The year 2025 is characterized by parallels to George Orwell's dystopian novel '1984,' with leaders like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Xi Jinping creating fictionalized global powers. Trump is highlighted as a central figure, significantly altering domestic and international politics through actions such as withdrawing from the Paris Accord, supporting Israel, and imposing tariffs. Despite initial economic shocks and market downturns, the global economy adapted, though Americans experienced inflation and stock market volatility. Most tariffs were eventually adjusted, leading to market recovery.
