The world says an effective goodbye to America
Its becoming increasingly clear after Donald Trumps embarrassingly narcissistic, not to mention insulting, performance before an international economic and cultural elite at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that the United States can no longer be trusted.
In the minds of many of Americas former allies, the MAGA slogan has turned from Make America Great Again to Make America Go Away. Trumps inexplicable longing to personally own Greenland has done even more to convince the world public at large that the American president has a screw loose.
Trump may eventually either slip into full-blown dementia or opt for a legally and financially cushioned retirement, but with the US presidency changing every four years, Europeans are acutely aware that theres no guarantee that a future president elected four, eight, or 20 years from now wont be just as unpredictably crazy and destructive as Trump. The US, in short, can no longer be relied on for either leadership or security.
Conclusion: With Americas credibility in the slag heap, its better not to count on America at all.

(3,404 posts)another Republican president just as criminal and corrupt, just as unpredictably crazy and destructive, particularly given the Supreme Courts codification of the Imperial Presidency and unitary executive dogma.
And things will only get worse with another three years of Trumps incompetence, corruption, and insanity.
Needless to say, Trump and his Cult members couldnt care less that America is no longer respected, that America is no longer a trusted ally.

Having zero standards is how you end up with a Trump.
