Does Donald Trump Really “Run the World”? By Philip Giraldi

The best way to analyze Donald Trump is to ignore every word he says and concentrate exclusively on what he does. From Philip Giraldi at unz.com:

United States President Donald J. Trump, who somewhat hubristically claims that he “runs both the country and the world”, has created a political machine called MAGA, which stands for Make America Great Again. He has parlayed that instrument into electoral victory by pledging himself to improve the lives of Americans through shaking up the federal bureaucracy while also ridding the country of illegal immigrants and criminals. He has also focused on the enormous waste, in every sense of the word, that has resulted from what he calls by the name of his predecessor “Biden’s Wars,” referring to those conflicts in Asia and Europe as pointless.

The MAGA slogan was an effective marketing tool but the voting public would have been better advised to consider what Trump accomplished during his first term as president. In the area of foreign policy, with particular focus on war-making, he unwisely withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) negotiated by President Barack Obama which monitored and inspected Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program. Likewise, in 2019 he canceled participation in the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia, which has created something like an nuclear arms race in Europe that has advanced the scientists’ nuclear warning clock to the closest point to midnight that it has ever arrived at, suggesting that a tiny misstep could have devastating consequences up to and including nuclear annihilation. Trump also foolishly assassinated Iran’s General Qassim Soleimani who was on a peace mission in Baghdad Iraq in 2020 and struck Syrian targets with cruise missiles twice based on phony threat information produced by neoconservatives.

More recently Trump has bombed Iran in support of Israel, has assisted in the overthrow of the Syrian government, and has supported avoidable wars in both Ukraine and Gaza/Palestine. So it is pretty clear that Donald Trump is not a man of peace and it is also evident that he has negligible understanding of international politics and diplomacy, which he pretends to support but with little or no follow-through. He is also a man who believes in “When in doubt threaten to bomb them!” He has recently been making and citing plans to start nuclear war with Russia, quite possibly to prevent the release of the Epstein files which might contain devastating negative information on the president.
