this is the REAL cost of the Trump debacle....

....a slide in global infuence which seems to be accelerating daily. The goofy orders can be undone, the Russian IOUs can be investigated, the bad law can be survived for a bit, but THIS sort of stuff is becoming routine, and WILL NOT BE recoverable from, should it not be stabilized quickly:

note the source. Not MSNBC, nor Fox, nor BreitFarts, nor any US journalism outlet. No, for this sort of stuff, it helps to see what the Indians are following closely. They have reason to worry about any hegemony between these two.

We never had any influence over NK in the first place…I don’t really see a problem here, if the Chinese and Russians can actually convince the Koreans to stop their nuclear program, I think it would be great.

And NK just successfully launched it's first ICBM, which has the range to hit Alaska. Now with Trump sending our navy's ships close to that man-made disputed Chinese island in the South China Sea, I think that tensions have just been ratcheted up a notch.

Japan, during the G20 week, signed a major trade deal with the EU that undercuts a host of American businesses, including farmers.

I guess Trump really isn't so good at his "supposed" superior art of the deal. Suck it American farmers. :wink:

as David Letterman put it the other day: He'd have been fired trying to run a Dairy Queen.
