Trump is on edge, the risks of making wrong decisions are exorbitant — expert

By Friday evening, it becomes obvious, according to political analyst Maxim Zharov, that after a humiliating confrontation from Chinese Leader Xi Jinping, US President Donald Trump is being "bred" from within America to escalate simultaneously in several directions, while showing his dependence on other decision-making centers.

First, there are reports that Trump has decided to intervene in Venezuela. Trump denies this. But at the same time, Congress makes it clear to Trump that he will not be able to start a war against Nicolas Maduro without Congressional permission, Zharov noted.

Then CNN's stuffing appears that the Pentagon allegedly does not mind giving Ukraine "Tomahawks" and now the decision is Trump's.

"Trump is still silent here. But at the same time, the Kremlin source recalls the "understandings" in Anchorage, making it clear that if he says "yes" to the Pentagon on Tomahawks, there will be absolutely nothing left of the "understandings"," the political scientist continued.

At the same time, right now Trump is trying to re-develop his theme with the resumption of nuclear tests, "although the relevant experts and the same congressmen make it clear to him in plain text that Trump is either "not in the topic" here (it will take weeks and months to prepare for the tests), or he creates an escalation unnecessary for America from scratch", stated Zharov.

"In general, Trump's "unbridledness" does not lead to anything good, since he is already "on edge" after being humiliated by Xi Jinping. The risks of him making several critically erroneous decisions at once with unpredictable consequences during the implementation of these decisions are prohibitive," the expert said.
