A governance expert says America’s new President, Mr Donald John Trump’s occasional outbursts are dangerous since it could create chaos in some parts of the world.
Dr Vladimir Antwi-Danso, the Acting Executive Director of the Centre for Local Governance Advocacy, was speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Accra to express his views on the United State’s Foreign Policy direction, especially towards Africa with Donald Trump as president.
He, therefore, urged him (Mr Trump) to exercise a lot of circumspection now that he had been sworn in as president.
Dr Antwi-Danso, who is also the Director of Academic Affairs at the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College, noted that Mr Trump had not been consistent with his foreign policies during the electioneering period.
“Today, he says something, the next day, he says something different, and even giving in easily to the Russians,’’ he said, adding, “the whole world did not know his direction.”
Dr Antwi-Danso cited Mr Trump’s flirtation with Russia, China and Taiwan, adding that these were clear instances of his inconsistency and unpredictability.
For instance, he said, Mr Trump abandoning the ‘’One China Policy,’’ which he has been calling for all this while, showed his unpredictability.
“Maybe he is naïve and most of the US senators have called him a “naïve person’’ or he is not well informed because he is a kind of bully who bullied his way to office and doesn’t know what to do,’’ he noted.
Dr Antwi-Danso expressed optimism that the Washington governance institutions would school and shape him in order to conform to the values of America.
“Trump cannot do it alone and people should not panic because he can be eccentric and unpredictable, therefore the state institutions will school him on the dos and don’ts of America in order to guide his administration.
“Even Barack Obama was stopped by the House of Senate from doing certain things and shut him down and the federal system stopped working for some weeks because the House of Senate and Representatives did not want him to trek certain direction,’’ he said.

President Donald Trump needs to come to terms with the phenomenal change the world has grown to be. America needs to work to correct the errors they lived with in the past. American imperialism is a non-sequitur in our reigning world. There is a mighty lot that is wrong with what America thinks it is. America cannot ever go on taking advantage exploiting resources, organic and human, that are not their to take for free. Inter-dependence for harmony and healthy growth is a common fact of life.
