Trump’s Ego and Geopolitical Illusions: How a Businessman Failed to End Middle East Wars
Everyone has an ego, but in politics and military strategy, a big ego can be a ticking time bomb. Donald Trump, the man who saw himself as a business wizard who could solve world conflicts like simple business deals, showed just how dangerous it is to mix ego with the harsh reality of global politics.
Ego: A Double-Edged Sword
While artists like Picasso use their big egos to create masterpieces, in politics and military strategy, ego can be a fatal flaw. Trump is brave—no doubt about that—he even survived an assassination attempt without flinching. But bravery is not the same as cold-blooded strategy. His idea that he could end wars like trading penthouses in New York was not only unrealistic but downright dangerous.
The Middle East: A Geopolitical Arena Without Easy Solutions
Trump’s intervention in the Israel-Iran conflict, including the use of bunker-buster bombs, did not bring peace but only fueled the fire. The Iranians realized they had no choice but to develop a hellish war machine, while the Israelis remain steadfast. The current lull is just a pause before the next storm. Trump touted the ceasefire as a great success, but reality is ruthless—conflicts will continue until someone makes a strategic mistake and throws in the towel.
Trump’s Ego and World Peace—Illusion or Hope?
Although Trump’s ego brought some positive ideas about peace, politics is full of examples where ego leads to disaster—think Hitler. Trump flexed his muscles in the Middle East but essentially solved nothing. His peers like Putin and Xi Jinping have more modestly calibrated egos and act with calm and reason.
Serbian Ego and Trump’s Popularity
Interestingly, Serbs like Trump because he reminds them of their own underdeveloped ego—everyone runs the streets measuring who’s bigger. Trump embodies that energy but also serves as a warning of how ego can be a trap in serious matters like geopolitics.
Conclusion: Ego Is Not Strategy
Trump’s story teaches us that a big ego is not enough to solve global conflicts. Geopolitics demands a cool head, realistic assessments, and patience. While the world plays with fire, we can only watch and learn—or laugh at Trump’s business tricks that didn’t work where it mattered most.
So, what do you think? Was Trump just brave or dangerously naive? Or maybe you have a favorite geopolitical blunder? Drop a comment and let’s see who has the wildest conspiracy theory or the craziest peace plan!
