I think what many miss about Europe,Canada and the others is that at this point the US goes from one set of policies to another set as quickly as we go from Republican to Democrat presidents. One POTUS reverses agreements made by one POTUS then the election comes and the new POTUS reverses everything the one before them did. On again,off again,on again off again why bother with the US at all regardless of which party win's when it comes to defense and economy it's the same as hiring an employee who calls in sick every other day of the week. It won't matter who wins next time it's at its end it seems.
I don't think so. As the leading consumer nation in the world, the world like it or not has to negotiate with us.

Also, if the economy is doing great by the end of the 4 years, it would be stupid for the next administration to choose those policies to attack. If they were wise, they would only attack those that their voters have issues with and not their wallets. But Democrats as of lately have been self-sabotaging so who knows?

In one word you seem to have touched in part on the issue we have.

In the George Soros school of thought in US and elsewhere, there's this confusion that USA is going to die if it doesn't have allies while USA pays money and military to protect half of allies while said-allies go and do business with US rivals and foes for which the said-allies want protection from.

Make it make sense.
Can't. It's liberal logic. Nothing makes sense.

Like the way we buy oil from the country that killed 3,000 americans? But I think I already mentioned that earlier

BESSENT: “There are 50, 60, maybe 70 countries now who have approached us.

President Trump gave himself maximum negotiating leverage — and just when he has achieved the maximum leverage, he's willing to start talking.”

We are now fully negotiating.

"The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of promotion."—The Art of the Deal, p. 58

In other words: Manipulate, Manipulate, Manipulate!

Very curious how the Donald believes deceiving people is somehow a virtue; like he's doing them a favor. It explains why he viciously attacks anyone who calls him on his BS: he operates in BS; take that away and he's got nothing.

It also explains why so many of his loyalists continue to believe in him, even when he doesn't have their best interest in mind. He gives them hope (false hope really); and without that they'd lose their minds. Hope is good if it's Godly hope; but hope in something like "making America great again" is an exercise in futility. The only ones becoming "great" again are Donald and his billionaire cronies.

Really? No covert ops? How do you know?

And what are these terrorist acts?
Yes, Dude never ceases to amaze us with his access to what must be top secret intelligence that he has no qualms about sharing on a public forum.
