I have to agree, as of now, trump is much more successful domestically than internationally. The quick wins he envisions are not there, and countries are getting into a “wait and see” mode. There’s even a TACO trade on Wall Street- trump always chickens out.
But then, we are four months into an administration that shoulders a lot of expectations. The initial artillery has been overwhelming and loud, and some of it is off the mark. Time to take stock - Trump is an agile leader, if anything.
Agreed. That begs the question if autocratic regimes are going to dominate democratic countries in the long haul. No clear cut answer, but we definitely need to operate from a position of strength. Too few western countries are imo …
Trump has been a complete failure on all fronts, which was completely predictable. I am more concerned about Canada. We need strong voices from all across the political spectrum that Israel exists, has the right to exist and that hatred towards anyone should not be part of Canada.

Yes and we have some 3+ years to go. China, Iran, Russia are much more focused on the long term and prepared to sacrifice to get there.

Regrettingly I’ve to agree with this very troubling, realistic description and analysis.
