His problem seems to be the replacement of method with impulsive madness.

 

Maybe someone could send him a copy of 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu?

"To win without fighting is the greatest victory."

"When you are strong, appear weak."

"The greatest battle is that which does not need to be fought."

 

I.e. don't deliberately provoke everyone, including your allies.
Show humility.
Seek common ground.

 

Prior to last year's election, a Kremlin spokesman [Peskov?] was asked what the Russian government thought of Trump.  The reply was something like "We are sympathetic to many of his pronouncements.  But Trump is a wild card."

 

Colonel MacGregor who was a military advisor to Trump during his first term, is now critical of him - and of previous administrations going back at least as far as the Cold War - for "lack of strategic thinking".  Which includes undertaking wars with no clear political aim beyond "crushing the enemy".

 

Henry Kissinger, in his time, expressed similar opinions, criticizing the demonization of Putin in lieu of strategic thinking.  He was doubtlessly well aware of the work of Halford Mackinder, and the need to maintain U.S. dominance, thanks to maritime power, by not pushing Russia and China together.

Trump's stated goals are laudable laughable.
