Fri Apr 04 08:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Trump’s Gut Instincts Shake Global Order, Experts Warn
**Washington D.C.** – President Trump’s reliance on intuition over expertise in foreign policy and trade is raising serious concerns among analysts. His recent decisions, including significant tariff hikes and the dismissal of National Security Council staff based on the advice of a conspiracy theorist, are viewed as potentially destabilizing the global order.
The President’s actions, according to commentators, fly in the face of decades of established foreign policy, which prioritized a globally interconnected economy and peaceful relations with even major rivals like China. This approach, characterized by a relatively benign US hegemony, contributed to a period of unprecedented global peace and prosperity.
Trump’s gut-based approach, however, prioritizes immediate gains and disregards the intricate web of global trade and alliances that underpin this stability. The dismissal of key national security officials following a meeting with Laura Loomer, a conspiracy theorist who believes 9/11 was an inside job, has fueled comparisons to a “cultural revolution,” highlighting the perceived unpredictability and risk of the current administration’s actions.
Critics argue that Trump’s trade policies, particularly the sweeping tariff increases, directly threaten the established system of global growth, risking instability and harming long-term American prosperity. The long-term benefits of a growing global economy, even with a slightly smaller US share, are being jeopardized by short-sighted decisions based on gut feeling rather than reasoned analysis, they contend. The odds of Trump’s intuitive approach succeeding, analysts suggest, are slim.
