Donald Trump's second term features frequent power grabs and an itinerant focus on solving global problems. He has claimed to have ended 'six wars in six months,' a claim disputed by critics. He intervened militarily in the Israel-Iran conflict and proposed relocating Gaza's population to create a luxury resort. He called himself and Benjamin Netanyahu 'war heroes' for recent actions. He has pursued mediation in the Russia-Ukraine war, meeting Vladimir Putin in Alaska and hosting Volodymyr Zelenskyy and allied leaders in Washington. His tariff diplomacy and international engagement have unsettled portions of his MAGA base. Reports indicate he seeks a Nobel Peace Prize.
One of the hallmarks of Donald Trump's second term as president (other than his frequent power grabs) is his peripatetic devotion to global problem-solving. He has, he wants us to know, ended "six wars in six months" (or more accurately, "none," according to some critics). He aggressively intervened with military force in the Israel-Iran conflict and offered a classically Trumpian "solution" for the most intractable quagmire by sharing his vision of Gaza as a luxury resort ridden of its current population.
He's even referred to himself and Bibi Netanyahu as "war heroes" for their common exploits this year. Trump has also become very involved personally in trying to broker some sort of deal, cease-fire, or surrender to end the terrible Russian war on Ukraine. In just the last few days, he's jetted off to Alaska to meet with Vladimir Putin, then jetted back to Washington to host Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a large group of leaders of the countries more unambiguously committed to the support of Zelenskyy.
