Abstract
The victory for Donald Trump in presidential election on 8th November 2016 gives big influence for the political
order in the world. Trump spreads fear for the world due to his controversial figure. Mainly for the Muslim world caused by
his political statement discredited Islam as the community which has potent to be the terrorist. This paper tries to describe
and differentiate the relationship between the United States (West) and the Islamic world beginning from George Walker
Bush, Barack, Obama, and tries to predict the relationship under Trump’s administration. In this paper, it’s explained that
since the attack of World Trade Center in 2001, Bush’s administration campaigned for combating the terrorist (Islam) group
in the world. The impact was the increase of islamophobia (hatred toward Islam) in the West and the rise of radicalization in
Islamic world. It was the legacy from Bush. When Obama came in 2008, he tried to make good relationship between the
West and Islamic world, including Indonesia. Even though Obama doesn’t succeed fully, but at least he could decrease the
political tension. Now, Trump is coming in with his controversial figure. What will happen in the global world order under
Trump’s administration? This paper tries to see the relationship and the response from the Islamic world, mainly from
Indonesia as state where Islam is the majority. This paper also explains the response of the Indonesian mainstream media
with the victory for Donald Trump in presidential election.
