Great powers often decline through self-inflicted blows. By starting a trade war he was unable to follow through on, Donald Trump may have just dealt a severe one to the United States.

    Let’s be honest. Maybe America becomming a dictatorship might be a good thing for the world on the long run.

    At least now they can’t posture as the good guys

    US used to be the abusive one in a relationship, but it was sweet enough, think things like, I’m sorry I didnt mean to start a war near your territory or sorry I overthrew your government, but we can still be friends. It has now gone fully bully and so countries will stop coming to the same playground.

      More like: It has now started bullying its lackies/people who can fight back. The change in Trump 2 isn’t that America became more of a bully, but simply that it’s now bullying countries that were part of the cool people club. Looking from the Middle East for example you’d scarcely be able to tell anything even changed.
