The New York Times:
"Trump believes in making deals, not sharing values; in making money, not winning friends. His approach is insufficient to address the long-term challenges facing the United States."
Exactly! He doesn't need to face any long-term challenges at all! He has already prepared to withdraw the United States' global power back to the Western Hemisphere, and in the future, he may even just defend North America!
What challenges does he still need to face?
Is there really someone who would come knocking on his door?
This is the brilliance of Trump:
The entire United States, and even the West, is almost hollowed out. What gives them the courage to go out and plunder the world? Why not stick to their own small piece of land, focus on revitalizing industry, and make America great again?
Therefore, allies can be used for deals. Mediating the Ukraine-Russia conflict is also a deal, even letting his son-in-law take charge, keeping the benefits within the family. Mediating the Thailand-Cambodia issue, he often threatens with tariffs, which is also a deal.
Naturally, surrounding Venezuela is also a petroleum deal. Taking advantage of being at home, doing whatever they want, forcing sales!
