      This a crucial point: USA commitment to global order depended on bipartisan elite consensus from 1945-2016 which allowed policies to survive despite popular opposition. Trump has broken than consensus. https://twitter.com/pstanpolitics/status/1005623915564040192 …

      A lot of the American elite think they can put the egg back together again. If Trump is defeated in 2020, they can return USA to being pillar of international order. I have my doubts.

          Baseline fact is USA is a very wealthy, militarily strong country that does business all over the world. For foreseeable future it'll be a global player despite Trump's clownishness. But being a major player not same as being pillar of international order.

          USA was big global player without being pillar of order from late 19th century to 1941. In some ways, Trump is a returning USA to that period.

          One thing is there are no plausible alternative global hegemon. China is getting richer but has limited cultural & diplomatic reach. Europe is fraying. Russia is poor & erratic. Likeliest alternative is regional hegemons with big spheres of influence.

          Nope. The trust will be irreparably broken at that point. We already buckled once; when will we again?

          feel you, but there isn’t even a close 2nd or 3rd to fill the void. The gap between the US and the rest of the world’s countries in playing credible leader is massive.

          Why would any government ever trust us to not elect another clown? This is game, set, match.

          This assumes he’ll still be around and in office to *be* defeated. A lot can happen in two years (like the end of the post-WW2 order, for instance.)
