How donald trump has changed the way diplomacy is done?

Donald Trump changed how diplomacy is done by making it more like a game of chess, but with louder players and fewer rules.

Imagine you're playing a board game with your friends, and everyone agrees on the rules. But then one day, someone jumps up, shouts “I want to change the rules!” and starts moving pieces in a way no one expected. That’s kind of what Donald Trump did with diplomacy, he made it more about quick decisions, surprises, and showing off.

Like a Surprise Party

Before Trump, diplomats usually talked things out slowly, like planning a birthday party, they sent notes, had meetings, and everyone agreed on the details. But Trump often acted fast, like throwing a surprise party without telling anyone. He would say something unexpected, like “I’m ending a deal!” or “We’re making a new friend!” all of a sudden.

No Need for Quiet

He also talked a lot, not just in meetings, but on social media, where everyone can see and react instantly. It was like having the loudest kid in class always talking over others. This made diplomacy feel more exciting, and sometimes more confusing, because things could change quickly and without much warning.

So, Trump changed how people do diplomacy by making it faster, louder, and a little bit wilder.
