The news media is not openly talking about the financial and social storm approaching. It's not just bad it's a Category 5 hurricane.
Just a couple of highlights:
Currently Canada and Mexico are openly discussing leaving USMCA trade agreement and Mango Mussolini has also said he doesn't care about the trade agreement.

I could go on and on. We are, slowly but surely, reaching a tipping point and once that happens it's unlikely we will have a way back.
This guy has absolutely and likely permanently destroyed any and all goodwill and trust in the world.
Everything from permanent closer of bases around the world to completely dropping the dollar as the international currency of trade, are on the table.
China sees this and is already in motion to take advantage of it around the world.
China is a massive economic engine that, given the opportunity, will easily crush the dominance of the US.
Many in the world are already changing their perspective on the US, viewing us as a nation in decline, a violent, racist and xenophobic hellscape.
In many ways that is a very accurate assessment.
