Hey US, remember that soft power you used to have? Yeah.
And the military power. That's out of the window too. If Trump's goal had been to systematically dismantle everything that made the US the dominant power in the world, he wouldn't have done anything differently from what he actually did. Not that I'd want to spread any silly conspiracy theories, of course.
Is it really a conspiracy if it's playing out on live TV, in real-time?
