I suppose the long term question here is if the “rules based” international order was dependent on hegemony that Trump’s actions are destabilizing: will this cause a shift to a true rules based order or will another power step in to fill the hegemonic gap?

My bet's on multipolarity. I'm skeptical a "rules based" international order can function without a great power underlining those rules.

This makes sense to me. Who do you think will be the most likely to fill in as the underlying power? Germany? Do you think the EU as a block could function in this manner?

Not enough power to fill the vacuum. Projecting out decades, it's possible Europe congeals into a great power. But it's very unlikely the EU overtakes the US and China in the way the US dominated the later 20th century.

Watch yourself...that could be seen as a thought crime.
