DONALD TRUMP'S AMERICA FIRST PROGRAM WILL MAKE U.S. WEAKER: REPORT

BY GRAHAM LANKTREE ON 1/2/18 AT 9:49 AM

America’s influence on the world stage will decline in 2018 due to President Donald Trump’s America First policies, according to a new global risk report.

“The decline of US influence in the world will accelerate in 2018,” reads the study released Tuesday by Eurasia Group, a consultancy that advises hedge funds and multinational corporations about how politics will impact business.

“With little sense of strategic direction from the Trump White House, U.S. global power, used too aggressively by George W. Bush, then too timidly by Barack Obama, is sputtering to a stall,” the report finds.

Under Trump’s America First policies—including his protectionism, unilateralist approach to foreign policy, and confusing tweets and rhetoric about U.S. allies—the American-led world order has “eroded,” write the report’s authors, Eurasia Group’s President Ian Bremmer and Chairman Cliff Kupchan.

Was inevitable given the GOP's greed and corruption.

Their wars of profit, use of torture, crashing the economy, refusal to follow the
rule of law, election tampering, deliberate lowering of the standard of living
for every day Americans.

We are no longer a democracy, we are ruled by oligarchy.
America is no longer as trusted or respected as it once was.
Even when a good guy like Obama is in office, the world sees
that the next guy will over turn everything.
