Is Trump really all-powerful?!

The primary focus of analysts and politicians on the name "Donald Trump" has turned him — in Western media narratives — into an image of "absolute power" within the White House. In this equation, "Trump’s America" is portrayed as a "new and shocking phenomenon," and audiences, influenced by his peculiar manner of speaking, psychological irregularities, and his projected unpredictability, are swayed by this narrative.

In these portrayals, the U.S. President is depicted as an independent variable who single-handedly influences the entire governance structure of the country, challenging both hidden and overt power lobbies one after another. During the recent 12-day war between Iran and the Israeli regime — which eventually escalated into blatant U.S. intervention and the bombing of Iran’s Fordow nuclear facilities — this image, promoted by Western and opposition media, reached its peak.

But the fundamental question is this: Is Trump truly an "absolute power" in America, or is he merely playing the role of an independent and reckless politician?

It is better to answer this question with a clear example: Recently, a group of U.S. House representatives proposed a bill that would allow Donald Trump to provide B-2 bombers and bunker-buster bombs to Israel. According to this bill, jointly introduced by both Democratic and Republican lawmakers, such authorization would be granted if it became apparent that Iran had turned its nuclear program towards weaponization and sought to build nuclear arms. This bill, which is still awaiting approval and has not yet been finalized, would also permit unprecedented operational cooperation between the U.S. and Israel — including troop deployments, equipment transfers, and training — without transferring permanent ownership of such assets to Israel.

As can be seen, both Democratic and Republican lawmakers have played a role in drafting this bill. Trump remains tolerable to the hidden centers of power in the United States only as long as his actions align with their interests. If, for any reason, a conflict arises between Trump’s actions and those interests, the manufactured aura of this controversial politician collapses in an instant — dismantled under seemingly logical pretexts.

Trump himself has repeatedly claimed that he was a victim of these shadowy lobbies during the 2020 presidential election. Even at that time, his desperate appeals to U.S. federal courts and the Supreme Court for a review of his election fraud claims went nowhere. Yet today, the political playing field appears to have been cleared in Trump’s favor.

Whether this playing field is prepared or dismantled stems from forces and sources that define and legitimize the "player" within the "structure." Whenever the relationship between this "player" and the "structure" shifts, the player can easily be eliminated. Therefore, the constant use of the phrase "Trump’s America" by Western media is merely a deceptive tactic aimed at diverting attention away from the real decision-making and governance structures in the U.S.
