Donald Trump and the Policies of Individualism in the United States, the Roots and Consequences

Two years have passed since Donald Trump's presidency of the US government, two years that Washington has exhibited a tumultuous foreign policy; every day news of Trump's new decisions has become media that describes the "unpredictable" US foreign policy. The progressive article seeks to understand the underlying causes of such changes, so the main question is what is the most important variable influencing recent US foreign policy? In response to James Rosena's theory of foreign policy, the findings of Trump's two personality studies, evaluating foreign policy positions, analyzing how he interacts with foreign policy makers, and their internal developments, argue that Trump's personality traits enhance his position. The "individual variable" has been the systemic, bureaucratic, social, and role variable of other influential factors in US foreign policy. "Authoritarian populism", "narcissism", "revenge" and "incompatibility" are prominent features of Trump's personality that reveal his hidden "self-centeredness"; these individual traits of Trump influence the weight and relation between bureaucratic foreign policy institutions and Institutions are now fully aligned with the views of the President.
