America used to be a global leader. Now, under Trump, it's fleeing that leadership role. That will ultimately hurt America's economy both domestically and internationally.
This is exactly why Vladimir Putin wanted Trump elected President and why Russia put so many resources -- most illegally -- into helping Trump get elected. Trump is hurting America. Russia, as well as China, are reaping the rewards of that damage.
Countries rise and fall in power over time. Great Britain is a perfect example of that. But Britain never deliberately took steps to weaken itself.
America under Trump, however, is the exception. Its head of state is hurting America and damaging its future potential, yet his supporters gladly cheer him on. They despise non-Americans and want an isolated, closed America -- which by its nature will be a weaker America.
Some on the left believe Trump is a knowing covert asset of the Kremlin who is controlled by Putin and deliberately sabotaging America, not unlike Kim Philby in the mid-twentieth century who did so much damage to Britain, his own country. I don't know if I buy that conspiracy theory; nevertheless, Trump is acting like he's a Kremlin asset, even if just unwittingly.
Or it could be that he's putting his own business interest ahead of America's best interest. So at the end of the day, he's just as bad as a Kremlin agent in the White House.
