Trump’s 100 Days: Global Embarrassment, American Crisis
Donald Trump’s second term has been marked by erratic behavior and increasingly unbelievable actions, including a public plea to Vladimir Putin and fantastical proposals regarding Canada and Gaza. His erratic foreign policy, characterized by contradictory actions and a lack of serious international engagement, has rendered him a global embarrassment, even as he holds immense power. This lack of seriousness, exemplified by his unrealistic ambitions, has led to a global perception of him as a hapless loser, despite his considerable power and potential to cause further harm. The world largely views Trump’s presidency as a self-inflicted wound, a boon for centrist politicians globally, and a source of embarrassment for fellow right-wing populists.
