(#6347) The world isn't dependent upon trump and he is finding out the hard way!

      When trump took office last year he had a lot of advantages to protect and increase. Yet trump doesn't operate from safety and security. He operates from a bullying style that he has found in his personal and business life somewhat successful albeit ruthless. His ego is out of proportion with reality when he thinks that he can bully the world into submission. The world shakes its head and rather disappointedly moves on. Then what trump is left with is no advantages like those he started with. He took many countries away from himself when he started out the gate with tariffs on everyone everywhere. Well maybe more selective than that but not by much.
     Immediately the European Union, Canada, Mexico, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and more were targeted with his surcharges on their incoming products. The tariffs weren't paid by these countries but their goods became more expensive to Americans. What trump thought would be a more submissive attitude by these geographic areas turned out to be them snubbing America and realigning their commerce within themselves. They still sold their products here in America but with no coercive bullying attached. We Americans paid the extra tariff price because we still wanted their overseas goods. Same held with military ties. NATO has been forced to realign without American leadership that trump thought would bring them to their knees.
     Well NATO has not knelt to trump and has instead refortified itself with a more concerted internal effort. The bullying style of trump is a failure on the world stage and is becoming increasingly clear it is a failure here in America. The result of the duress trump has put to everyone he has demanded a worshipping allegiance from is coming back on trump as dismissal and distrust. Instead of trump having these many advantages he received upon taking office he has managed to squander them with an arrogance that is impossible to disguise. The only group left that is still unable to find the courage to say no to trump is his own republican political party. May they both find the cause and effect of the Karma they truly deserve.
