  1. Being passive is usually seen as being weak, especially to dictators or wannabe dictators in the case of Trump, we saw that over the last decade with Putin how Europe and North America were, for the most part, passive with Putin, so he kept meddling in western politics in Europe and the US. France is right, you have to fight fire with fire, if you don't, Trump will see it as weakness and will come back for more, regardless of which country, so fight fire with fire and make it just as costly for the US, that will likely put a lot of pressure on Trump to back down as we've seen him do a lot already, whiles all that is going on, countries around the world should continue to actively shift trade away from the US to more reliable partners, over the long run, this is hitting the US far harder than it hits the rest of the world. The US is basically being seen as a less reliable trading partner now, so even if Trump does get kicked out at the end of his term, having this seesaw where another Republican lunatic enters the White House is really bad for business, no country or corporations want to invest in a country when the political landscape is that unstable, that is where the major damage is being done to the US, trust is being eroded. On the silver lining, whiles the US becomes more isolated and trade shift away from them, others stand to benefit from that, the EU, China and Canada stand to gain the most, the EU because countries are looking for a credible big enough power to the US, the EU is the only credible one around, then we have China, they've been wanting to pull the EU further away from the US for quite some time because that weakens and isolates the US, which is what China wants, then we have Canada, they benefit because they are seen as a reliable hub into North America, basically corporation from the US and around the world are choosing Canada over the US. The crazy thing is about this, a lot of the world has a lot to benefit the longer Trump stays in power and keeps playing these antics that it wouldn't surprise me if secretly, they want this to continue so that a major political and economic balance of power shifts away from the US, and the irony is, it's probably already too late for the US now, but it's going to be even worse the longer Trump is in power, so it's going to be interesting to see that moment when the penny drops and the American people realise how much they've messed up here.
