Trump Creates Chaos and Instability in American Society

The United States, for the moment, can only showcase its military power on land, sea, and air—a domain it notably shares with the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China. Economically, it has suffered devastating blows that have relegated it to unexpected standings. The world has ceased to be unipolar and has become multipolar.

Since Donald Trump assumed the U.S. presidency, the world has faced complex and delicate situations due to his refusal to acknowledge a new geopolitical, economic, and financial reality that diminishes American hegemonic power. Tariff threats, announcements of seizing national territories, and his hateful, racist, and disturbing rhetoric have been ineffective in his attempt to instill fear in the American population and the world.

Long before President Trump's return to the White House, the U.S. was already showing signs of decline at national and international levels. Internal political, economic, and financial crises, loss of markets, and a decrease in its dominance and influence internationally. Indeed, capitalism in its imperialist stage enters into cyclical and internal contradictions that contribute to its gradual disintegration.

The United States is going through a very complicated period regarding its inability to pay its public debt on time and scrupulously cover its interest payments. It lacks the funds to meet its financial obligations, and worse yet, its financial certificates face difficulties finding buyers in the market. American imperial power has been cracking as it invests its resources in stimulating the Military-Industrial Complex, incentivizes wars everywhere, and practically surveils the world with military bases. While it dedicates itself to war, other countries advance in turning raw materials into finished goods that serve production, using high technology for both tangible products and intangible activities. Thereby cornering the U.S. into dependence on them.

All that remains is bluster, and a willingness to do anything (militarily, economically, and financially), which keeps it on the front pages of the media. Instability is taking hold of American society. From crises in the stock market and labor market, a galloping rise in the cost of living, uncertainty in universities, museums, and research centers, concerns about social and medical programs, to an inhumane, segregationist, and xenophobic persecution against Hispanic immigrants, among other things. A colossal disaster that keeps the population in distress. Faced with this terrifying picture, potential investors are pulling away.

But the collapse, as some call it, does not stop there; it spreads throughout the world. The U.S. dollar is losing value and credibility: no one wants it. Its companies are punished by the tariffs imposed by President Trump on countries with trade surpluses, which negatively impact the American population. Investors, faced with the Republican administration's managerial disaster, are fleeing to other markets to avoid being caught in an economic decline and the steep dive of a severely wounded imperialism.

The existence and operation of BRICS is the prime example of a frontal challenge to U.S. power. They are emerging countries, initially just four (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) and now have grown to over a dozen. They represent roughly 55% of the global population and contribute about 41% of global GDP. This has backed American power into a corner, from which stems a brutal aggressiveness, without considering the consequences and attempting to instill fear in its members—without managing to intimidate any. On the contrary, other nations have joined, including Malaysia, Thailandia, Belarus, Cuba, Vietnam, Uganda, and others.

U.S. power has failed to understand that 'the rules of the geopolitical game are not static.' American imperialism is not today what it was before. Nations have awakened and understand they are owners of their natural wealth to transform and negotiate what lies on the surface and in the depths of their mother earth. And they will not allow the plunder, extortion, and deception by those who believe they own the world.

President Trump is trying to prevent the collapse of his administration and, above all, the diminishment of the force of American imperialism. He is resorting to fascist capitalism in its various manifestations in an attempt to reactivate an economy in grave difficulty. With it, he hopes to pull one of the world's most powerful countries out of intensive care, a country laid low by its internal and external contradictions that have left it in poor health. Beware lest the medicine kills the patient!
