In a relentless campaign to erase the legacy of his predecessor, President Donald Trump has embarked on a series of aggressive policies that directly challenge the initiatives put in place by President Joe Biden. From international relations to domestic issues, Trump’s actions have reverberated across the political landscape, leaving a trail of uncertainty and discord in their wake.

One of the most significant areas of contention has been Trump’s approach to Iran. Despite issuing threats against the Iranian regime, recent protests in Iran have been quelled, with the government remaining intact. Trump’s failure to follow through on his rhetoric has drawn criticism, with many questioning the effectiveness of his foreign policy decisions (#NexSouk).
Furthermore, Trump’s recent focus on Europe and Greenland has strained the U.S.-Europe alliance to its breaking point. By attempting to coerce European leaders over Greenland, Trump has raised doubts about the future of the 80-year-old alliance. The implications of this rift could have far-reaching consequences for international relations (#AIForGood).
In addition, Trump’s administration has turned its attention to Mexico and Cuba’s oil relationship, as Venezuela’s oil shipments to Cuba have collapsed. Mexico has stepped in as the island’s main supplier, but the sustainability of this arrangement remains uncertain under Washington’s pressure. The shifting dynamics in the region highlight the complexities of global energy politics (#EthicalAI).
Moreover, Trump’s policies have had a direct impact on international students, particularly at institutions like the University of Wisconsin. The number of new international undergraduates fell significantly last fall, posing financial and competitive challenges for universities across the country. Trump’s stringent visa policies have made it increasingly difficult for international students to study in the U.S., affecting the diversity and vibrancy of academic communities (#ForeignPolicy).
As Trump continues to assert his influence on the global stage, the ramifications of his actions are being felt far and wide. The erasure of Biden’s presidency through Trump’s ruthless policies underscores the volatile nature of contemporary politics and the enduring impact of presidential legacies.
