Nournews: The current trend in Trump’s and his associates’ policymaking—particularly regarding foreign wars—has become one of the defining features of his presidency. Using the media and selective reporting, Trump daily markets wars to the public, portraying a Hollywood-like image of U.S. military successes. This image, which is in fact distorted and selectively presented, serves little more than to satisfy Trump personally, rather than reflect battlefield realities. This process obscures the truth and distorts the realities of war, while the costs are directly borne by the American people and the world.
In reality, Trump’s associates—who mostly pursue personal interests and flattery of the president—play a decisive role in this process. Figures such as Senator Graham and pro-Israeli lobbying groups, influential in various U.S. political arenas, seek to advance their specific interests. These groups not only disregard U.S. national interests but, in pursuing their warmongering agendas, contribute to escalating global crises.
Trump’s Narcissism and Inability to Confront Reality
One major cause of the complexity in Trump’s war policies is his narcissism and excessive need for approval and flattery from his circle. Instead of confronting the realities of the battlefield, Trump relies on manipulated and selective reports prepared solely to please him. This approach not only distorts U.S. war policies but also creates a false image of wars in the public’s mind.
While trapped in his own mental world, Trump is unable to recognize the serious errors in his war policies. Daily video reports, released selectively and focusing only on hypothetical victories, deceive public opinion and establish a misleading perception of battlefield conditions. This detachment from reality not only fuels global distrust toward the United States but can also exacerbate dissatisfaction and crises in different regions of the world.
Crisis Generation in Trump’s Global Policies
One consequence of Trump’s “selling of wars” is the escalation of global crises. In conflicts such as Gaza, Iran, Ukraine, and other regions, Trump has managed to portray an illusory image of U.S. military success. However, these portrayals—largely based on selective and distorted reporting—have no real connection to battlefield realities and only serve to intensify crises and global instability. This has imposed heavy costs, both for the countries involved and for the United States itself.
Meanwhile, Iran, which has in no way retreated from its principles and conditions in the face of threats, continues to counter Trump’s warmongering policies. The Strait of Hormuz, as a strategic and vital point in global calculations, remains under Iran’s intelligent management and will not return to its previous state. This factor affects not only Iran’s national security but also regional and global security.
Trump and Failed Global Strategies
Trump’s insistence on pursuing wars, especially when realities indicate that the situation is not in America’s favor, has led to major failures and miscalculations. While Trump continues to “sell” selective and unreal victories daily to public opinion, he is in fact caught in a vortex of grave errors. These miscalculations have reduced global trust in the United States and weakened its standing in the international arena.
Trump’s global behavior has not only damaged America’s credibility but has also contributed to instability and multiple crises worldwide. Reliance on warlike and crisis-driven policies, which have no real vision of peace or security, harms the United States and prevents it from playing an effective role in maintaining global order.
