Yes! America has already lost its leadership position as it permitted Trump to happen to it. This fact could be gleaned from many recent developments.
See the wave of European countries that have left America in the cold to recognize Palestine. Such a development was not possible in the recent past. The European Countries could have waited for America to provide the lead, and the band wagon effect will follow.
Wait until the BRICKS Plus nations perfect plans for an alternative world currency to leave a dollar that has lost its influence as it is beginning to lose its relevance.
The Chinese have now rolled out their war fleet to oppose America in the Caribbean waters in defence of Venezuela that Trump wants to intimidate and bring to its knees. Russia just left Trump with a dirty slap on his face since after all the efforts Trump made, it has continued with its senseless bombardment of Ukraine against Trump’s avowed intentions.
As we all know, countries have been offloading their American bond holdings as they take flight to safety, making the bonds lose value as they become increasingly unattractive.
What Donald Regan predicted at the end of his regime that America would lose its hold on the world if it fails to remain the land of opportunity which opens up its citizenship to all and sundry is already taking place before our very eyes.
I don’t know how many of us have tracked reactions, which followed the show of shame, which bully, deranged Trump put up at UN confab80. I have never seen a President so pilloried and scarstically vilified.
Trump has become the butt of scathing and unsavoury ridicule and jokes. Although he puts up an I don’t care” attitude , Americans must be wondering how they lost it all so suddenly; so quickly.
One shudders to imagine in what poor place Trump leaves America at the end of his tenure. It is so very sad and unfortunate.
