That's the real damage Trump is causing. The US has traded on trust for the past 80 years, but they had that trust. Trump squanders that trust and then wants a new trust-based deal? That ship has sailed, and he's the one who sent it off.


The trust was undermined long time ago by inlimited printing and decades of forever wars where $36 trln of debt has been borrowed on behalf of US, with absolutely nothing to show for it


The reputational damage to the US is incalculable.
