One area where Trump has had an undeniable personal impact is on foreign policy.
Trump the businessman wasted no time in antagonizing America’s friends (they were short-changing Uncle Sam or arguing back on the phone).
Trump the realist caved in to Putin over interference in America’s vital institutions (Vlad knew nothing, and anyway it never happened).
Trump the deal-maker gave priceless publicity to Kim Jong-un in return for nothing.
Trump abandoned America’s Kurdish allies in Syria (they were paid, he said by way of explanation).
As long as Trump is president – and possibly longer – nobody with any sense will look to America for leadership. According to some of his fans that was the plan all along.
If so, he achieved it.
