Trump Destroys Americas Global Standing
A pattern has emerged where President Trump’s norm-defying actions are met with criticism from elected Republicans, who are then attacked by Trump and his supporters. This “one-way road” dynamic dictates that Trump’s behavior should be excused, while any criticism against him is forbidden. This approach has now extended globally, as long-time allies express anger towards the United States due to Trump’s consistent mocking and undermining of their partnerships. These allies are now refusing to cooperate on critical security matters and are even considering forming coalitions against both the U.S. and China, demonstrating the tangible consequences of Trump’s transactional foreign policy.
