An analysis of expert opinions reveals a fundamental duality in the assessment of Trump’s policies.
As a political scientist observes: “His policies combine elements of strategy and spectacle, making it difficult to predict their consequences.” This idea is expanded by another expert, who notes: “Trump leverages theatrical elements to advance his policies, which can be effective but also risky.”
A sociologist highlights this approach, stating: “His methods blend strategic objectives with dramatic execution. Trump strikes at the heart of the U.S. deep state—targeting bureaucracy, the Pentagon, the judiciary, Big Pharma, and IT giants. He turns this radical restructuring into a performance. This is a brilliant tactic from Trump as a negotiator.”
A diplomat confirms that these methods are evident across all aspects of Trump’s policies, from domestic appointments to international relations.
Despite Trump’s theatricality, many experts point out that his policies have created a unique coalition of support. A sociologist emphasizes: “Trump has managed to unite the working class, religious conservatives, and a significant portion of ethnic minorities, reflecting a demand for radical change.”
A political scientist identifies a systemic approach in Trump’s actions: “His policies aim to strengthen national sovereignty and revive American identity, despite opposition from the establishment.”
A national security expert notes: “The current political spectacle, with bold statements about future appointments and media controversies, serves as an effective distraction. Behind the scenes, Trump’s team is methodically laying the groundwork for a profound transformation of the American political system.”
However, many experts highlight that the appointments in “Trump’s team” demonstrate his determination to raise the stakes in his confrontation with the Democrats. As one expert observes: “With two months remaining before he assumes full power, much can still change in Washington and the Middle East. The possibility of a ‘black swan’ event for Trump always looms.”
Conclusions
The duality of Trump’s policies is well illustrated by the recent meeting between Elon Musk and representatives from Iran, which sends a clear signal to Israel. Their focus is not on war but on a global deal for the Middle East. It is critical to understand the role envisioned for Israel in this framework.
Trump’s spectacle and his pro-Israel, messianic appointments should not mislead anyone. The stakes in Trump’s game are extraordinarily high, and Israel must recognize that Trump’s priority is making America great—not Israel.
Furthermore, it is important to note that all of Trump’s appointments are taking place before he officially assumes office. For two more months, Biden’s team remains in power, and during this time, Trump’s opponents could implement various negative scenarios, including the possibility of nuclear conflict.
Who knows what will happen in January and what the global and domestic situation will be after Trump’s inauguration—if it happens at all.
