Dr Muzaffar is no fan of Donald Trump. Even so, he believes that the American President will play a pivotal and positive role in global history. Trump has lifted the veil from US foreign policy – revealing his naked ambition. Without the cloak of pretense, Dr Muzaffar believes, the Empire will not last for long.

Since returning to the White House in 2025, Donald Trump has pursued aggressive policies in three key areas: Tariffs, Territory, and Transfers (of People).
Tariffs: He raised tariffs on multiple countries, triggering retaliatory measures and disrupting global trade.
Territory: He controversially suggested Canada join the U.S., expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, and sought control over the Panama Canal, all met with strong opposition.
Transfers: His most extreme move was proposing a U.S. takeover of Gaza, displacing Palestinians and converting it into a luxury destination—a plan widely condemned.
Dr Chandra argues that while Trump’s actions are reckless and colonial, they ironically fuel global resistance against U.S. and Israeli dominance, potentially leading to a shift in international power dynamics.
