Commentary: Mr Trump is a threat to world order and responsible for Qatar crisis

block
First the US President paid a highly disputed visit to Saudi Arabia, and no sooner after he had left the region it had plunged into a deep crisis with Qatar being in the middle. In the midst of a deepening diplomatic crisis came the deliberate testimony of the former FBI Chief James Comey – where he clearly stated some of the most dangerous traits or apparent flaws in the character of Mr Donald Trump.

The point, however, by taking a series of contentious decisions – Mr Trump is not only disrupting the normal course of global peace but he is playing with fire knowingly. We are yet to understand what form of political machination did he implanted in the Middle East – that despite repeated pleas for lifting the Qatar blockade made by the US Secretary of State – the Gulf states are still silent. Apprehensively enough, we are witnessing the visible conflicts of interests regarding the peaceful handling of the ongoing diplomatic crisis between separate tweets and statements issued by the US President and the US Secretary of State. This having followed – Mr Trump is not only dividing the American system of government, but is relentlessly trying to establish a one-man rule by practicing the extreme political gimmick that he was gifted by the American public barely six months ago. Back in the American soil, the former FBI Director James Comey’s Senate testimony, broadcasted throughout the world last Thursday is already having a big invisible political impact in Washington. It is likely to foster more partisan bitterness and much more ill-feelings about the weaknesses of the US political process. The bottom line is that the former FBI chief had clearly admitted that he not only felt shocked, uncomfortable and stunned by the US President’s behaviour, but the President could not be trusted at all. Furthermore, he peppered his testimonial narrative by branding him a liar as well. This incident clearly suggests that the leaders of the most powerful US security establishments, such as the FBI, have lost much of its faith in Mr Trump’s presidential integrity and political trustworthiness.

Observing carefully, the damaging impacts of Trump’s apathetic and emotion-driven actions have shrouded entire Washington and the Middle East with a dark smoke of distrust, suspense and fear. By resorting to a stronger anti-Qatar stance after the diplomatic ties were cut-off, it has now become clear that his recent visit to Saudi, in some way was actually planned to destabilise the religious unity between the Arab states. If he had come to sow the seed of more bloodshed and lawlessness in the Middle East – it’s high time for the Arab states to unite collectively against such destructive conspiracy against Islam.

Also jumping deeper into bed with Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries isn’t going to produce a breakthrough, and moreover there is little to believe that Mr Trump cares at all about Israelis or Palestinians, if he honestly did, why would he assign the crucial Arab-Israel peace process to his overworked, inexperienced, and borderline incompetent son-in-law?

Lastly, the point is – Mr Trump is not only facing the growing deficiency of trust and decency at home, appears determined to undermine the greatness of its world role for peace and democracy worldwide. He is proving disastrous because he is not competent and not even aware of high position he is holding as President of the United States. President Trump directly blaming Qatar for supporting terrorism when at the same time it is very important to have ban on Qatar lifter for reducing tension in the Middle East. His Secretary of States Mr Rex W. Tillerson is proving more sober and balanced in expressing his opinion while pressing all sides to bring an end to the crisis in Qatar.
