According to Fazliddin Djamalov, Donald Trump shows himself as a leader with deep personal ambitions, proud and absolutely confident in his abilities. The specialist notes that he considers himself a strong personality guiding the world, applies the principle of “if there is a benefit – I will do it” in every decision and usually pays little attention to the internal aspects of specific small-organizational issues. Trump has a strong will, loyalty and flexibility, wants to be recognized as a “leader elected by the people” and prefers relationships based on personal respect with his associates.
According to the expert, Trump’s political views are mainly based on conservative principles: he actively defends traditional values and sharply criticizes globalism, liberal democracy and multilateral diplomacy. Djamalov argues that Trump, acting under the slogan “America for Americans”, promotes a policy of supporting Russia, Israel and other conservative states while opposing liberals, the Democratic Party and positive progressive parties in Western Europe.
According to the expert, Trump’s foreign policy is based on a neorealist model that emphasizes bilateral negotiations on international issues and puts the idea of “Great America” above national interests. He seeks to pursue an independent policy by withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement and revising commitments in NATO, participating in global cooperation only if it is in the interests of the United States.
According to the expert, Trump does not rely too much on public opinion when making decisions, but instead considers power and favorable factors as the main criteria as a “deal-maker”. Because he favors an unconventional, dynamic style that allows him to quickly adapt to political situations, this approach serves to further strengthen his leadership on the world stage.
