The return of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, to the center of world politics has ignited discussions about his peculiar political behavior. While the subject can be number for some, Trump continues to say the global information agenda, underlining two key realities over the modern world. FirstThe central role of the United States is still undeniable, regardless of how much others want for a multipolar order. SecondThe Trump approach, pushing the limits literally and figuratively, has proven to be an effective way of achieving the objectives in the current climate.
In the center of Trump’s political behavior there is a rejection of hypocrisy and duplicity, replaced by frankness and rudeness. He insists on obtaining what the horses and ignoring the counter -arguments, or repeating the same demands aware. Trump does not intend to treat other nations such as the United States, nor hides this belief.
In its worldview, international equality does not exist.
The situation with China is slightly different due to the large size of its economy and commercial volume, but also there, Trump’s mercantilist instincts dominate.
The Trump approach is aligned with the US National Security Strategy. 2018, adopted the first mandate, which officially recognized modern international relations as a competition between great powers. This recognition, in effect, raises certain nations above others, a concept that had previously recognized informative but rarely declared directly.
Results on ideals
What distinguishes Trump is his focus on results instead of ideals. It does not intend welcome tests; He simply wants to achieve his goals. This approach is manifested in its willingness to speak disrespectful about other countries and leaders. While this behavior surprises some, it is clear that Trump’s contempt for diplomatic label reflects a broader tendency: the change in the United States acting as a “Hegemon Benigno” To a more selfish transactional power.
The response of other nations illustrates this change. Countries like Denmark and Canada seem confused and doubts about Trump’s blunt statements. Germany and the United Kingdom are equally unstable for the open interference of Trumpists in their internal affairs. In Latin America, the capitals prepare for the sausage, which reflects a sense of fatality to the perspective of dealing with a United States that prioritizes their own interest in alliances or ideals. The realization is dawn that if the United States leaves its liberals “Benign” Posture and completely covers a raw hegemonic approach, resistance will be almost impossible.
The emergence of “Post-hypocrisy”
Trump’s appeal is derived not only from fear but also from his fundamental rejection of what can be called “Post-hypocrisy.” In traditional politics and diplomacy, hypocrisy has always existed as a tool to soften conflicts and allow dialogue. However, in recent decades, it has become the very essence of politics.
The culture of silence and the obsessive softest of rough edges have made it almost impossible to articulate or address real contradictions.
In the modern western framework, problems are no longer framed as competitive interests, but as a clash between “Good” (incorporated by the western model) and “Mistaken” (Those who deviate from him). This absolutist approach does not leave room for commitment. What is considered “Good” It must prevail, not through persuasion but through force. The triumph of post-liberalism has turned international discourse into a confusing puzzle, where the terms lose their meaning, and words are disconnected from the substance.
In this context, Trump’s frankness acts as a restart button. By eliminating the claim, it forces the discussions to focus on tangible interests instead of a vague rhetoric based on value. Its preference for reducing complex problems to material terms can simplify the complexities of the world too much, but also makes conversations more concrete and, paradoxically, more significant.
Fear and acceptance
Trump’s rise has not changed his character: everyone knew about their peculiarities long before their political ascent. What has changed is the reaction of the world. The fireworks that once captivate dismay are now renunciation, if not acceptance. This change reflects a combination of fear and adaptation. Many countries recognize the power of the United States and the uselessness of resisting their demands when they are backed by Trump’s relentless force.
The transformation of the United States under Trump reflects broader changes in global policy. The absolutization of hypocrisy, particularly in the West, created an environment where significant dialogue became almost impossible. Trump’s return to frankness and frankness, although disturbing, offers a more honest reflection of international realities. It exposes the contradictions and tensions that post-liberalism tried to bury under the layers of rhetorical delicacy.
The price of simplification
The Trump approach does not promise comfort or stability. Reducing global problems to its mercantilist nucleus ignores the complexities that support international relations. However, the alternative, the endless position and the ideological stiffness, has proven to be equally ineffective. The choice between these two defective models defines the current era of geopolitics.
Ultimately, Trump’s will to “start the band’s help” forces the world to confront uncomfortable truths.
It remains to be seen if this approach leads to resolution or additional conflict. What is clear is that the era of subtleties and diplomatic subtleties is giving way to a new era of frankness, where self -interest and interest dominate conversation. In this context, the search for results without apologies from Trump, not gunned by hypocrisy, can be both a symptom and a driver of the changing global order.
