Donald Trump encourages the men of world powerful

While President Donald Trump tests the American democratic standards and weakens Washington’s commitment to long -term allies, potential Autocrats all over the world have taken the heart.

Whether the attack of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the most aggressive in Gaza, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is the main competitor to him, or the Indonesian president and the retired army of Rabu Sobanto destroys the line between civil rule and military rule everywhere, according to many drug and foreign policy laboratories.

“The United States that crosses the line in the authoritarian camp is a devastating blow to global rule,” said Nicholas Pikelin, his oldest colleague at the Paul Tsai China at the Yale Law College, adding that Trump was a “clear preference” of strong rule over democratic supervision.

“The actors believe, I may have been able to stay away from what I could not get rid of before,” said Bekillan. “This encourages more adventure from big and small countries.”

Ashz Zarakol, a professor of international relations at Cambridge University, said that the weakest “international brake” about bad behavior was a factor in arresting Emamoglu, the mayor of Istanbul and his most dangerous rival to Erdogan in more than 20 years, sentenced Turkey.

This month, Emamoglu was held on charges of corruption that he and his supporters, who were poured into the streets in tens of thousands, have said the political motivation.

“Erdogan has been on this journey for a long time,” said Zarakol, who writes a book on the history of the leaders of the Carisimid men. “But with Trump in power, he concluded that he does not need to demonstrate anymore.” “He is not copying Trump. He wanted to do this anyway. But he saw this fun time.”

The previous US administrations have often condemned the violations of the authority in other countries, but the United States’ response to the arrest of Eamoglu was kept silent.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs originally described it as an internal issue of Turkey, although it later said that Marco Rubio, Foreign Minister, “expressed their concerns about recent arrests and protests.” However, in the aftermath of the campaign, Steve Witkev, a special envoy for the Middle East, presented a glowing description of this month’s conversation between Donald Trump and Erdogan. “There is a lot of good and positive news that comes out of Türkiye now,” he said.

Mark Malushi Brown, the former deputy Secretary -General of the United Nations, said this language was given salvation to democracy. He said: “The leaders feel that they do not need to look at their shoulders in the United States anymore, and that there is a complete change in the moral tone,” adding that Netanyahu’s campaign against independent institutions, including the dismissal of the head of the intelligence agency that was investigating him, Trump replied “to fight the deep left situation.”

Many people in the developing world have long accused the United States of hypocrisy, supporting allies such as Israel and Saudi Arabia through thick and thin and reserves what one of the officials called “their finger” for the countries that Washington can wander.

However, Trump was rarely shy about his appreciation for the strong men, as he was talking warmly about Vladimir Putin, the Russian authoritarian leader, and heard during his first term of China the eleventh: “He is now a president of life … I think it is wonderful. We may have to give these bullets one day.”

In Africa, where institutional restrictions on leaders are often fragile, many politicians have praised Trump’s driving style, which they consider more honest in their unwanted transactions. President Paul Kajami, who dominated the Rwandan policy for three decades, He said Last month, Trump’s “completely unconventional methods” was estimated to do things and agreed with him “on many things.”

Kagame chose the days that followed the opening of Trump in January, when the US President was proud of Greenland and even Canada, to intensify the thorny invasion of Rwanda of the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. In January and February, the Rwandan -backed rebels, the Rwandian, seized Goma and then Bukavu, two important seizures in Dr Cong.

“Kagame felt that he was outside the wheel and could do what he liked, although he was always a person who interrogated the western dual standards,” said Malush Brown.

Experts said that one of the features of foreign relationships of transactions is that they cannot be predicted. In the Rwanda case, Washington fell, and the sanctions of James Kaparibi, Minister of State for Regional Integration, which accused him of organizing Rwanda’s support for M23. Trump officials also held exploratory talks on a security deal for security with Dr. Kongo, Rwanda’s opponent.

Comfort Ero, President and CEO of Crisis Group, a non -profit organization, warned of the idea that the leaders were taking a braid from Washington. She said that Kagame’s East Congo’s plans “were long in making and had no relationship with Trump.”

Iro said leaders such as Narindra Modi in India and Erdogan preceded what was happening in the United States. “The most interesting thing is that the United States in the past fifteen years has become more like some of these countries, not the other way around.”

Alastair frarad, a lecturer in African policy in Soas in London, agreed that Trump was symptoms of global democratic drift as far as driving. In its 2024 report, Freedom House, a Washington -based non -profit organization, found that democracy was eroding for 18 consecutive years, with four world population now lived in countries that were not “free” or “partially free”.

“Trump just speeds up the trend that was visible for a while,” said Fraser.

Fraser said that discontent with the globalization that helped to elect Trump for the first time in 2016 was established in Africa before that. Leaders such as Jacob Zuma, South Africa, directed indignation in economic marginalization to a personality policy, which allowed him to install an attack on state institutions such as the Public Prosecutor’s Office and tax authorities.

Fraser said: “In some senses, African policy has reached there first,” said Fraser. “It is possible that what we see now is African for Western politics.”

Daily Ologarde, founder of the World Festival in the World and Pulitzer Prize winner, said the United States is still putting the world’s tone. He said that in the past, Washington has often failed to rise to its declared level, as it helped its motive for democracy and human rights to curb bad behavior and encouraged fighting for civil freedoms.

He said: “These principles are now being indifferently torn by people who do not care who does not understand this ambition, not only for America but for all human beings.”

Last week, Nigeria President Paula Tenobo arrested the ruling and all legislators for six months in the oil -rich state of Rivers, while Ologdy said it was a clear example of the executive excessive.

In the past, he said: “They were looking for their shoulder to find out what the American embassy would say in Abuja, whether there were sanctions (or) whether people would sit next to them at dinner. It is over now.”

The other leaders who were born in authoritarian materials celebrated the Trump’s unofficial position towards democratic checks and balances. When an American federal judge ordered to no avail last week to return the flights that took the alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador, Nayeb Bokil, Al -Salvadori leader, mocked American courts, and published X: “Olopsie.

The agent, which was re -elected by the landslide last year, has ordered the police and military forces to implement collective arrests of the alleged gang members that human rights groups say. Paid legal procedures. A video clip that was published in hundreds of Venezuelan who were classified in Salvadori Prison was republished by Rubio and Elon Musk, who thanked the President of El Salvador for his actions.

“What is happening in the United States seems familiar to us, but in Turkey it has gradually occurred over 20 years. In Trump’s second period, this sword of power occurs from other institutions very quickly,” said Zarakol, Academy of Cambridge Academy.

Zarakol said that the Americans may be less alert to drifting towards tyranny than people in Türkiye and other countries where civil society had to be constantly awake against the violations of power.

Picyin said in Yale that many people in the West have put a lot of faith in democratic institutions and rules. He said: “The natural gravity of the political system towards tyranny, and democracy is almost a deviation.”

Picyin said that the battle to preserve the rule of law internationally has become more difficult, as non -democratic countries like China have become more powerful. He said that Trump’s move towards a more tradition of foreign diplomacy had faster trend in dividing the world into areas of influence where the great powers such as Russia and China were exerting greater influence.

“I don’t say that we have Trump, China will invade Taiwan,” he said, adding that there are many other factors in Beijing’s accounts. “But is it a more convenient environment? Yes.”
