Barely back in the center of the political game, Donald Trump is already facing serious headwinds. Between incriminating revelations, geopolitical tensions and internal fractures within his camp, the former president seems fragile. Analysis.
In this week’s issue of Chaos Global, one thing is clear: Donald Trump’s position vis-à-vis the American Deep State is increasingly precarious. One issue in particular is a bombshell: his alleged collaboration with Palantir, a company specializing in data analysis, to develop large-scale surveillance tools on American territory.
According to the revelations, this alliance raises major questions about possible conflicts of interest in the Trump entourage, but above all about the continuity – or even the drift – of a security policy that was thought to be reserved for the Biden era. Trump’s promises to defend individual freedoms now seem to contradict these opaque initiatives.
Ukraine: between promises of peace and bellicose rhetoric
On the external front, Donald Trump’s knowledge of a planned Ukrainian offensive on Russian territory remains ambiguous. Whereas on January 20, the former president promised a swift resolution to the conflict, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham’s muscular statements from Kiev, calling for a “hard blow” against Russia, mark a strategic turning point. The hawkish line seems to have prevailed over the pacifist impulses of January.
This development blurs the prospects for peace, accentuates strategic confusion and isolates Trump, whose discourse now seems disconnected from military and diplomatic reality.
Palestine: Trump overshadowed by his entourage
Another sticking point: the Palestinian issue. Here again, Donald Trump seems marginalized, outmaneuvered by his own teams. Some of those close to him, whose relations with the Deep State are unclear, are said to have taken over. A situation that further weakens the image of a leader in control of his political line.
A battle far from won
While the fall of Trumpism is not a foregone conclusion, the warning signs are multiplying. The Palantir affair, in particular, casts deep doubt on the sincerity of Trump’s commitment to individual freedoms. It also rekindles a broader concern: is the battle against the dark forces of the Deep State still possible?
