The consequences of TACO are becoming apparent.
Trump’s foreign policy frustrations are piling up
"Some world leaders appear to have calculated that the US president is not as powerful as he thinks he is. He keeps being ignored and humiliated by Russian President Vladimir Putin who is defying the US effort to end the war in Ukraine. Russian media is now portraying Trump as the tough talker who always blinks and never imposes consequences.
The president also thought that he could shape China to his will by facing down leader Xi Jinping in a trade war, but he misunderstood Chinese politics. The one thing an authoritarian in Beijing can never do is bow down to a US president."
