TÜRKİYE ORTA ASYA HABER KKUORDİNATÖRÜ

WORLD TURKISH NEWS / WORLDPRESS Erdoğan is taking Trump as an example; Trump is encouraging Erdoğan. USA NEWS The internal turmoil created by Trump in America is similar to the internal turmoil that Erdoğan has instigated in Turkey. When Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, some were surprised that a demagogue could win the US presidency. When he lost to Joe Biden in 2020, some elites hoped that a "normal" presidency would return. However, Trump's return in the elections shows that he is not an accident or an anomaly in American politics. The New York Times considers him a transformative force reshaping the US according to his own image. On the other hand, people and demographics can also shape leaders. Many Americans share the conspiracy theory that the "deep state" and rival world powers, primarily China, are responsible for their country's decline. The enthusiasm for "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) appeals to Americans of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Countries around the world are wondering whether they will see more of the "America First" approach, which in its first term hampered international cooperation, questioned long-standing commitments to multilateralism, and damaged relations with Europe and Asia. Threats of high tariffs are fueling fears of an escalating trade war that would drag down global economic growth. Both US allies and rivals are bracing for further deterioration of geopolitical tensions, particularly the US-China confrontation. While Trump's unusual eccentricity may well camouflage his confrontational and negotiating style of politics, foreign policy is often an extension of domestic politics. The real concern is what is happening in Trump's America.
