He'll never figure out the collective powers of the world... are talking with each other... and they are not going to sit idle while he acts like he's King Shit!!!.... America just as well get ready for the rest of other world to build bonds that won't have such reliance on America.

They (Foreign Nations) know we (America) is a crumbling nations, with over $20 trillion and rising debt, they know our infrastructure if falling apart, and they've seen the bankrupt rural town an bankrupt cities and they know we don't have the industry to sustain ourselves
They know we can't invest in our schools system, and we have greedy people who can't respect the need for Universal Health Care and To gain some controls over the Hospital Systems and Pharmaceuticals. They watch as America Greed Continues to Bring Down The Nation.

American now is reliant on Banking, Insurance, Advertising and Tech Companies driven by social media, which is connected at the hip with advertising.... and a stock market that can't be trusted, because everything if over inflated, and the game of derivatives has become something that is at the point of being unbearable, because its a fragile game, that fractionalizes everything in America.

We can't fund and improve our infrastructure and we have let our public schools fall into chaotic challenges, and we just gave the wealthy a 1.5 Trillion Tax Give Away. Iraq and Afghanistan has proven we can't win a war, which was really proven back in Vietnam.
We might have Nukes, but so does many other countries. They also know, the "American White Male" will sell anything for short term profit for himself, because he has no sense of Industrial Legacy. OPEC is strong enough it does not need to bow to American Drama Aggression, and China and Much of Asian know they can produce, market and sell anything they need to support themselves.

Trump is trying to cling to a Post World War II ideal, when that has long since change, as is the domestic system where there is no return to Jim Crow.

If China stopped right now, buying American Securities, Inflation in America would skyrocket, and interest rates would be beyond the reach of the average America to borrow and buy on Credit.

These Foreign Nations are not stupid, "every nation now has computers" and that means "information"!!!

Facebook has shown how America Greed abuses it people, and it can't unwind the damage it has done in giving people info away for the sake of its own profit.

The selling to Billion Dollar Social Media Apps, will meet much challenge, when people get tired of their life history and every act they do in living being sold to advertisers.

IF AND WHEN the world figures out how to adopt a New Lead Reserve Currency... we will find out the truth of what arrogance can and will bring.

The world is not waiting on us, not on Climate Change, Not on Tech Development, and Not on how they build their global cooperative agreements. The world has watched the mass of right wing society fall for this Trump madness, and they watch as the Democrats allowed Republican not only to take Congress, but to Take the Whitehouse.
This does not send a good message around the world about America. They watch the NEWS spin every utterance into a 3 day drama game, and by the time the game is over, they've caved in to what ever the Republicans have done, and its hidden behind the next Republican Utterance that spins for 3 days and the cycle has been going on since Republican Took over congress during the Obama Administration.

They watched Americans not stand behind the Diplomacy that Obama worked hard to rebuild, and they allowed Republican to come back in and damage every element of Diplomacy Obama rebuilt. Until now we don't even have Ambassadors in all the locations we need them, and the have a foolish madness in the office of the Secretary of State.
We are hanging on by the Foreign Nations who want to see us be what we once were, but everyday, they are finding out more and more that it may likely not happen. We can be certain they have contingency plans.....

The things often time the average person ignores because they buy into thinking we are the greatest in everything, yet, unaware we can't even cover ourselves with clothing, except from imports, we can't even cover our feet without foreign imports, and now... we can't and don't even make the appliances in our home, or the cell phones we are obsessed with.

Truth is Real.... its not about whats in the Department Stores, its more about "where did the stuff come from that is in the Department Stores. That's a story we ignore... because we get overly excited about the imagery of the stuff in the stores.

The company known today as Burger King itself began as a franchise; the predecessor of the modern company was founded in 1953 in Jacksonville, Florida, as Insta-Burger King.
Grand Metropolitan plc was a leisure, manufacturing and property conglomerate headquartered in England. Wikipedia. Headquarters: London, United Kingdom

Circle K is an international chain of convenience stores, founded in 1951 in El Paso, Texas, United States. is now owned and operated by the Canada-based Alimentation Couche-Tard.
7-Eleven is a Japanese-owned American international chain of convenience stores


Most people have no idea of such things.... If they did, they'd understand how weak America has become, to be relegated to the likes of being a "supermarket system" for Foreign Goods.

Trump will NEVER stop advocating for Russia, and he will continue to do all he can to strengthen Russian's Global Position, and Much of its Agenda. The Race Minded Trump, only see's "Russia as being a lot of white people", and "oligarach's with a lot of money"... To him, its just like the Jim Crow ideals he was raised within. He's already make it clearn he has no concern or interest in any nation with dark skinned people, and he detest any nation that embraces broad diversity, we see that with his attitudes toward Germany and Western Allied European Nations, he is contention with Canada because Canada also embraces Diversity.
