This man will do to America what he's done to every single business he's ever run: ruin it. We are still trying to get over the damage ronald reagan did, and that was over 40 years ago. There will be a continued uncoupling of the rest of the world from america. You can't hold global security, finance, and communications hostage to the political outcomes of a country where nearly half of the adults do not read at even a high school level. That is like entrusting all of your finances to an alcoholic with fukking brain damage that once upon a time used to be a decent accountant.
The tragedy is that the delusion of white supremacy will pull europeans into america's death spiral. They know that their only option right now is to work with China while they develop their own security structure, tech "walled garden" and making in-roads within China, Korea, Brazil, Japan, Nigeria, India, etc. around buying more Euros as a reserve currency and cashing out some of their US govt.

America has coasted off its post-ww2 status for too long. Once America decided it hated black people more than it loved being a functional nation and elected a white supremacist TWICE into office, it was a wrap. This shyt is going to be studied for as long as we've continued to study the trends that led to both world wars. America's decline is an opportunity though. Its an opportunity for countries who actually reign in the worst impulses of capitalism instead of rewarding it, to create a new world order. shyt it's not even really "new" China,India, and West Africa as a whole were historically powerhouses that had all sorts of exclusive things that the europeans lacked. When the Moors of North Africa showed up to Spain they hit the:
The dominance of Europeans and their American counterpart is a historical anomaly. If the lifespan of empires and nations is represented as a clock, America has been on top for maybe an hour at most. Guess what? Time's up
