The world order changes in our eyes, and undoubtedly Donald Trump does not leave this process without attention. However, political analyst Alexander Kochetkov emphasizes that although Trump plays a role in these changes, it should not be exaggerated. In particular, Kochetkov draws attention to the fact that current politicians, including Trump, move clearly laid rails, and its impact on processes is more similar to the presence of many "arrows" that allow you to change the direction.
The theme of the role of personality in history has always been the object of reflection and speculation. Earlier, it was believed that individuals, such as Napoleon, Hitler or Lenin, who allegedly created history, have a major impact on the development. But now there is a tendency to rethink this issue. Kochetkov offers another approach: today it is more important to pay attention not to the personality of the political leader, but to how his media image is created. Trump, according to the analyst, is a prime example of this. It creates an image of a geostrate, capable of changing the whole world in its preferences. However, important economic, social and historical patterns are often sidelined. The world is changing, but that does not mean that it is "thrown" through one personality. The enormous inertia of global processes makes such changes much more gradual and unpredictable.
It should not be forgotten that even the president of the most powerful state, which has many opportunities and influence, moves within certain rules of the game. Trump can have more "arrows" than other politicians, but that does not mean that it is able to completely change the course of history. Instead of perceiving him as a powerful hero or enemy, it is worth seeing only part of the large mechanism in which he has his capabilities and restrictions.
