International anger would only grow, further proving that Trump leans towards imbecility rather than genius. Every day that passes, Trumpism shows that what has interested him least is democratizing the societies he attacks or threatens; on the contrary, his messages, many of them delusional, evidence that his only objective is to conquer natural resources, lands, and coasts to undertake businesses that are not even for the benefit of the American people, but in favor of personal, family, and friendship gains. However, if he manages to pacify the world, as he has promised, and resolves the situation in the Middle East without shedding more blood in the short term, and if maritime trade routes open and calm reigns in the region, then he can take credit for the election, not only confirming his victory but also expanding it. But frankly, that scenario looks very unlikely. The most absurd thing about this is that he calls himself the president of peace. But Donald Trump's time may be up; he has only 222 days to convince his citizens that his various whims make sense if he wants to win the midterm elections, which would allow him to rule comfortably for two more years, although the nightmare for half the world will continue. But if his adventures remain only in the realm of imagination and do not yield results in favor of the security and wallets of Americans, who are being besieged by a world against them, then he will not only lose the upcoming November 3rd elections but could suffer a historic defeat that could lead to a possible impeachment—the legal procedure by which the Legislative Power can investigate, accuse, and, in its case, remove him from office. Donald Trump is either a genius or a scoundrel, and the decisions he has been making have put the entire world in a complex status that ranges from uncertainty to terror, from supplication to praise. The clearest example of the impact he generates on people were the reactions and gestures of the Japanese Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, when she met with the press at the White House during her first official visit to the United States. Sanae's docility contrasted with Trump's crudeness during the question-and-answer session. The problem deepens when Trump seeks to justify his military attacks carried out in different cities around the world, as if it were a war video game: on the one hand, he captures (for many it was a kidnapping) the 'narcopresident,' Nicolás Maduro, but among these 'surgical' military actions, he kills dozens of men, including several Cubans who were part of his security detail. On the other hand, he annihilates political elites in Middle Eastern countries in the name of combating nuclear weapons development, or sponsors governments that exterminate entire peoples as in the Gaza Strip. But if he imposes a new government, his wear and tear will be greater, as he will not be able to convince a Muslim society that his intervention in the Middle East was to liberate them from oppressive or belligerent regimes, since he constantly makes it clear that his principle is to expropriate resources that will only suit his interests; this will open the doors to the creation of new and more dangerous terrorist cells that will generate waves of violence in the West. On the other hand, the intervention in Cuba is another unsolved crossword puzzle, and although in Washington they desire a change of regime, it seems they have not yet decided which path to follow: if they carry out something similar to what they did in Venezuela—capture the leader and negotiate with part of the current governing team—or as they did in Iran—militarily eliminate the entire political, military, and religious leadership; or negotiate a new economic system with the current governing regime, that is, the Castro regime. The problem for the United States is that there are no clear pretexts to capture or attack the Castro leadership, because while Maduro is accused of drug trafficking and Ali Khamenei of developing nuclear weapons, there are no crimes against Díaz-Canel or Raúl Castro that would justify arrests or assassinations. It would be the equivalent of an impeachment. So what will he do to reverse a disaster created in the name of global stability, but which with each passing day the only understandable results are the increase in gasoline prices, inflation, global economic instability, and, above all, the hundreds of senseless deaths? Hence the paradoxes surrounding Trump's decisions, since he will hardly negotiate favorable terms with the current renewed Iranian regime despite the death of the ruling apparatus of ayatollahs and high commands of the Revolutionary Guard led by Ali Khamenei. The Japanese woman's grimaces evidenced surprise and annoyance at the host's pronouncements. But hopefully, everything will change between the speeches.
