TRUMPOLOGY 2.0- Doctrine of Geopolitical Reimagination
I like this terminology—Trumpology
Why? You ask.
Trumpology represents a political philosophy— a radical reimagining of American global positioning, characterized by bold, unconventional strategies that challenge diplomatic norms.
Economic Nationalism + Territorial Expansionism + Immigration Transformation + Global Realignment + Personal Branding 
Key Hallmarks of Trumpology, using trade as geopolitical tool.
Tariff wars. Mainly with China
Prioritizing bilateral economic confrontations
Discuss Canada as US’s 51st state, and contemplate Mexico as 52nd.
Buy Greenland. 
Rename the Panama Canal.
End birthright immigration in the US.
Hardline border control.
Mass deportation on the cards.
Retract from Paris climate accord
Form a new alliance, known as the Quad with India, Australia and Japan, to counter China.
Trump crypto memecoin.
Melania crypto memecoin.
Best of all pardoning jan 6 US rioters. Also pardoning himself. LOL
Trumpology Slogan- The golden age of America. The world can go to ….
But what does Trumpology say on the Russia Ukraine issue?
NADA!
Other Unspoken Dimensions of Trumpology
Inflation consequences of trade wars
Global political uncertainties
Emerging international partnership dynamics
Philosophical Underpinning: "Golden Age" Narrative
Trumpology fundamentally believes in restoring an idealized American supremacy, often dismissive of global multilateral considerations and prioritizing unilateral American interests.
The doctrine suggests: America first, always, regardless of international repercussions.

I have followed Trump from the time he was facing bankruptcy, during the early 90’s. His remarkable comeback to take more loans from those who were on the verge of taking him bankrupt, converted into a successful memoir. I read every page with awe.
And then “The Aprentice”.
Trump’s favorite line, “You’re Fired.” 
I watched with awe!
I saw him taking his first oath on telly. I saw him defy election results, and the Jan 6 riots. The Mike Pence revolt. I saw him taking his last flight aboard the Airforce 1, vowing to return, as no one at the time thought, he would. He did.
And now he’s back.
And he’s not going anywhere, at least not until 2029.
