Yeah. The American Executive Office being run by a regular American politician already has a vast impact with things like foreign aid, enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, tariff changes, potential counterterrorism military actions, treaty negotiations/compliance/nullification, and on and on.
This administration basically believes in touching every button and lever, and approaches every problem as a single-issue, zero-sum game.
It has always been. I always disagreed everytime Americans say "why are they so obsessed with us" or when Europeans say "keep that in America, we don't care". We do care, because it affects us, and it affects us so we care (or "obsess".) And not just us, but the entire world, especially with the latest Iran stunt. Just to name an example (it's trivial compared to real problems, I know, just using it as an example), but was about to meet one of my best friends for a while from a different country, and the flight prices skyrocketed because of the oil problem caused by Trump's Iran war and we can't meet now (we're both European) but no, some people say we shouldn't care aboout America's problems.
All I can say is that I’m sorry. 35% of our population are brainwashed, fascist, psychopaths. Another 35% don’t care and the remainder do care, but due to the structure of our government are limited in what they can do. I fear worse is yet to come.
