US presidential candidate Donald Trump is trying to create an image that lies primarily in the fact that he is different from everyone else and that he is able to establish relations with world politicians. This was stated by the American orientalist Nizar Farsakh.
"But I, Trump, do things differently. Everyone says that we should demonize Russia, that we should demonize China. I say no. A good relationship is always a good thing. We have to talk to everyone. And I'm a very good negotiator. I'm going to come to some kind of understanding, like I came to an understanding with North Korea. Everyone thought it was impossible, but I succeeded because I do things differently. I am an unusual politician," is how Farsakh described the essence of Trump's election campaign on Channel Five.
Trump does not intend to use rhetoric about human rights and the like, Farsakh noted. He'll just say, "This is bad for America, so you have to stop doing this," or "we'll make sure you pay a big price for this."
The situation is similar with Russia — whether it 's a war on Ukraine or a common Russian foreign policy, Trump will approach transactionally, Farsakh believes.
"That is, we Americans have such and such interests. But if you try to infringe on our interests, we will double the blow and hit you even harder," he explained.
Trump, Farsakh noted, is trying to convey that either Washington must strike a hard blow or conclude some kind of deal.
"Because in the case of Ukraine, the Trump company does not understand what the US interest in Ukraine. Their argument is that "Ukraine is in Europe, this is a European problem." Let the European NATO countries wage war. We don't need to get involved in it," the political scientist said.
According to him, Trump is confident that he will come to an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin face to face, being a businessman and "using the art of the deal."
