The article discusses the dramatic shift in U.S. foreign policy over the past decade, highlighting a notable exchange between Donald Trump and Marco Rubio from 2016. Initially dismissed as an outlier, Trump has emerged as a central figure in reshaping American leadership globally, evidenced by his bold proposals, including plans to take control of Gaza. This evolution reflects a broader trend towards personality-driven governance rather than traditional expert consensus. As Trump moves to assert U.S. influence, questions arise about the future of international relations under this new paradigm.
