ABNA24 - Usually, the term “child” is used for minors, but there are also elderly people who speak and behave like children, creating problems for their societies. Donald Trump, the U.S. president, is an example of such an older child.
Usually, the term “child” is used for minors, but there are also elderly people who speak and behave like children, creating problems for their societies. Donald Trump, the U.S. president, is an example of such an “older child.” In psychology, individuals with certain behavioral problems—such as speech disorders, inconsistency in behavior, a constant need for attention, and sometimes more serious psychological complications—often display immature patterns of expression and conduct. Even at an advanced age, they may still speak and react in ways that reflect unresolved aspects of childhood.
About Trump, it has often been said that allegations surrounding his misconduct during visits to Russia, as well as controversies linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s island, combined with his inherent narcissism, have affected his judgment and mental balance. These conditions have led Trump, much like a child, to become trapped in his own thoughts—far removed from reality and deeply immersed in symbolic and unfulfilled ambitions.
Regardless of Trump’s subjective and unrealistic statements during the early period of his second presidency—such as adding Canada and Mexico to the United States, purchasing Greenland, dominating the Panama Canal, or claiming he could end eight wars—his rhetoric has repeatedly reflected a disconnect from political reality.
In relation to Iran, one day he speaks of reaching a good decision through negotiation, the next day he threatens war and destruction, and another day he talks about determining leadership for Iran. At one point, in his imagination, he declared the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and later suggested that if other countries wanted oil, they themselves should open the strait. Even after the second week of the recent American-Israeli imposed war against Iran, the U.S. president has continued making contradictory statements.
Trump’s remarks are often so conflicting that few in the world take them seriously anymore. His promises are no longer viewed as credible, and public reaction increasingly treats his statements as material for political humor.
Trump’s behavior—and the fact that, for the second time, he was deceived by Benjamin Netanyahu and drawn into war with Iran from behind the negotiating table—is unacceptable not only to Americans but also to people around the world.
Arab allies can no longer trust this American child. They have clearly understood that American military bases in the Persian Gulf are ultimately designed to defend Israeli interests. Today, many around the world see Trump simply as a narcissistic figure whose conduct has caused suffering both for the United States and internationally.
In reality, American power is now in the hands of a person who appears intoxicated by self-image and lacking self-control—someone detached from objective reality and indifferent to human values, legal norms, and even religious principles. His self-centeredness has pushed America into dangerous circumstances.
Trump, with this mentality and false perception, cannot accept the weakening of American and Israeli military influence. He ignores the strategic decline of U.S. military positions in West Asia and continues to dream each night of reopening the Strait of Hormuz and reducing oil prices by morning.
Existing analyses and studies—even by some of Trump’s own allies—suggest that both the United States and the Israeli regime have suffered losses in war, including human casualties. These developments reflect a major strategic miscalculation by the United States, one that unfortunately continues under this narcissistic political immaturity.
Today, world leaders and the American people—especially those who genuinely think about U.S. interests—must consider how to contain this presidency and develop a serious plan to confront its consequences.
At present, America’s military, economic, and political standing has been significantly weakened because of the war with Iran. Therefore, large and influential countries may also see this moment as an opportunity to move toward shaping a new world order—one less dependent on the presence of the United States.
