Donald Trump believes he can prevent World War III: 'I’m the only candidate to make that promise'

Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, is by far the country's most controversial public servant. Indeed, his rise to the most powerful office in North America was made of many scandals as well as questionable statements.

It is known everywhere that Donald Trump is a passionate user of social media. Before, during and after his presidential mandate, Trump was an active user of X, formerly Twitter, before he was banned. His need for a social media platform to vent on was so big that he created Truth Social in 2021.

In a recent video, the former president who is also campaigning for reelection in 2024 states that Joe Biden will lead the world into World War III.

Donald Trump’s terrifying warning

This is far from the first time that Donald Trump makes a statement that is terrifying. There were many during the Covid 19 pandemic that often led to aggressive responses from his followers. For instance, when Donald Trump called the virus the ‘Chinese virus’, there was an increase in hate crimes towards Asian people.

Now, as he seeks a new mandate in the Oval Office, Donald Trump states:

(Joe Biden) is leading our country to hell. We’ll end up in World War III because of this man and for no reason whatsoever.

The statement above was originally made on 17 August and this wasn’t the first or the last of Trump’s thoughts on the upcoming World War III. According to Menzmag, an online publication, Donald Trump took to his own social media platform on the weekend of the 2 and 3 September. They reported that Trump said:

This is the most dangerous time in the history of our Country. World War III is looming, like never before, in the very dark and murky background. ‘Leadership’ is solely responsible for this unprecedented danger to the USA, and likewise, the World. HOPELESS JOE BIDEN IS LEADING US INTO OBLIVION!!!

This is a terrifying statement that could very well show Trump's genius when it comes to campaigning.

Donald Trump may be ensuring his presidential success

This fear inducing statement may very well be strategic for Donald Trump. Indeed, by antagonising Joe Biden, questioning his mental state and decision making, Trump places himself as a saviour.

More than once already as he stated that the war between Ukraine and Russia would have stopped had he been president.

In March 2023, Yahoo reported Trump’s statement:

I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. (...) I know ’em both very well. They will settle.

Moreover, still in March 2023, Trump was putting himself forward as the one person who could prevent a possible World War III. He said:

When I say yes, I will get a settlement very quickly … I will have a settlement within 24 hours. Standing before you today, I’m the only candidate to make that promise. I will stand in the way of the Third World War we are heading for.

Now, months later, Trump is still using the same rhetoric and it appears to be working. On 2 September 2023, Vanity Fair reported that Donald Trump had ‘nearly doubled his lead over Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ since April. It also appears Donald Trump’s continuous statements about the unfairness and politically motivated nature of the legal issues he’s facing is also working as ‘60%’ of his followers believe ‘Trump indictments was politically motivated and meritless.’

It seems like Donald Trump still remains a master of effective communication.
