Larry Kudrow: Trump is the most politician-like president of his generation
With daily passing, President Donald Trump He has proven to be the best international politician America has produced since Ronald Reagan.
Listening to his “America First” North Star’s guiding principles, Trump critics accused him of being an isolationist who has no interest in the complexities of other parts of the world and the diplomatic relations. But Trump has proven that they are all very badly wrong.
Just a few weeks after his inauguration, he negotiated border closures and deportation policies with Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Nicaragua, Venezuela and El Salvador.
He has Like a laser focused on the Panama Canal And the importance of preventing China from operating it. He is moving rapidly to prevent China from invading Central and South America in violation of Monroe’s doctrine. And he has turned his keen eye to Greenland’s strategic values to prevent Russia and China from entering the Arctic Circle.
Moreover, he is directly involved Israel regarding hostage release negotiations With Hamas terrorists. He offers outdoor solutions to the old Gaza problems.
And now he has finally broken the Russian Ukraine stalemate.
First, by meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in person. Then, an hour this morning Calling President Vladimir Putin Russia.
With a long truth social post, he laid out a brand new US strategy to end the war. In his own words:
I received a long and productive call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. We discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, energy, artificial intelligence, the power of the dollar, and various other subjects.
Joe Biden did not speak to Putin since the war began. Not once. But Trump is clearly doing good for him The campaign promises to end the warand he does it at his usual warp speed.
Again, in his own words:
But first of all, as we both agreed, we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the war with Russia/Ukraine. President Putin used my very powerful campaign motto, “common sense.”
Common sense was the constant theme of Trump. In the economy, it’s about Doge auditing of the out-of-control federal budget, ending radical left-wing culture, closing borders, and cutting taxes.
And foreign policy also requires strong common sense themes.
Again, in his own words, Trump laid out strategy and key American players.
First, I’ll call Ukrainian President Zelenki and let him know what I’m doing right now by letting him know. I have asked CIA John Ratcliffe’s director, national security adviser Michael Waltz, ambassador and special envoy Steve Witkoff’s Secretary Marcolbio to lead negotiations that I feel will be strong and successful.
This is Dramatic moves by President Trumpto break the logjam of war, as well as directly engage with major players Putin and Zelensky. And Trump is essentially adjusting what will become the strategy of the Peace Conference.
Trump essentially drives the process of all three aspects of the US, Russia and Ukraine. Trump’s actions are breathtaking DeMarco. It is the most political effort we have seen in generations.
Trump should have won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating Abraham’s agreement during his term. What he is doing now to end the seemingly unruly Russian-Ukraine war should win him his second Nobel Prize.
But for him, it is just a promise, and the promise is kept.
