      1. A few people make this argument: once Trump is gone & replaced by a mainstream figure (Hatch or Warren, say) norms will return. Nope.https://twitter.com/chicagoterp/status/868872020284628992 …

      This reverts back to norm if Trump is removed

      2. Here's the deal: once you elect a clown like Trump, you lose trust not just now but for many years to come.

      3. A nation that elects a Trump once could easily elect a similar figure again in the future. That becomes priced into national reputation.

      4. For the Germans, South Koreans, Japanese etc. this is no joke: they've stake their lives on having stable USA foreign policy.

      I'm now in the region where countries are essentially forced to choose between US and China. But now, they think "well, what IS the US" ?

      7. I'm open to argument that the decline of America as a global hegemon is a good thing. Ideally should've been done more orderly fashion

          how can you remove a country from a place of hegemony in an orderly fashion without already having another country in a more powerful spot

          Britain spent its decline preparing post-hegemonic world safe for Britain. We are spending our decline destabilizing the world.

          8. From the point of view of USA allies, problem is not just Trump but entire infrastructure of gov't enabling Trump.

          9. Trump refuses to openly support Article 5 is bad. But almost equally bad is McMaster lying & saying Trump did affirm Article 5.

          Vast centrifugal forces being unleashed by decline of US hegemony. Equilibrium had discontents, but ask ghosts of the Somme about its value.

          It is one thing for EU to take on more responsibility, quite another if the EU thinks that the US leadership has shat the bed.

          decline as hegemon sure; but US with current arsenal and no sense of responsibility isn't removal of hegemony; its unleashing it

          Yes--disorderly decline is the way of things, and Trump may merely have spectacularized it (and possibly sped it up)
