Like all good magicians, Trump never reveals exactly how a trick works. Trump, the most underrated President in American history, comes off as oafish, prideful, unrefined, a bit of a bully, even a mercenary at times. And that’s what some of his supporters say! To voice that Mr. Trump regularly catches almost everyone off guard would be an understatement.
Trump Resetting the World Order:-
Trump’s actions of late should make everyone reassess any preconceived notions they may have of him and his plans not only for our country but for the world. Today’s essay will make the case that the Trump administration sees the world as connected and that it is wholly consistent to be for America First and to be forcefully involved in selected hot spots around the world, albeit picking our fights, resulting in minimal loss of blood and treasure. Mr. Trump’s strategy, not articulated to the general public but becoming increasingly clear to educated observers, is a resetting of the world order in America’s favor, done in such a way that our enemies won’t have the wherewithal to challenge us. We see the pieces coming together in the President’s strategy in:
1- Greenland
More generally, the Arctic. Strategic signalling that the U.S. is in an all-domain conflict with China and Russia, and won’t cede the theater to Russia, which dominates it today. Greenland’s mineral wealth is a huge plus, and it is ground zero for the future defense of the U.S. mainland against Russia’s hypersonic weapons. Think Golden Dome. Do we really want to trust European fickleness with our security?
2- Venezuela:-
Venezuela specifically, but the Western Hemisphere as a whole, is to become increasingly off-limits to all the usual subjects that have sought to diminish our power and prestige in our own backyard.
3- Iran:-
Historic moments don’t come along every day. If the Mullahs lose their power, the dynamics in the Middle East and the world will change for at least a generation as the threat level recedes, allowing us to focus attention elsewhere.
4- Russia/Ukraine:-
Great power dynamics create massive inconsistencies. Exactly as Russia tries to dominate Ukraine, its fortunes, both internal and external, are being drained like a depleted battery. If Europe and the United States continue to foil Putin’s plans, Russia, too, will be in play, as we see with Iran at the moment. Russia’s on the clock!
5- Denial of China Superpower:-
Sub-Saharan Africa, West Africa, and the Sahel—suppression of terrorism, denial of our enemies’ training areas, and pushback against China’s quest to become a world superpower. And always increased access to more and more energy, which drives down ordinary Americans’ cost of living.
6- Israel
The only Democratic power in the region and now undisputably, America’s proxy sword. Israel’s technology can be counted on to help the U.S. defend itself in its quest to reset the table through technological and economic superiority. Israel is becoming America’s essential partner, much like Europe used to be.
7- Canada and Mexico:-
Canada and Mexico—in a nod to WWII Japan’s Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere—Trump’s doctrine seeks to dominate its nearest neighbors into becoming essential partners in America’s success and, by doing so, ensure the safety, protection, and economic stability of our neighbors.
8- Taiwan:-
Taiwan—in the same manner as Ukraine, places China on defense. Just as we have seen the once vaunted Russian conventional forces as hollow, China is even weaker in proven tactical doctrine, combined arms execution, maneuver warfare, and command and control, to name just a few deficiencies or unknowns. Taking Taiwan is not a certainty, and failure would be fatal to the ever-cautious leaders in Beijing.
9- Identification of Systematic Fraud:-
Trump has identified that systematic fraud is the equivalent of a metastasizing cancer in our country, keeping millions from accepting work they deem beneath them, and encouraging a system of lawlessness and sloth. Systematic fraud is a signal that our system has broken down. Trump plans to eliminate it and thereby return pride, thrift, family, and accomplishment to ordinary Americans.
10- Europe:-
Trump has finally accomplished the turnaround he demanded in his first administration; Europe is on the road to defending itself and to returning to being a reliable partner to the U.S. in defending Western interests. Less certain (but early signs show some promise) is whether it will be able to expunge its Woke and DEI elements that encouraged Muslim immigration and are seeing the consequences as highly fertile Muslims begin to dominate Europe while holding on to the traditions and tendencies of the countries they emigrated from.
The Trump doctrine (Trumpism) revisits the Cold War theory of falling dominoes: at its core, Trump’s strategy is that everything, domestically and internationally, is a form of connective tissue. From raging AWFULs to abysmally low reading and writing scores to millions of people dropping out of the workforce, living off the dole, or even worse, slaves to untreated mental illnesses or drugs. America can’t be productive with the drag of society unfocused on what it takes to be successful, and America’s necessary place in the world to anchor it all.
Conclusion:-
With our domestic house back in order, we still face a world in disarray, highly fragmented and less willing to follow America’s lead. Note the existential threat posed by BRICS, an organization specifically designed to reduce U.S. dominance, especially in global finance. The formation of BRICS can be directly tied to the vacuum created by Democratic presidents who literally “Led from behind.” Trump is plugging that hole and reasserting dominance in a manner that Japan and Germany ultimately faced when they were overwhelmed by the Allies, but to a large degree by the U.S., which could outproduce them while their ability to compete and meet the threat was constantly diminishing, as we brought the fight to them while they could not. It is in precisely this manner that a coordinated American strategy that meets all threats, everywhere, all at once will be too much for our enemies to match.
This is the Trump strategy.
God Bless America!
