Donald Trump: Unpresidented

in #trump7 years ago

If someone from 2009 was shown the quotes1 and outbursts of Donald Trump from the last couple of months, he or she would be shocked. Devastated even. The correct word for his term is unprecedented. Or as I like to put it: unpresidented.

The entire storm he created around his personality seems to be getting worse and worse. Every time when the public thinks "this must be the worst a president has ever said or done" he takes it to the next level.
However this may be my opinion, Trump is different than every single one of his predecessors. He even differs from many other world leaders as well. He is totally undiplomatic, something which can be dangerous when dealing with leaders like Kim Jung Un from North Korea. Leaders who are used to more diplomatic communication than outing personal opinions on Twitter.
A great example is the undermining of the entire nuclear deal with Iran, in which former President Obama and his staff put a lot of effort.2 Let alone the Paris climate accord.

On the other hand, let's look on the bright side. Maybe this presidency can shake up American politics and even world politics. Let this presidency be a wake-up call for the entire world: "Look at the US, their president is totally incapable of getting anything done and he still got elected." Something needs to change. That change is something that could happen after the Trump presidency. He will definitely run for his second term in 2020. In my opinion, his chances of re-election are pretty small. However, there is one scenario in which Trump could get re-elected. His opponents could underestimate Trump. Trump has proven to be extremely effective in his campaigning with help from Roger Stone for example (watch the impressive documentary on Netflix "Get me Roger Stone").3 The tactics Trump used during his campaign did not only destroy his fellow Republican candidates but also Hillary Clinton.

To end on a positive note, the coming years until the 2020 campaign will be tough for the entire world. I do not think that Trump will be impeached unless he does something more unreasonable than he has already done. The next generation of politicians must then stand up and show what changes they have got to offer. They will hopefully take the world back to progressive politics.
