President Donald Trump is at war. And it is war of attrition; against everyone and everything. His adversaries, mostly imaginary, span from Africa through Europe to Asia. Whether by design or by default, Trump is inadvertently rearranging the world. By word and deed, Trump subscribes to a cutthroat world where norms and values count for nothing. Like Ebenezer Scrooge, in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, all relationships are transactional, and outcomes ultimately reflect the naked exercise of power. But that is not the scary part. The scary part is his recent hint at possibility of a third term in office. No matter how ridiculous this may sound, Trump unlike other politicians, always follows his word to the letter. By now, he probably has already commissioned someone to painstakingly go through the US Constitution to search for every possible loophole, to fulfil the ambition.
