Donald Trump’s current approach

Donald Trump's actions is what is known is a Madman theory of diplomacy. Many people fear about Donald Trump's decision on the nuclear button. However, Ted Lieu assured the citizen that Trump will not be the one who first strike without the approval and discussion with the congress. However the madman theory is not a logical way to response to situation especially, form the world leader.

History has shown such behavior were never a success for example Muammar al-Qaddafi. The late Col. Qaddafi was one wacky guy, whose outrageous behavior, bizarre uniforms, incomprehensible ideology, and inexplicable conduct left almost everyone who dealt with him mystified and concerned. He was able to use Libya’s oil wealth to cause a certain amount of trouble — including a number of acts of state terrorism — but what was the end result of Qaddafi’s unpredictable behavior? He was isolated and friendless by the end of his rule, Libya was a basket case despite its oil riches, strict international sanctions had forced him to abandon his failed attempts to acquire weapons of mass destruction, and he eventually got murdered by a rebel mob. Mad, perhaps; a total failure, most definitely.

This is just one example. There are many more such as Mao Zedong, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein and even Pol Pot. History justifies that all these leaders came to an end without any positive outcome. Trump policy either political or economical could create financially instability and constrain economic progress.

Trump withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It would have been the world's largest free trade agreements. He threatened to withdraw from NAFTA, the world's largest existing agreement. He said he would negotiate better bilateral agreements.

Trump advocated trade protectionism. In his campaign, he promised to inflict a 35 percent tariff on imports from Mexico. He said he would label China as a currency manipulator. Trump claims that China artificially undervalues its currency, the yuan, by 15-40 percent. If it didn't reduce its trade surplus with the United States, he would impose duties on its exports. As president, he has reversed some of those claims.

Therefore due to various reason Donald Trump’s current approach to handle matters is not the right one. Serious consequences may occur.
