Trump Issues Grave Warning
Former President Donald Trump has raised alarm bells about the direction of U.S. foreign policy under the Biden administration. Trump’s statements suggest that America is on the verge of World War III, primarily due to the current administration’s handling of international diplomatic relations, particularly in the Middle East.
Trump claims that the White House’s actions are lacking in competence, exacerbating tensions and compromising American security. His critique specifically targets Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he holds accountable for elevating the risk of a worldwide conflict. Expressing distrust in the present U.S. leadership, Trump urges a reassessment of foreign diplomatic strategies.

Middle East Policies Under Fire
Trump has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with how the Biden administration is handling the Middle East affairs. According to Trump, the administration’s strategies have been disastrous, putting the region in greater turmoil and inching closer to conflict. His disapproval of Vice President Harris is particularly strong, claiming that her lack of experience and poor decisions are leading the world down a dangerous path.
“Who is negotiating for us in the Middle East? Bombs are dropping all over the place! Sleepy Joe is sleeping on a Beach in California, viciously Exiled by the Democrats, and Comrade Kamala is doing a campaign bus tour with Tampon Tim, her really bad V.P. Pick. Let’s not have World War III, because that’s where we’re heading!” – Donald Trump [Truth Social]
Tensions in the Middle East have indeed escalated, as evidenced by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launching preventive strikes against Hezbollah, who in turn retaliated with rocket attacks. Reports indicate that Israel’s Defense Minister declared a 48-hour state of emergency, a stark reminder of the volatility in the region.
To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

The Threat of Revisionist Powers
The criticism extends beyond the Middle East to broader international concerns involving Russia and China. Trump and other experts warn that these nations, often labeled as “revisionist powers,” are increasingly assertive in their aspirations to re-establish regional hegemony. They see the U.S. as an obstacle to their ambitions and believe that the weakening of American global engagement has emboldened them.
The convergence of these trends is seen as a risk to the current world order, potentially leading to its collapse and ensuing chaos. The weakening of U.S. global influence, which some attribute to the Obama administration’s policies, has seemingly provided Russia and China with the opportunity to challenge international norms.
