trade policies to conditions that led to world war.
“We remain at risk of repeating the 1930s descent into global anarchy; but by nations acting together, we could create a 1940s moment,” Brown warned ominously.
The former UK leader invoked the Atlantic Charter of 1941 and the UN Charter of 1945, suggesting a massive overhaul of international institutions is needed to counter Trump’s influence.
“A revolutionary moment in the world’s history is a time for revolutions, not for patching,” Brown quoted William Beveridge as saying.
Despite his fear-mongering, Brown inadvertently revealed that most Americans still support Trump’s approach of demanding fair treatment for the United States.
“Even if none of these goals are, as of now, championed by Trump, all is not lost: according to the US Global Leadership Coalition, 82% of Americans oppose isolationism, believing that the US is stronger when ‘engaged in the world’,” Brown pointed out.
What Brown fails to understand is that Trump isn’t isolationist – he simply demands that America be treated fairly in all international dealings, something globalists like Brown have failed to deliver for decades.
