\u201cA Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.\u201d \u2014<\/em> American Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen a clown takes over a palace, he doesn\u2019t become King, it\u2019s the palace that becomes a circus.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 French Senator Claude Malhuret. (Referring to U.S. President Donald Trump)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hard as it is for me to believe, it was former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau whose remark a few years ago was the catalyst for what I decided to write about this week. Referring to an issue of ongoing violence and lawlessness, he said, \u201cIt is important to get to the root of the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That maxim, in my view, applies in spades to United States President Donald Trump. What is the root problem here?  What is it that drives his ambitions, his attitude and behaviour toward others and his insatiable thirst for recognition and praise? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my view, the root of the problem with Donald Trump is his inherent belief in his own infallibility. He believes in his soul that he cannot be wrong. If something does go wrong, it is someone else\u2019s fault. Trump believes first and foremost in himself. That belief covers everything he says and does. Figuratively speaking, it is etched into his DNA that he never loses and that he is always right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have mentioned before that decades ago, the Government Relations and Strategic Communications firm, of which I was the founding partner, represented the Trump organization in their bid for a casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Eventually, the choice was narrowed down to two, of which the Trump proposal was one, and those proponents were called to Toronto for a final interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump sent his in-house lawyer, who, instead of promoting the Trump proposal, accused the Selection Committee and the other remaining proponent of bias and all sorts of other shady practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not sure that the Trump Casino Proposal would have won in any event, but that performance put a cap on it, and the other guy got the contract. I don\u2019t know whether Donald Trump just threatened the winning proponent with a lawsuit or actually sued, because by then I had lost interest. I do know he did one or the other. It was clear that in Donald Trump\u2019s mind, he had won and the process had been stacked against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was only in retrospect, due to events since Donald Trump entered politics, that I realized that even then, at the time of the casino competition in Niagara Falls, he could not lose. It was always someone else\u2019s fault.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is that mindset, that belief, that he can never be wrong and that he always wins, that still drives Donald Trump today. He truly believes that he won the 2020 presidential election in the United States, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary, because he never loses and he never concedes. He thrives in that belief.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it is that belief that makes Donald Trump a narcissist. It\u2019s all about him. He has an obsessive preoccupation with himself and an insatiable thirst for recognition. Everything comes back to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, he unabashedly and embarrassingly lobbied for the Nobel Peace Prize. When he didn\u2019t get it, he wrote to Jonas Gahr Store, the Prime Minister of Norway. \u201cDear Jonas: Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped eight wars plus, (a complete fabrication) I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump renamed the John F. Kennedy Center to give top billing to himself. He excels at placing his name in large lettering on buildings, hotels and even consumer products. While in office, there is a well- documented pattern of self-promotion that goes beyond what is typical, even by modern political standards. Some of that is his classic branding instinct of the Trump name, and some of it edges into the use of public office to reinforce his personal image as he believes it to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump will never allow anyone to overshadow him. No one can be greater than him. That ingrained belief covers everything he says and does. That is why he constantly mocks, bullies, and threatens people he wants to discredit or destroy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my view, nothing demonstrates more clearly that Donald Trump is a legend in his own mind than his unilateral declaration of war on Iran, whatever else he may have called it. He believes he has the power and the right to say and do whatever he wants, without restriction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no consultation with his allies about Iran, nor any warning about what he intended to do. He ignored his own intelligence leadership, which told him there was no present and immediate danger that the United States would be attacked by Iran. By his own admission, he listened instead to his son-in-law, who urged him to attack Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now things have changed because the war is not going as Trump would like. He signalled regime change to wipe out a terrorist and antisemitic ruling class in Iran. That has not happened. When one leader is killed, another one pops up, like targets in a shooting gallery.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran has demonstrated more military strength than Trump anticipated, and his administration grossly misinterpreted the consequences to the world economy related to the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, which is controlled by Iran. It is a war that was to last a matter of days and is now into its second month. It is also a war that remains unauthorized by the Congress of the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my view, because he is always right, Donald Trump will do one of two things. He may double down in Iran, put boots on the ground and escalate the confrontation to the point where a much greater and more horrific conflict could result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More likely, Trump will declare victory in a war that never met its objectives; perhaps with some concessions, but with no real regime change and indeed, leaving behind a wounded animal with the capacity to recover and seek increased revenge upon all of its opponents, especially those in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that event, a strategic withdrawal, Trump will blame everyone but himself. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, will be the first to have their heads on the chopping block. The President is already laying the ground for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next will be America\u2019s allies, who did not immediately jump to attention when Trump, without consulting them or asking for their help, decided to attack Iran.  He forgets that it took America two years to join its allies in World War II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump will accuse Western Allies of never coming to the aid of the United States. He will forget that the only time NATO itself has gone to war was to help protect the United States after the September 11 attacks on that country. He will also ignore the fact that 1,148 non-U.S. troops gave their lives in the U.S. war in Afghanistan and that 318 non-U.S. troops paid the ultimate sacrifice when the U.S. invaded Iraq. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If things continue to go badly for Donald Trump in Iran and the Middle East, he will either pretend that they didn\u2019t or he will blame everyone else. He will double down at home. He will do everything he can to disrupt the mid-term elections and maintain control of Congress if things are not going his way. He will increase tariffs and threats against NATO and America\u2019s allies. He will continue to turn the White House into a palace fit for his exalted stature. That is simply his nature. Donald Trump does not lose. He wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is at the root of who Donald Trump is. His egotistical omnipotence makes him one of the most dangerous men on earth. Everything is predicated on what is best for him. If he has to be a despot or dictator to accomplish that, so be it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Western leaders, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, need to come to grips with who Donald Trump really is and recognize that what is at the root of his character and indeed his very existence will make it impossible for him to change. There may be wisdom in trying to placate the leopard, but it is not going to change its spots. The problem is not the people of the United States. The problem is an unhinged Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Western World needs to move on from the world of Donald Trump and find other ways to flourish or suffer the consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tough nut to crack, I agree, but bordering on necessity, if not reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Donald Trump never loses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
