Donald Trump Redefines America’s Foreign Policy in Favor of America
The second coming of President Donald Trump was characterized by bated breath, as most Americans from both of the aisles, that is the Republicans and the Democrats, were unsure of how things will turn out, especially in relation to the Make America Great Again agenda of President Donald Trump. It is almost two months since Donald Trump assumed the leadership position of America, and there is no gainsaying the fact that the effects of his policies have negatively impacted the entire globe from Middle East to Asia, from Asia to Europe, and from Europe to Africa. What is prominent in his policies is their conformity to his America first agenda. When dissected, two important things standout, which are that to make America great again, America must cease from being looked at as the father Christmas country, while on the other hand, the foreign policy of America has ceased from that of being a donor country to become that of give and take.
According to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, Americans are not impressed with President Donald Trump’s stewardship of the economy, putting him underwater on the nation’s top issues even as he sees ratings among the best of his presidential career on other key priorities. As market slide and investors worry in response to Trump’s trade policies, a 56% majority of the public disapproves of his handling of the economy, worse than at any point during his first term in office. Similarly, his mass deportation project of illegal immigrants is seen by many as not different from chasing the homeless out of shelter into the streets during a serious winter time.
Most Americans, who voted for Donald Trump to become President, were not oblivious or uncertain of his characteristics, which include that of using pragmatism to achieve capitalism, and as can be seen in his imposition of tariffs on the goods coming from China, Canada, and Mexico. Because there is no smoke without fire, this action is bound to produce inflation and recession, if not in the immediate, definitely in the short-run or long-run. These unavoidable effects might not be in the interest of Americans, but they have nothing to do because that is what they chose on November 5th 2024. It is noteworthy also how Donald Trump and the Republicans, who claim to have much to do with the Christian religion, are quickly drifting out of the way by the introduction of policies that do not align, not being in conformity with the dictates of the Christian religion. A good example is how they have forgotten the biblical principles of what it takes to be blessed and the purpose behind being blessed by God, which is for the blessed to in turn, be a blessing to others.
“The deal brokered between America and Ukraine, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where America demands gaining access into the mineral resources of these countries that fit in for description as war-torn, before interventions toward helping to deescalate or achieve a complete ceasefire, with the help of America, which tied to their mineral resources, is not only unfortunate, it is also unbiblical.”
With the position of America in the global stage, one expects America to be a peace maker without any recourse to the mineral resources of the countries in need of help. For why then did God bless the country America, above all the other nations of the earth? The reason why the countries in question that are in need of America’s military intervention have no choice than to succumb to the dictates of America, only alludes to the saying that a drowning man, will cling even unto a serpent. Rather than America being seen as bargaining from the position of strength, it has been seen as bargaining from a position of weakness, and this action is nothing other than gambling with the global security, in the name of covetousness and greediness.
“Furthermore, how America under the watch of President Donald Trump has been handling the Middle East crisis pertaining to Israel and Palestine, as well as tilting towards Russia, which is not a democratic country, at the expense of Ukraine, which is a democratic country, is just the fulfillment of what the former Vice President Kamala Harris had told Americans in the course of her campaigns, which implies that the ego of Donald Trump is such that allows for the sacrificing of America’s pride at the cost of boosting his personal ego.”
As things are unfolding, politically and economically, America may end up losing its place in the committee of nations, as a beacon of light and the champion of democracy, if nothing is done to modify some of these policies of President Donald Trump. Our prayer is that America shall not fail, but remain as a source of encouragement and motivation, especially to the developing countries.
“In conclusion, juxtaposing the allegation that the USAID for decades had funded terrorism in Africa, including Nigeria, with Donald Trump’s obsession for the mineral resources of the war-torn countries, including Ukraine and DRC, points to one thing, that behind the unrest and terrorist acts that seemed to have defied all known solutions, especially in Africa, are the hands of the superpower countries, including America, and it is important to note that as fearful as reality is, it is not as fearful as the evasions of reality.”
Take cognizance also that “Kings have long arms but misfortune longer. Therefore, let none think of themselves out of reach,” is a wise saying of the wise. Ending the wars in Gaza, between Israel and Hamas, with a view to achieving a two-state solution, as well as the war between Ukraine and Russia, not only on the terms of and in favor of Russia alone, is a task that must be done, and America is in the best position to play the role of a mediator, who is not partial or taking sides, for with the measure that one measures out justice to others, the same and even more than that shall justice be measured out to him, and no man should play God. God bless America and may peace reign and abide in the world again.
