I've read that the TPP nations went forward under a slightly different name, keeping the door open for the U.S. to join them in future to keep China's hegemonic ambitions in check.

Leaders of over 150 nations know that Rump is not the U.S. and will be gone before long, hopefully before doing severe damage. The fact is, the planet needs us to be what we were. They're reconfiguring like crazy to be less interdependent, but in most cases it just is not possible to fill and shore up the many holes in the international structures that our failures are creating. We have a unique role.

Trump is an idiot and a fool. The world is laughing at how stupid and poorly prepared Trump is and Trump's stupidity is not good for our nation.
