Donald Trump- Back to Machiavellian Approach

written by: Laaroussi Abdelghafour

His Honour The President, Donald Trump, the famous real-estate mogul, englobes different features of different types of politicians. We can depict him as The ‘Faithful’ Politician, The ‘Cow Boy’ Politician, and somewhat  The Machiavellian  . His honour sounds the man who diligently want to serve the community he is representing. He sounds generally direct and plain-speaking. Some may accuse him of being careless with polemic words and saying questionable things at times. Some others may feature him as stubborn and unwilling to accept alternative viewpoints. It is true that he looks more Machiavellian, charismatic and imposing when dealing with conflicting issues.

The Trumpian discourse uses foreign policy as a platform to visualize The president as an incredibly decisive, somewhat Machiavellian, and diplomacy rule-breaking leader. His polemic speeches  redirect attention and resources to problems most pressing. He is a leader who believes he is mandated to build performance shifts using his trusted blueprints and rulebooks of which people must obey to the latter. This strategy can work well in the short-term, but it could be temporary because it is heavily reliant and dependent upon one person – the “chosen one.” And as soon as the Surgeon leaves, This performance could crash back to earth.
