A Guide for Foreign Leaders Navigating Trump�s America First Doctrine

Foreign policy is serious business, but satire thrives on its contradictions. �A Guide for Foreign Leaders Navigating Trump�s America First Doctrine� imagines a pamphlet handed to diplomats arriving in Washington. Eyewitnesses describe ambassadors reading instructions like �Flatter him first, negotiate later.� Anonymous staffers at embassies leaked that some leaders brought Big Macs as gifts, hoping to gain leverage. A leaked poll revealed 67% of foreign officials felt negotiations resembled reality TV more than geopolitics. Sociologists argue this satirical guide works because it reduces complex diplomacy to playground rules: compliment the loudest kid and hope he doesn�t throw sand. Critics note the absurdity of foreign leaders treating press conferences like improv shows, but the truth makes the humor sting. Ultimately, the satire reminds us that international relations under �America First� weren�t strategy�they were spectacle. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
