Trump: A Policy of Chaos

When America's social media policy oscillates in response to the pronouncements of its tweet-obsessed president, Trump, the superpower loses its prestige and balance, and its relationships and alliances with other countries are damaged. Since Trump assumed office as president of the United States, he has been undermining America's prestige through his tweets and statements, flexing his personal muscle as if he were running a real estate company whose assets he owns.

The world is not an investment firm, and heads of state and kings are not security guards for business deals, nor are they bullies used to attack rivals. The world is not run virtually via tweets on social media, and it is unbecoming for a superpower to be this way, which will cause it to lose its allies and its prestige and standing if it continues to be governed by the same approach it has adopted since the advent of Donald Trump.

Trump's new policy is not fit for a superpower ruling the world. Rather, it is fit for a gang headed by a mafia don who terrorizes its members by issuing orders and humiliating the weak, making the strong fear him. This is a losing trade in politics, as the world does not shrink in the face of a businessman accustomed to gambling and chance. Although the major powers are watching silently, they will not allow such decadence to prevail, and their silence will not last long in the face of this tampering with international destiny.

Trump, obsessed with virtual tweets, is obsessed with self-love, a preoccupation that has become a chronic illness. You'll find him issuing statements about ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the seizure of its land, its ruins and its riches. Then he tries slapping the Ukrainian president, extracting approval from the Jordanian king, and ignoring the French president, all of which has led to unprecedented recklessness on the part of anyone who has occupied the White House.

Trump is as volatile in his tweets as a broker offering a miserable trade, waving a stick and threatening anyone who doesn't buy his merchandise. In reality, he has no merchandise to sell, which only makes matters worse, as he wants to sell the world an illusion.

Deliberate insult and flexing one's muscles may be beneficial in bars and gambling halls, but it harms the prestige of a superpower and the policies of nations, which, if they continue in this chaos, will continue to descend into the abyss.

The world is not insignificant in the face of a businessman accustomed to gambling and luck. Even if the major powers are watching silently, they will not allow such decadence to prevail, and their silence will not last long in the face of this tampering with international destiny.
