Trump or US national interest; Which are prioritized in policymaking? – Mehr News Agency Iranian and world news

‌Mehr News Agency, International Group, Hassan Shokouhi Nasab: Throughout the new US government, Trump’s positions and actions, especially his admirable remarks on himself, are always at the forefront of world media.

On the sidelines of a meeting with President El Salvador, Trump once again presented a strange picture of his personal abilities, claiming that the ICIO test was so high that he surprised the doctors. “They told me we didn’t see anyone to have so much Iko!”

Such remarks, rather than having a serious aspect of the political space, reflect his particular personality traits such as the need for admiration, narcissism and exaggeration.

Trump has previously described himself as “the best president of American history”. The claim has been repeated in lectures, interviews, and even his tweets and social networks entitled “Truth Sushal”. “No one has worked better for the United States than me,” said, for example, at an electoral gathering in the state of Ohio. “I am the best president who has seen this country.”

He also wrote in Truth Sushal in 2007: “I am the best president of American history. Even my enemies cannot deny it. ” Earlier in an interview with Fox News, he compared it to Abraham Lincoln, stressing: “Maybe I have even worked more for people than Lincoln.”

Political psychologists see Trump’s personality mixed with self -sacrifice, narcissism and constant need. Many analysts believe that his policymaking originates not from national interests, but from his psychological characteristics and personal desires.

In prestigious scientific polls such as SIENA University poll or C-Span rankings, the presidents such as Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt top the list, while Trump is not even among the top five US presidents.

The same gap between Trump’s personal image of himself and evaluating independent institutions is a testament to the bold impact of his personal psychology on his political discourse; The personality and behavioral characteristics that are clearly seen in the international arena.

Humiliating Zelanski; The cost of a deep understanding of Trump

The historic meeting of US President Donald Trump and his Vice President JD Venus with Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelkski in the White House became a sharp argument between them against world media, and Trump and his deputy humiliated their guests.

During the meeting, the US president shouted repeatedly in front of reporters at the presidential office over Zelksky. The US president called Zelnsky’s views “disrespect” and then threatened him and said, “If it weren’t for our weapons, this war would have ended very soon.” Either you have to agree or we will no longer interfere. You don’t have enough force, you can’t tell us if you want a ceasefire. Following the argument that even Zelksky was ridiculed by reporters, Trump expelled President Ukrainian and his accompanying delegation from the White House.

Trump’s treatment of Zelksky was a prominent example of personalizing foreign policy and prioritizing individual sentiment over American national interests. The result of this personal tension was a serious blow to international confidence in US foreign policy. The leaders of other countries have found that relations with the United States may be regulated not on national interests or diplomatic principles, but in accordance with the president’s personal evaluations and feelings.

Trump, who tends to recognize him as the only position that the greatest nodes of history is opened to him, could not disrespect Zelnsky’s literal tension; Like a dramatic agreement with North Korean leader Kim Jong -un, which took place in the first round of his government. Trump, as the first US president to stepped into North Korea, attempted to make the move a great achievement in American diplomacy. He has repeatedly emphasized that only with the power of his personality and his unique style, he has been able to bring the world’s most secluded country to the negotiating table.

But these meetings became a scene for Trump’s propaganda worldwide rather than a real and enduring agreement. Double photos, symbolic strolls and diplomatic smiles replaced accurate conversations and binding agreements. While these talks were expected to lead to North Korea’s nuclear disarmament, not only did the Pyongyang continued to develop a more constant nuclear program.

Pride

Trump’s tariff war, which began with heavy consequences on imports from various countries, was a reflection of his narcissism and personal desire to display power in the international arena, rather than responding to US economic challenges.

The US president has repeatedly used these actions as a promotional winning leaf without providing a specific economic plan and attempted to portray himself in the minds of American public opinion as a decisive and irreversible leader. But what happened in practice was the increase in costs for American consumers, tensions with business partners and instability in the world markets.

Trump’s claims of “begging” countries to negotiate tariffs, rather than based on diplomatic realities, reflected his extreme desire to see and instill a sense of superiority. He has repeatedly claimed in a ridiculous manner that countries such as China, Canada and European countries “do not know” to reach trade agreements, while many of these countries took counterattacks in response to his actions and limited trade relations with the United States.

In fact, Trump’s tariff policy not only failed to ensure long -term US economic interests, but also led to its relative distrust and isolation in the World Trade System. So that after China’s mutual action and tariffs more than 100 percent, the United States had to exempt more than 5 countries for five days, in other words, to temporarily retreat from the tariff war against the world.

In addition to the tariff debate, Trump’s claims about the annexation of Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Panama to the US along with the use of exaggerated language to describe imaginary successes are more rooted in Trump’s popular discourse and personal psychology than realistic analysis.

Final speech

An examination of various evidence from Donald Trump’s presidency, both in domestic and foreign policy, suggests that many of his decisions and behaviors have come from his particular personality traits rather than based on US strategic interests or precise political analysis. Narcissism, the overwhelming desire for public admiration, the tendency to exaggerate and the interest in creating dramatic achievements are evident in his place.

From his claim to his intelligence from all former presidents to his description as “the greatest president of American history”, they all have a personality who understands politics not as an effective governance, but as a scene for seeing.

Such an attitude has been reflected in Trump’s international interactions, both in the first government and in the first three months of the second government; Where he has made diplomacy an arena for globalism and, in the face of major global challenges, it has been sufficient to media gestures and superficial agreements rather than providing solutions to US national interests. As a result, personal decisions have replaced expert analysis, and this individual -based approach to politics has made US allies doubt about its stability and predictability.

Finally, it should be noted that actors who are confronted with Trump’s America and are seeking to communicate with the country should consider Trump’s personal and personality traits rather than analyzing US national interests.
