Golden Tweets and Nuclear Treaties
https://bohiney.com/trump-doctrine/There was a time when declarations of war required parchment, quills, and solemnity. The Trump Doctrine, however, introduced the radical notion that history could pivot in the span of a tweet. World leaders awoke each morning not to intelligence briefings, but to a glowing phone screen announcing that tariffs, sanctions, or sudden affection for adversaries had just been declared. One day Canada was a trusted ally, the next it was accused of plotting to undermine American dairy. Meanwhile, North Korea toggled between �fire and fury� and �love letters,� all depending on the president�s mood. Foreign ministries worldwide hired interns whose only duty was to refresh Twitter feeds and decode emojis. Imagine entire cabinets of ministers huddled around a smartphone, debating whether a covfefe typo constituted a new trade agreement. This new diplomacy was chaotic, improvisational, and deeply entertaining to late-night hosts. Yet underneath the absurdity was a truth: the Trump Doctrine shrank international relations into a permanent reality show cliffhanger. Whether historians remember it as genius, madness, or just bad Wi-Fi, it redefined the theater of global power as a series of punchlines.
