The Guardian - The NATO summit exposed the real source of Trump’s power

 

10 July 2016

 

It’s important to understand the source of Trump’s power.

 

His power doesn’t come from his being president of the most powerful nation in the world. In fact, his arbitrary tariffs, absurd war in Iran, and outright abduction of Nicolás Maduro have reduced the US’s standing in much of the world.

 

Nor does his power come from his MAGA base, which is now having second thoughts about supporting someone who got the US involved in another Middle Eastern war, caused prices to rise, and whose administration still refuses to release the complete Epstein files.

 

Nor does his power flow from any kind of strategic brilliance or cunning.

 

It comes from his willingness to violate all norms, rules and laws - and leaving everyone else to pick up the pieces.

 

 

An excellent Executive Summary.   😲 

 

A totally uninhibited amoral sociopath, with dementia.

 

 

 

Agree

With the stupid Tariffs (that add costs to his citizens) countries will evolve away from US trade. Not an overnight thing, but its happening. 

When he is gone, in whatever format that occurs, the globe wont trust the US
