INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS2The United States of America has been at the forefront in ensuring that it maintains healthy regional, national and international relationships that seem beneficial to its economic dominance.In fact, if there would come a time when America feels like abrogating international cohesion, much of the blame would be laid on itself for backward movement of its activities. Since time immemorial, United States of America has been enhancing peaceful and joint trade for the benefit of every citizen in a bid to improve his or her living standards. As can be expected, it is the mandate of every American president to uphold all upright moves that do not deprive the nation of its glory and prosperity. However, the election of Donald trump as the current presidentof United States of America seems to have evoked a variety of opinions regarding his leadership moves. In fact, during his campaign, Donald trump spoke of making America great again. Conversely, his leadership strategies raise a substantial wind of doubts. Evaluating if President Donald trump is a realist will be helpful in giving credits his ideologies as far as American prosperity is concerned.President trump took hold of the introduction of new tariffs on the foreign sound in an attempt to improve domestic trading. One of the compound ideas regarding offsetting the different advantages in regards with tariffs is the actual time by which America will enjoy the economic boost before trade wars emerge to prove the practice unworthy (Banerjee, 2017, 3). Apparently, the introduction of tariffs to take care the internal business affairs of the particular nation tends toput the stakeholders at a position of retaliation, a moment that can be rectified by well coming to the external trade elements. Another important consideration that president trump failed to take caution on regarded their manufacturers. A close look at the value chain contributing to the success of America's trading affairs illustrates that American manufactured goods are underpinned by foreign countries. The implication is that any attempt by America to declare it

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS3independent by abandoning the efforts of international relations would do a lot of harm to American manufacturers. Besides, president trump firmly believes that North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has nothing to do with the current glory of America and that wiping it out of the system, could help stabilize the functions of the country. One thing that trump seemsto forget is that abrogating NAFTA will harm American trading grips since Mexico contributes alot to strengthen the value chain (Bourne et al.,2017,50). Of course, president trump is a dreamer in his thinking hence collectively leaving thinker within America in a shivering mood concerningcertain mutual trade benefits. President trump has worked towards bringing to a halt all donations to continents such as Africa and Asia. Most of those donations are medical aids such as the provision of antiretroviral and family planning drugs (Spalding, 2017, 80). Curtailing such subsidies from reaching the needy isa clear implication that birth control system will be affected therefore putting the barrier to demographic control. Besides spread of aids will move to great heights since there will be no provision of protective gears such as condoms. Failure to provide ARVs will attract more deaths,a situation that a real realist would work on to better the lives of every person. Inability to present medical aid by America to the developing countries will pave the way for poor relations among the members hence preventing America from tasting a share of the national resources(Mares, 2017, 160). Similarly, African and some Asian countries will divert their attention to developed nations in the east such as China and Japan for assistance and entrust them with their resources. Embracing greediness would foresee America wreathing as they seek to mend their deteriorating economy whereby no one will be willing to listen to them. As solid as it is, falsely thinking that America can sustain itself is a mere fiction that lacked quality evidence (Harris, 2017, 22). If at all Americans need to realize high economic goals there is a need to pick from

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS4where Obama left without changing important elements in the system for quality national and international benefit.Without any doubt, President Donald trump is far away from being called a realist. His views regarding the well-being of the Americans are blurred and cannot be condoned (Cha, 2016, 85). From the personal perspective, President Trump claims to have the objective of making "America first." One of the strategies to be employees toward foreseeing his objectives attained is by disjoining his nation from other countries. Although the United States of America is endowed with many precious resources, the idea that they can sustain themselves is a mere fiction (Coffee, 2017, 81). President trump declared that for a long he has been observing America being in a position to be misused by other weaker states hence promising to seal the gap. In addition, trumps in his public speech highlighted that America has been sacrificing its interests for the sake of other nations; a habit that should be contained if at all America wishes toretain its glory.Crane and Maguire (2017, 27) posit that President Trump alongside his newly appointed advisorshas a strong belief that dealing with trade issues is an aspect of domestic concern. For that matter, without hesitating trump showed lack of interest in the transpacific partnership and posting that America would rely on another basis for trading purposes. In fact, trump failed to understand are the specification of TPP among them being the abolishment of illegal business undertaking such as employment of child labor (Engle, 2016, 94). Having neglected the provision of TPP was an apparent show that the United States of America would continue exploiting child labor, a factor that would foresee the nation reaps less than expected benefits from such a platform. Another backlash of abandoning the TPP was that China could utilize the opportunity to join the transpacific partnership hence standing a chance to outdo the United
