Well…. He’s done it again, he himself causes the chaos and he solves the chaos, at least he has a clear MO

Here's a thought, might seem "out there" to a lot of you.  It seems to me that Trump has his nose in everything, he is basically causing chaos all around the world with the tariffs and the comments about other world leaders.  He has already invaded Venezuela and wants Greenland and Canada and acts on what he believes to be real news stories when they aren't.  Plus this whole thing with ICE in this country causing protests and chaos.  What if all the other countries got together and said "We have to stop this man" and realized that the only way to do it was give the United Nations the authority to do what they wanted? If that happened, would the UN even need the support of the United States with such a majority to take over?  Just saying , it would be interesting if the UN got it's teeth despite the US, not because of their support. 

That would be even more miraculous that Trump himself let the UN rule.

The UN will get its ‘teeth’ no matter what man does, because it will be Jehovah who puts the one thought into the hearts of world leaders. And I think people miss the strategy which only appears to be chaos to a lot of uneducated talking heads on TV.

I believe the US pays most of the bills for the UN. Back in the 70s it was roughly 75%. It has gone down a lot.

Russia must be quite pleased to have veto power whilst paying $.08 cents for every $1.00 the US spends.

I think this is spot-on.  He just keeps everyone off balance. No sooner are they reacting to something crazy, he changes it up and they're back at square one again.  The political professionals are like a mouse in a maze when it comes to Trump.

And you have to wonder where all the money was wasted.

It's sobering to think how short our life is and yet the politicians say and do all kinds of crazy things, each one assuming he's done the better. What a foolmockery! 

 

On a lighter note,

So, whats his end game?

To get what he wants, which tends to boil down to money. 

 

For example the US in the past took the lead in NATO. This cost more money (it takes money to do things and the US did those things). Last year Trump threatened to withdraw from NATO. This year he toyed with taking control of Greenland. The result? The other countries were forced to (at least on paper) step up their game and take a more active role in carrying some of the burden previously left to the US. This lightened the US load and reduced expenses. 

 

Same with Ukraine. By stepping back and not spending so much money in supplying Ukraine with weapons or support, the rest of Europe was forced to step up and carry that burden by filling the gap left by the US. 

 

Greenland also is in a strategic position to control shipping in the Arctic. That means revenue for Greenland. Some have theorized Trump's goal was to share in that revenue. 

 

Trump's goal is always about cutting the best deal for himself that he can. He needs to always be on the better side of the bargain. By keeping his opponents off balance, they may ultimately settle for what he really wants because they don't see any other solution, don't see what he's ultimately after, or are convinced the other alternatives are worse. 

 

Here is a summary of Trump as President in light of his book "The Art of the Deal". 

 

Donald Trump's presidency mirrored the negotiation tactics and persona from "The Art of the Deal," emphasizing disruption, leveraging perceived weaknesses, using "truthful hyperbole" for promotion, focusing on "Made in America," and projecting an image of a tough, non-traditional dealmaker to achieve large-scale policy goals like tax cuts, trade deals (USMCA), military spending, and border security, all while playing to public fantasy and using media to his advantage, consistent with the book's principles of "thinking big" and "maximizing options". 

 

In essence, Trump's presidency enacted the deal-making philosophy outlined in The Art of the Deal, applying its strategic, aggressive, and media-savvy principles to national policy and governance, creating a distinct brand of politics.

Trump says Board of Peace meant to oversee Gaza reconstruction ‘might’ replace UN

It's getting interesting out there. Very interesting quickly. Honestly, I don't even want to hesitate or waver in my faith to Jehovah in believing in this rubbish. Like this week's lesson, Isaiah 26:3,4, we're really going to have to not rest on, not holding on to fringes, I believe this but not that, but FULLY LEAN on Jehovah.  Actually have a routine, trust the arrangement (organization), be close to the congregation, and more! See HIM not only as A ROCK. But OUR ROCK as individuals, families, and more. Like the Hezekiah lesson and the latter question. Do you believe Jehovah will protect YOU? I don't want any trust in this system or the things in it to push the end off and get lost in the taco sauce.

I don’t think this board of peace will replace the UN but it maybe the thing that leads the nations into giving the UN the teeth that it requires.. 

 

Trump said that the UN has tremendous potential but hasn’t used it as of yet and along with the board of peace will be something very unique for the world ….

If you have to ask, then, no. 

 

I believe there will be no question when that prophecy is fulfilled.
