The Real Estate Tycoon Turned Commander-in-Chief
While Donald Trump excels in domestic affairs, his grasp of geopolitics remains questionable[5], according to independent journalist Vincent Hugeux, another guest on our Talk. Outside of his comfort zone, Trump, he alleges, is "mind-numbingly clueless" about global affairs[6].
Hugeux describes a Commander-in-Chief "at the helm of the world’s superpower," who acts "impulsively, settling scores" – a characterization rooted in the "insults" he hurled at his predecessor, Joe Biden[7]. "Trump will forever be a real estate tycoon at heart," Hugeux opines. For him, nations exist merely as plots to develop[8]. He perceives territories devoid of history and culture—merely flat lands ready for construction.
