On November 21, 2024Trump-hater Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Adviser of the revolutionary interim regimein Bangladesh, was featured in ‘TIME’ magazine, sharing his visions amidst a dramatically shifting geopolitical landscape. During the interview, when asked how he would cope with President Trump,Dr.Yunusstated, “Trump is a businessman; we are in business. We are not asking for free money to help us out of some crisis; we want a business partner”.

While intended to convey pragmatism, this statement raises critical concerns. Such a simplistic portrayal of geopolitics as a mere business transaction undermines the intricate power dynamics of global leadership. Furthermore, it also undermines President Trump’s recent tweet centering ongoing persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh.

On the occasion of Hindu festival of Diwali, Donald Trump tweeted:

“I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos.

It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border, but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back Peace through Strength!

We will also protect Hindu Americans against the anti-religion agenda of the radical left. We will fight for your freedom. Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good friend, Prime Minister Modi.

Kamala Harris will destroy your small businesses with more regulations and higher taxes. By contrast, I cut taxes, cut regulations, unleashed American energy, and built the greatest economy in history. We will do it again, bigger and better than ever before – and we will Make America Great Again”.

Dr.Yunus, with his background as a banker-turned-Nobel laureate, appears to struggle with transitioning into the role of a statesman. Leading a nation demands a detachment from past professional instincts to avoid conflicts of interest. His apparent naivety in underestimating a political figure like Donald Trump, especially when viewed against the backdrop of America’s complex political machinery, signals a troubling lack of political acumen.

Yunus’s alignment with the Democratic Party in the United States is no secret. His close associations with prominent Democrats like the Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and George Soros have cemented his branding as a staunch Trump-hater. Yunus openly criticized Trump’s 2016 victory, likening it to a “solar eclipse…which must not destroy us and suck our spirit”. He remarked that the election had “fallen victim to the wrong type of politics”, urging Trump to embrace a more inclusive vision, one that “builds bridges” rather than walls.

Mohammad Yunus’s longstanding affiliations with globalist ideologies and the Democratic Party now place him at odds with Trump’s policies and political resurgence. This historical animosity complicates Yunus’s current attempts to recalibrate his stance, highlighting his desperation in forging connections with the Trump camp.

Following Donald Trump’s resounding victory, Yunus’s nervousness has become palpable. Fully aware that Trump’s potential second term could usher in a more assertive approach towards adversaries, Yunus appears to be scrambling to secure his footing. Reports suggest that Yunus has sought the assistance of Ric Grenell, a Republican and former Acting Director of National Intelligence, to act as a bridge between himself and Trump.

Grenell’s affiliations with ‘Republican In Name Only’ (RINOs), including figures like John Bolton and Liz Cheney, have complicated matters. Trump’s mistrust of such intermediaries has kept Yunus’s overtures at arm’s length. Adding to the intrigue are Yunus’s ties with Huma Mahmood Abedin, a Pakistani-American political figure engaged to Alex Soros, and Awal Choudhury, a Republican with controversial links to Islamist group CAIR. These connections have further muddied the waters, underscoring Yunus’s increasingly frantic attempts to navigate an unfavorable geopolitical terrain.

Yunus and his inner circle had placed significant hope in a Democratic victory in the 2024 US elections, banking on Vice President Kamala Harris to secure the presidency. This misplaced confidence now leaves them ill-prepared to deal with the seismic implications of Trump’s historic reelection.

Some of Yunus’s inner circle dismiss the possibility of significant policy shifts under a Trump administration, citing the checks and balances of institutions like the CIA, Pentagon, and Congress. However, this analysis ignores the reality of Trump’s consolidated control over the US Congress, Senate, and key establishments. Yunus’s administration seems blind to the potential fallout, such as the imposition of tariffs on Bangladeshi exports – an eventuality that could cripple the nation’s economy.

A month before the US elections, I authored several articles predicting Trump’s return to the Oval Office, presenting clear facts and figures to substantiate my claims. These articles, published in ‘Weekly Blitz’, drew immense criticism from various quarters. Despite the backlash, the accuracy of my analysis now stands vindicated.

The dismissal of my projections by sections of the media and political analysts reflects a broader trend of underestimating Trump’s enduring appeal and strategic maneuvering. This miscalculation has left figures like MuhammadYunus scrambling to adapt to a dramatically altered geopolitical reality.

In Bangladesh, there is a widespread belief that the editors of ‘The Daily Star’ and ‘Prothom Alo’ exert significant influence over the Yunus administration. While it is true that these editors maintain close ties with the Clinton camp and the Democratic Party, their global impact remains minimal.

The Yunus government’s reliance on these figures for strategic counsel is misguided. With Trump’s return to the White House, such Democratic-aligned allies become ‘Heavy Cargo’ for Bangladesh. As Trump assumes office, the Biden administration’s officials, along with their allies in media and diplomacy, will find themselves ousted from power house, leaving Yunus’s administration isolated.

Given the current geopolitical context, Yunus has limited options. His best course of action may be to step down before Trump’s administration holds him accountable. The idea of organizing a national election within six months is impractical, if not outright delusional.

A potential intervention by the military could emerge as a means of stabilizing the nation during this critical political juncture. However, such a move would come with its own set of challenges, emphasizing the urgency for Yunus to relinquish his position and pave the way for a more pragmatic leadership.

Yunus’s recent overtures to Donald Trump highlight a desperate bid to remain relevant in an increasingly hostile geopolitical environment. His failure to transition from a celebrated banker to a capable statesman has left Bangladesh vulnerable to the shifting dynamics of global power.

As Trump prepares to reassume the presidency, Yunus’s alignment with Democratic Party and his underestimation of Trump’s influence now threaten to destabilize his administration. The time has come for Yunus to confront the realities of his position and make decisions that prioritize the nation’s interests over personal ambition. Muhammad Yunus needs to realize – he will be left “out of league” to Donald Trump and members of his administration. Most importantly, Trump shall be extremely harsh on ongoing atrocities on Hindus as well as rise of ultra-Islamists in Bangladesh. America under Trump administration shall not allow emergence of another “Afghanistan” in the world.
