During his "My Take," Tuesday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney analyzed the "changing" geopolitical landscape ahead of Trump's presidency, arguing that in the five weeks since the election, America has a new image and the incoming "sheriff" is projecting power.
STUART VARNEY: "Iran Suffers Blow of ‘Historic Proportions’ with Assad's Fall," so says The Wall Street Journal, and they're right.
Bashar al-Assad had been very useful to the Mullahs, and now he's gone. But wait, it gets worse.

The Iranians now have to deal with Donald Trump. Their economy is in shambles. They've wasted their money supporting terror and many of their own people are in revolt.
Trump's not likely to show much sympathy. Things are changing fast. Then there's Russia, also suffering a major set back in Syria.
Putin's military uses Tartus, a warm water port on Syria's Mediterranean coast. It's his only overseas naval base. Well, over the weekend, all the warships sailed away.
It's humiliating for Putin. His military couldn't keep Assad in power. In fact, they were so weak, they never even tried.

That doesn't do much for your prestige. Trump is taking note. So much is changing.
Iran and Russia are in retreat. Putin and Zelenskyy are edging towards at least talking about peace.
China, clearly rattled by Trump's threat of sanctions. Mexico and Canada are very nervous about Trump and the border.
In the five weeks since the election, America has a new image. The incoming sheriff projects power.
This is all taking place as President-elect Trump transforms the government. The bureaucracy is on the chopping block. Fossil fuels are making a comeback. Capitalism is OK again.

It's exciting. The mood seems to have shifted. Kamala Harris' campaign was negative. Trump was positive.
Make America great again. He's off to a good start.
