We are also experiencing the total dismemberment of American economic and diplomatic soft-power which was arguably the glue that barely held things together for us in the face of all of our failures since 9/11.

POTUS is making it impossible for anyone to trade with us, isn’t even trying to staff up the State Department, is ending as much foreign assistance as possible, and is proving the most loyal to dictators (and most hostile to the idea of one of our most important exports aka The Rule of Law).

Sad days indeed.
