US President Trump claims to be a peacemaker abroad but his actions at home are fueling civil unrest.
Trump recently visited Israel and hailed it as a success, where he brokered a fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. He is now pushing for peace with Russia in Ukraine, despite the complexities of the conflict. However, behind this façade, Trump is stirring up tensions at home.
He has deployed US troops to several major cities across America, including Los Angeles, Washington DC, Chicago, Portland, and Memphis. The data suggests that most of these cities have lower rates of violent crime than others, yet Trump continues to send in the National Guard.
One possible explanation for this is Trump's narrow filter bubble and lack of access to accurate information. He described Portland as a "burning hellhole", confusing footage from 2020 riots with current events. His actions are more about intimidating potential Democratic strongholds rather than genuinely addressing crime rates.
Critics believe that deploying troops on the streets could be a precursor to the midterm elections, where Republicans might try to sway minority voters or suppress opposition. The US military is being rebranded as an instrument of domestic conflict, with Trump instructing top generals that their job is now to deal with "civil disturbances".
The use of the justice system to punish critics, including the indictment of former national security adviser John Bolton, further fuels concerns about Trump's intentions. With the FBI under pressure from ideological orthodoxy and institutions facing funding cuts, it seems clear that Trump will stop at nothing to assert his power.
It appears that while Trump talks the peace talk abroad, he views domestic conflict as a legitimate means to an end. His actions are a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked presidential power and the erosion of democratic norms in America.
