Some would argue that Buchanan was very ineffective, many say the same thing about Harrison, and you can make an argument that Nixon was a very poor president, but nobody in my lifetime and nobody that I'm aware of historically has created the kind of chaos, economic destruction, and sabotage not only to trade partners and trade relations, but to the hard won relationships with our allies, and to the entire global ecosystem.

One has to wonder is this sabotage deliberate?

Is Trump deliberately trying to crash the US dollar?

Is he trying to make America less influential?

He certainly appears to be succeeding at that and failing at just about everything else. This latest episode in Davos was certainly the icing on the cake, and if ever he appears to be a ignorant, arrogant and foolish goon it is now more than ever before, post Davos.

Even by President Trump’s own mercurial standards, his whipsawing over the past few weeks on Greenland — insisting on the largest land acquisition in American history and then dropping it without explanation, threatening allies and then reversing himself — was a remarkable and revealing exercise in a new era of American coercive diplomacy.

“We want a piece of ice for world protection, and they won’t give it,” the president complained about Denmark in a speech to the world’s elite in Davos, Switzerland, adding with a hint of menace: “You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative. Or you can say no, and we will remember.”

But this week Mr. Trump also discovered the limits of his coercive powers. After he threatened a wave of new tariffs, markets fell abruptly, which always seizes his attention. Allies objected, this time openly. And by the time the president returned to Washington on Thursday night, it was clear that he had left considerable damage to the Western alliance in his wake.

When the climb-down came, it was with only the vaguest explanation from the president.

Even as Mr. Trump backed off, he clearly did damage to a post-World War II system that Washington itself had designed. It is a system that, for all its many flaws, helped prevent direct superpower conflict for three-quarters of a century. Along the way it brought huge advantages to the United States, extending its reach and amplifying its power.

After Greenland, nothing will be quite the same in the Atlantic alliance. The perception of how America envisions using its military and economic power has shifted, perhaps permanently.

For the first time since the end of World War II, the country that created the modern system of how civilized nations interact spent several weeks threatening to turn its military and economic power toward the cause of expanding American borders. To the Europeans, Washington suddenly appeared to be the enemy within.

“Every day we’re reminded that we live in an era of great-power rivalry,” Mr. Carney told the crowd early in the week, before Mr. Trump reversed course. “That the rules-based order is fading. That the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must.”

In response the goon said “Canada lives because of the United States,” Mr. Trump said. “Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.”

He acknowledged that NATO had sent troops to Afghanistan, but insisted “they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.”

That was too much for Mark Rutte, the secretary general of NATO, who usually flatters Mr. Trump in public and thanks him for forcing European nations to spend far more on defense. But this time he pushed back hard.

“For every two Americans who paid the ultimate price” in Afghanistan, he reminded Mr. Trump as the two men sat onstage at the forum, “there was one soldier from another NATO country who did not come back to his family.”

Is Trump the most ignorant and destructive US President ever?

Let's keep it simple, same as the POTUS:

Yes

The diplomatic isolation of the United States in Northern Europe is now unmistakable. Norway’s Prime Minister, Jonas Gahr Støre, has formally rejected President Trump’s invitation to join the so-called “Board of Peace,” delivering a direct blow to Washington’s Arctic strategy.

The refusal carries serious strategic weight. After the failed attempt to pressure Denmark over Greenland and a separate diplomatic misstep with Iceland, the U.S. administration had pinned its hopes on Norway — a critical NATO member and major energy supplier — to anchor its influence across the Arctic and secure the northern flank through a new transactional alliance.

Oslo’s decision shuts that door. By declining the offer, Norway has clearly aligned itself with what analysts describe as a “Resistance Coalition” made up of Europe and Canada, solidifying a unified Nordic bloc opposed to U.S. expansionist ambitions.

The move sends a powerful signal: even as Washington steps away from traditional NATO command structures, the remaining European states are holding firm — and the “Board of Peace” is failing to gain traction where it matters most.

Trump fails yet again. Waving the white flag is becoming quite a habit for this guy. TACO!

It wasn't Trump who Forced European nations to spend more on defence it was Putin and his invasion of Ukraine.

Yes, Trump is an embarrassment for the USA.

When he is history, the woodwork will open up on how bad he really was.............😬

Now the draft dodging scumbag is bagging the nato forces. Surely he has to be put away soon for his own safety. I meean he has to be put in a mental institution surely. The scumbag has lost the plot totally.

That's actually a pretty bipartisan view.

Only the captured Carnival People in Trump's Administration, along with the losers who are MAGA, believe otherwise.

During the recent House Judiciary Hearing with SC Smith, Rep Eric Swalwell drops some serious truth bombs.

“These guys, my Republican colleagues, are a joke. They’re wrong. History will harshly judge them…..these guys are so lucky they’re not under oath. Because then they’d have to tell you what they really think of Trump. They call him crooked, they call him cruel, they call him a scumbag…….I’ve heard you all say it. But when the lights go on and the cameras go on, you’re tiny. You’re small. You shrink.” (This is kind of funny, as in the C-Span video, you can see Rep Jordan, who is maybe 5’2” walking around.)

 

Swalwell finishes by praising SC Smith and telling him, “You, unlike many here, are a man of honor”.

Trump is a Total moron and an embarrassment to the usa, the sooner the yanks get rid of him the better

Trump didn't just insult NATO forces he insults his own the US military as well calling them suckers and losers amongst other things probably as a result of his own insecurity and cowardice.

He is a total disgrace and should be removed as Commander in Chief of the military immediately.

He is a coward he knows he is a coward dodged the draft 5 times yet those who did their duty for their country and served or died are "losers and suckers".

For him to become President is an abomination and those who continue to support him should be utterly ashamed.

Simply ,definitely a YES ... He needs a gold prize for been the worst President ever.

regards worgeordie

Maybe he's doing as he's told by the people who are paying him?
