The current US President Donald Trump won the US presidential election in 2016 under the slogan “America First”. At the same time, it was found in the center of the cyclone with accusations that Russian “cyber troops” were used to intervene during the election campaign to help elect the current President at the expense of Democratic candidate for US Presidency, Mrs. Hillary Clinton.

The “Russian” period of the presidency of Donald Trump
It took almost three years since Donald Trump was elected in 2016 to get the current US President to get rid of the accusation that his campaign was based on Russian penetration both on the internet and on social media.
In fact, we have the “Russian period” that described the internal political scene of the President Trump which began on the day of his election and officially ended on 25 July 2019 when special prosecutor Miller put an end to his testimony in Congress for any involvement of the Russians for the benefit of Trump and at the expense of Clinton.
The “Ukrainian” period of the presidency of Donald Trump
On the same day, the 25th of July 2019 begins atypical and a new period that will characterize the presidency of Trump, the “Ukrainian” period, and given the call made on that date by President Trump to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with the purpose-and as the revelations say-to put pressure on the Ukrainian President using US aid to Ukraine, with the aim of exploring the business activities in the Ukraine of Mr. Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, former US Vice-president and candidate for Democrats for the 2020 presidential elections.

So, according to the revelations made by informants, President Trump was supposed that he suggested to the Ukrainian President that he would delay the planned U.S. financial-civilian-military assistance (which has been approved by Congress) to Ukraine if it does not progressed directly into a cleansing operation at the expense of the son Biden.
The unpleasant thing about this case is that the impression has been made that several American officials and agents seem to have worked abroad to help fulfill President Trump’s political needs and not to promote interests of the United States.
The fact that the President of the United States seems to have “used”-as a bargaining tool-delaying the necessary assistance to Ukraine which has been approved by Congress in order to put pressure on its new-elected Ukraine President causes disappointment for the US allies and especially the EU and the UK, while this fact is extremely outrageous for a significant proportion of the American political system.
Congress has already embarked on President Trump’s launching process on the basis that he tried to harness the influence of foreign power to benefit politically within the US, from a country like Ukraine that is in an extremely difficult position.
Ukraine has been steadily pursuing a pro-European-Western strategy in the last five years, causing Russia’s outrage that annexed the Crimea (2014), which until then belonged to Ukraine, losing Ukraine and the controlling of its strategic importance Eastern regions which are dominated by Russian-speaking separatists who are supported by Russia.
President Trump’s “Ukrainian” period of his presidency began by provoking the angry reaction of the Democrats who-without great chances of success-set out the procedures for his dismissal or coercion in resignation.
Once again, as in “Russian period”, the first word and in the “Ukrainian” period of presidency Trump will have the US Justice, as President Trump and his support system refuse to cooperate with Congress in the ongoing investigation by creating a serious constitutional problem-who controls who.
The political and institutional crisis in the US as well as the division of the American electorate will continued during the election period in the US Presidential elections of 2020.
The “Chinese” period of the presidency of Donald Trump
On the other hand, undeterred President Trump, without caring about all that Congress has embarked on, asks the Chinese government to check the business activities in China of the son of the former US Vice-president, because the son of Joe Biden withdrew from his professional activities in Ukraine but remains active professionally in China. In fact, President Trump invited China to participate in the US election campaign as a regulator and modulator of the electoral outcome.
This behavior of President Trump shows that all he cares about is how to win his potential rival by any means indifferent to whom he asks for favors and for the consequences of this political behaviour by inaugurating at the same time the “Chinese period” of his presidency. China, of course, is not Ukraine who is in a difficult position, nor is it politically pressed by the United States.
But here there is a serious political dilemma and a problem of a serious moral and political nature. President Trump’s policy “America First” led the USA into a trade war mainly with China (and the EU) in order to reduce the trade deficit between the US and China.
Asking President Trump to do him favors by China, he automatically puts on the table of the election campaign for the US presidency China as the main regulatory factor that is in a commercial and not only war with the USA.
In particular, let’s say that China finds “real” or “fabricated” elements for what President Trump is asking for. What will be the exchange in return as much on as under the negotiating table equally, that will be given to China in order to give this information to President Trump?
Did they stop the crossings of the US Navy in the South Sino Sea? Is Taiwan left out from the US protection umbrella? Did the commercial war stop after President Trump win the election? Should be made a laxer agreement on the imposed tariffs in China? Or to remove the pressures for China’s full entry both in the EU market with 5G network technology and in the US market after the November 2020 US elections?
How will the American voter be persuaded that his President has not made a transaction with the “enemy” of his country to strike his political opponent, with real or fabricated evidence and what is the price for American citizens from this possible transaction?
Seeing the American citizen that his President deals with the enemy of his country in order to politically strike his American political opponent, what can he believe about his President? That has no moral boundaries in order to achieve his goal. By creating at the same time President Trump, himself justified suspicions and doubts about his choices and methods to American citizens.
How will the US President tell the truth to the American voters when it is generally accepted that the biggest lies are said before the wedding, during the election period and after the hunt and fishing?
