Donald Trump promised he would bring peace to the world. He said he could end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours. He said he’d solve the Israel-Gaza crisis with ease. He campaigned on being a master deal-maker who alone could bring order to chaos.
But now, Trump is president, and the results speak for themselves: more war, more death, more danger and zero strategy.
Today, it’s being reported that Trump has ordered missile strikes on Iran. This follows a dangerous trend of escalation in the Middle East, and it’s not de-escalation or deterrence—it’s a match thrown onto a powder keg. His actions risk turning the Israel-Gaza conflict into full-blown WWIII, and dragging the United States into yet another endless conflict in the Middle East.
And let’s not forget Ukraine. Trump claimed he could end the war with Russia “overnight.” Instead, he’s gone soft on Putin, questioning NATO, weakening American alliances, and stalling military support to Ukraine. The result? A resurgent Kremlin, more civilian deaths, and a message to dictators around the world that America under Trump is either uninterested or incapable of defending democracy.
Trump’s foreign policy has always been theater over substance. He made a show of diplomacy. Photo ops in North Korea, handshake deals in the Gulf, but never built anything close to a peace deal. His leadership style is nothing but shallow, dangerous, impulsive, militarism.
By withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal in his first term and failing to replace it with any viable alternative, Trump helped set the conditions for today’s escalation. Instead of diplomacy, we now have missiles. Instead of peace talks, we have airstrikes. Instead of vision, we have chaos.
Trump told the American people that wars would end under his leadership. Instead, they’re exploding.
The world is not safer under Trump. It’s more volatile, more fractured, and more prone to spiraling violence. His incompetence and vanity have turned serious geopolitical challenges into personal crusades and reckless gambles.
This is not leadership. It’s not strength. It’s failure on a global scale.
And every day this continues, the cost in lives and global stability gets higher.
