No matter what happens, I believe the author is correct. Europe will not trust the US in a long time. Trump actually has managed to destroy the image of America in the entire world, in a few months.

I can’t stop watching this train wreck. I mean fuck it’s bleak but I just can’t look away.
Anyone care to guess what’s in store for the week to come?
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a run on TP.
I read some comments about food shortages as Mexico exports to other markets. I wonder how likely that is?
I just have no. freakin. idea. how the MAGA crowd is going to react to price increases. I mean, it’s pretty hard to explain any of this away or blame it on anyone else. Even official propaganda people don’t know what to say.
Is a mutiny even in the realm of possibility? If there are food shortages and riots, would the republican house ever pass an impeachment?
Repubos won’t ever think critically about it. Trump said things have to get worse before they get better. So like Christians thousands of years ago (and today) they will go through the hardship thinking that there’s a better life awaiting them. But it won’t ever come.
Best case: Trump gets impeached, Vance takes over and they walk back some of this bullshit.
Worst case: Trump brings the army to start un-terrorist-ing protestors, declares martial law and enacts even worse policies.
Vance is more protectionist than Trump. Trump has surrounded himself with a group of people who believe in American exceptionalism and isolationism like a religion.
Laura Loomer (far right conspiracy theorist who plays Jigsaw in the Saw horror film franchise) came in and advised Trump to fire National Security Agency director Gen. Timothy Haugh as well as multiple others for disloyalty, in favour of more Trump-friendly appointees.
This is usually a a step before we go full Emperor has no clothes because intelligence is supposed to be apolitical. If Trump only wants intelligence that feels good to him, then the US is truly fucked.
Its doubtful that America will recover from this. The rest of the Western world needs to figure out how to make their soft landing.
Worst case sounds like Trumps usual behavior.
