  1. It's very difficult to do business in a country that's got erratic policies, which is what the US is going through. But as for the US pushing the EU closer to China, maybe, but it's more realistic to say that the US is pushing a lot of the world away from the US towards other trading partners, which includes China, which isn't a smart move being that the EU and China are the two other major powers on the world stage, and it's no secret that China have been wanting to pull the EU further away from the US, which Trump is helping to do, China likely knows that pulling the EU away from the US weakens and isolates the US, making it easier for China to push its own agenda, the end result is, this big split with the EU and US is weakening the west. As for the EU, well they are coming across as the shining bacon, at least when it comes to liberal democracies, and it's looking like many countries are wanting to rally behind the EU. The US under Trump has broken a lot of trust and lost a lot of respect for the US, but let's be clear, this was happening before Trump, just that with Trump, it hit with a sledgehammer and that's a major makeup call for many around the world, that trust and respect takes years and even decades to build and can crumble very quickly as we are seeing now, the consequences of that both politically and economically for the US likely going to be big and hard to see at the moment, and I don't think Americans realise how much damage this could do to the US over the long run, and it's probably too little too late to reverse this trend, basically, the US has crossed a line that's will cost the US a lot, it's likely going to put a lot of pressure on the US Dollar reserve status, being as that's built on trust. Personally, what I think will happen, countries around the world will slowly shift trade away from the US to more reliable partners, that will over the long run have a big cost to the US economy, but it's also likely going to go further than that when it comes to politics, there are also major boycotts of US goods and services going on around the world, that's likely going to continue, this could also be the first real threat to the US Dollar reserve currency, especially as the Euro already sits at 20% and that was before all of Trump's antics, so chances are, it's likely going to speed that process up, and the end result of this is that history could mark this moment in time as the moment the US starts going in decline, something that isn't sudden, and is quite a slow process that most will probably not notice until it's too late, and I hope Americans realise what they've done here because these antics of Trump have really backfired and the irony is, the ones that Trump wanted to hit the hardest are likely going to be the ones to benefit the most from this, mainly the EU and China.
