If we learn that there is one thing Donald J. Trump has learned over the past decade that he likes to talk big and carry a small stick. He is a man full of fanaticism and dominance, and he adopts both impulsively and tactically against friends and enemies. But if he suspects that there is a slight risk, he almost always fails to follow.
Over the years, he learned that he could convince many people to be the ultimate strongman. But in reality, he is weak and indecisive.
Trump sees himself as a hero, and I think that’s true for most people running for senior positions. But because he was still a young man, he has been obsessed with creating a manly image, inventing the role of a high-flying playboy and the king of the real estate world in New York. The roots of his aggressive, tough-minded manners are well documented, dating back at least to the 1970s and 1980s, when Roy Cohn, an evil former lawyer at the communist witch hunting committee of Joseph McCarthy, brought Trump under his wings.
Cohen advises Trump never admit any form of innocence or wrongdoing and pretending it is always right anyway. The suggestion has cost Trump a lot of money over the years as his business went bankrupt and he failed in one business after another. By the late 1990s, he was almost bankrupt. But Trump’s obsession with becoming famous and insisting that he never made a mistake convinced the public – and NBC’s TV executives – that he knew what he was doing. It provided him with a second act on TV, which ultimately provided for the White House.
However, that doesn’t mean being a warlike bragging is not the real ace. In his first book, The Art of Transaction , he tells a (possibly false) story about how he hit one of his teachers in his sophomore year. His classmates and teachers did not recall this incident. But Trump is almost certainly a child with discipline. After all, his father sent him to a military school. But he never lost his character.
Still, when you think about it, the only person Trump actually dominates on a personal level is all the women he is being beaten by trustworthy. While he must have been verbally insulted by many men, he always does this from the safety of a strong position. In fact, there is little evidence that he faces a bully like him. In fact, he respects other strong men on the world stage. In front of them, he contracted himself.
During the 2016 presidential election, Trump pretended to be an Iraq war critic and was a smarter way than the rest of the Republican region, especially former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who was the leader at the time. (There is no evidence that Trump is against the invasion.) At that time, Republican voters were embarrassed by Iraq’s collapse and were pleased to see someone assured that he would not be trapped in foreign debris but would dominate the world purely by allegedly skilled negotiations.
Trump is completely unprepared for the decision the president must make. In the first semester, his team included people who tried to tutor him. But they soon realized that he was unable to educate. He believed he knew everything he needed to know. It was obvious that not only was he unable to admit other circumstances, but he was unable to make reasonable decisions at all.
This is a particularly serious problem in foreign policy. He doesn’t understand any tricky and complex problems, so he mostly goes against his ex. Trump has long had grudges against President Barack Obama, who intends to reverse anything related to Obama, such as the Paris Climate Agreement and the Iran nuclear deal. Trump deals with our allies as if they were our opponents and opponents, as if they were our allies. He quarreled in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and its many member states, while cheering on Russia and North Korea and others. He found it easy to bully our friends. After all, they wouldn’t ask him to take some action and take unpredictable results like his opponents.
Now, nothing has changed and the stakes are higher during his second term. Two major wars are fierce – he promised to end on the first day of his tenure, apparently convinced that his good friend, Russian President Vladimir Putin, would be happy to be solid for him. That didn’t solve it. After being packed with everything no one has done for Israel, Trump is now slamming the American nose like Benjamin Netanyahu and fulfilling his long-standing dream of changing the Iranian regime.
Once again, Trump has no idea how to make a difficult decision. He is shaking whether he wants to take action and pay credibility for it, or avoid risks and fall into consequences on the contrary. His initial instinct was to join when he saw how Fox News celebrated the strategic genius of the Israeli strike. But then he got some counterattack from the Maga base, and heard that the Israelis wanted him to use it to blow up Iran’s underground nuclear facilities, which may not be able to do the job. Meanwhile, others pointed out that Iran is actually a powerful enemy, with 90 million men and a professional army that could shut down the Strait of Hormuz and destroy the world’s oil supply, hitting some of the 40,000 soldiers stationed in the area and even trying to get on the stage Terrorist attacks on American soil – The FBI may not be able to thwart because its focus has been redeployed to focus on expelling undocumented workers rather than counter-terrorism.
Of course, it’s a complex calculus as president. Trump is undoubtedly more confused than ever.
Trump’s former national security adviser and Iranian core Iran Hawk-John Bolton told The New York Times that in his experience, Trump was “crazy and excited” in the national security crisis, which is very credible:
“He talks to a lot of people, and he’s looking for someone who can talk magic,” Bolton said. “He’ll hear some voices and he’ll decide, ‘Yes, that’s what I believe.’ Continue until he has the next conversation.”
So far, Trump’s weakness and confusion in the face of authorized military operations has prevented him from acting against his strong man impulses. On Thursday, he made a two-week decision on Iran, hoping that something would come true and that he would not have to do anything. Hopefully this is the right thing for him.
