Academic Tom Nichols believes he’s cracked the code on why President Donald Trump made the “insane” decision Sunday to scale down joint military exercises with longtime ally South Korea \u2013 and it comes down to the president’s “unbearable” and “ongoing humiliation.”<\/p>\n

Trump took to Truth Social<\/u> Sunday to announce that he\u2019d instructed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to \u201csubstantially reduce\u201d the United States\u2019 participation in its annual joint military exercise with South Korea, which has been conducted for more than 70 years<\/u>. In the same social media post, Trump also complained about South Korea\u2019s refusal to assist in the deeply unpopular<\/u> U.S. war against Iran.<\/p>\n

Writing for The Atlantic in an analysis<\/u> published Sunday night, Nichols bluntly argued that the United States was \u201cnow losing that conflict,\u201d and that the Trump administration had \u201csuffered one embarrassment after another,\u201d flagging Trump\u2019s recent escape<\/u> on a catering truck as a notable example.<\/p>\n

Nichols also argued Trump\u2019s attack on South Korea was directly related to the \u201cpresident\u2019s failure\u201d in Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica and the rest of the world are now witnessing a public exhibition of narcissistic rage. Trump embarked on a war for personal glory, and what he got instead was ongoing humiliation. He clearly finds it all unbearable,\u201d Nichols wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump both fears and respects the autocrats who rule Russia, China, and North Korea, and so he dares not cross them. Instead, he is seeking to assuage the psychic injury of his loss in Iran \u2013 including the American public learning of the shameful conditions<\/u> to which he has subjected U.S. forces \u2013 by kicking America\u2019s allies, the nations he can punish without fear that they will kick him back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Nichols warned that Trump\u2019s slight to South Korea would likely embolden those he characterized as the United States\u2019 adversaries on the world stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Chinese and the Russians and the North Koreas are certain to draw the appropriate lessons from this deranged policy. They have been shown, yet again, that when Trump fails, he hurts those he feels safe hurting,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlready, North Korea is dispatching missiles and thousands of soldiers to aid Russia in its war on Ukraine. If a conflict should break out in the Pacific or on the Korean peninsula, or if the war in Europe spreads further West, the world\u2019s dictators might well count on Trump to focus American wrath not on the enemies of the free world, but on the nations that have always pledged to stand side by side with the United States in a mutual defense of freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n
