    Actually, I am really removed from the US domestic situation, and only impacted by the US foreign policy situation.

    I’m just trying to point out that he can use his threats to get what he wants, which is the only tactic that he actually knows how to do. Unless he got smarter since his last tern.

      The US has been losing its global grip. Especially since the genocide in Gaza the entire global south has fled to align with China.

      In the past the US had power to sanction countries such as Afghanistan to their doom. Now those countries have the option to align with China and Russia. The era of western dominance is not growing. It is weakening.
