Economic and financial processes are inertial. Let’s talk about this again in six months—has Trump inflicted severe blows on the USA?

Here’s what I expect:
As the EU realizes what an existential threat Trump poses to Europe, decisive measures will be taken to strengthen European security and defense.

I assume that the destroyer Trump will blow up the very foundations of NATO.
Without the U.S. de jure and without Turkey de facto, sooner or later, a European Security and Defense Alliance will have to be created in place of NATO.

The conflicts, the insulting rhetoric, the aggressive ambitions, and the sanctions against everyone and everything (except mainly Israel) will spark global outrage, leading to widespread condemnation and ridicule of Trump. Almost no one will listen to or even acknowledge him.

I assume this will push the destroyer Trump to blow up the very foundations of the UN as well.

Of all the bad scenarios, the one described above is the worst of the worst. But so far, Trump-2 has been fulfilling precisely the worst of the worst scenarios.

He is a global Evil.

My hope is naive—that the U.S. will restrain and curb him. A chimera, perhaps.
But as my heart clenches at how we ended up facing this dangerous and deranged Evil, I have no other defense except to repeat, as always:

"Hope, like the first fool, dies last!"
