Since Donald Trump came to power I have found myself getting more and more appalled by his behaviours and his apparent belief that the truth is whatever he says it is.
Trump might be American, but he is just like Putin, Xi Jinping or Yong Un when it comes to the playbook of power. For example:
The man is a narcissistic, egotistic megalomaniac and arguably a criminal too. The world is a much more dangerous place than it was before he came to power, and I think we all have reason to be quite afraid. He doesn’t care about the planet, decency, honesty or integrity and instead promotes division, aggression, expansionism and capitalism.
I don’t know how he can spout such lies (Ukraine started the war, Zelensky is a dictator, Putin is a genius etc.) to the world without being embarrassed. He seems to believe his own bullshit.
To me, America has always been a great and inspiring country, a place associated with living the dream – the united states of aspiration if you will. Now I am thinking that the USA is losing its shine and appeal. For the foreseeable future, Trump will be America’s own dictator, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’ll look to amend the constitution so that he can be in power for longer.
The next four years are going to be uncomfortable for the rest of the world.

Trump might be American, but he is just like Putin, Xi Jinping or Yong Un when it comes to the playbook of power. For example:
- Lie until something becomes the truth because others have given up questioning or believe it to be true because they have heard it so often.
- Bully and threaten others with force or the removal of friendship if they don’t give way (Greenland, Mexico, Gaza for example).
- Do everything to hold on to power by removing dissenters from office.

Update 02/03/2025
Since writing this post, Zelensky was on the receiving end of an orchestrated mugging by Trump and Vance in the notorious televised meeting at the White House. I listened and was angered by the diplomatic indecency.
There is a well-known saying “with great power comes great responsibility” and so as not to forget, Trump would do well to have that tattooed on to his body. He shows none of the tact and diplomacy that befits someone in his position.
I was slightly heartened to read in the news over the weekend that protesters have been taking to the streets in the States to show their support for Ukraine. Hopefully there were far more Americans upset by Trump’s antics than were visible in New York, Boston. Los Angeles and Vermont. They voted him in and, because he claims to be acting on their behalf, they need to manage his outrageous behaviours.
