'You have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation', said Retired Navy Admiral William H. McRaven and former U.S. Special Operations Chief in 2017 about Trump, in front of the American Press, and in wake of the series of dramatic & disruptive events unfolding now, one can only respect and admire him even more than ever.Campaigning on the radical promises of MAGA & America First, sweeping domestic reforms & ending forever wars; Trump’s return to the White House for a second term in 2025 has so far been as destabilizing for America, as well as the entire world and the traditional world order, as it has proved to be disruptive & chaotic. After dismantling the global economic system & structures with his unnecessary trade wars and the use of trade as a weapon through 2025, Trump has effectively switched to the geopolitical arena in 2026, however, with largely the same agenda.Venezuela, in early 2026, was his maiden hunting ground in America’s historic backyard followed by his undermining of NATO with his threats & claims against Greenland while deriding the European allies, thereby, causing fissures within NATO. Spurred by Netanyahu, Trump also stirred up the hornet’s nest in Iran unnecessarily, intending to reshape the contours of the Middle East region, but has ended up only in humiliation while causing acute economic pain to millions globally.Trump’s radical weaponization of trade, overt imperialistic ambitions and geopolitical gambits & wars, however, are, clearly, a paradox & a huge trade-off between opportunities to dismantle & reshape everything ranging from trade systems, political regimes & the world order to suit his personal tastes & America’s perceived interests, and the economic well being & welfare of the world at large, including ordinary Americans.This detailed & comprehensive analysis, starting with Trump’s nomination for his first term in office, duly reveals & unravels as to how Trump’s actions are largely intended at serving the avarice & interests of America’s Oil & Gas industry moguls and American elites & ultra rich; his primary donors for the 2024’s Presidential election campaign; while putting millions of ordinary Americans and billions globally exposed to rising inflation, potential food shortages, stalling of economic growth & surging cost of living expenses.History will forever judge Trump for his radical & destructive policies, dangerous gambits, reckless & radical pursuits of extreme decisions while trying to rewrite history geopolitically, dismantling trade & economic systems, sowing chaos, disrespecting the revered American constitution & institutions, destroying the rules-based world order, undermining alliances & global security architecture and duly isolating America and repudiating international laws while simultaneously also serving the economic interests of a select few at the expense of the mere existence & well being of billions of ordinary people across the world fighting existentially for basics & mere survival at virtually the bottom of the economic pyramid...And that’s what has deservingly earned him the title of being the ’worst President ever in U.S. history’...
