Trump has isolated the country to the point that we no longer have any clout to influence other country countries. He has made us into a toothless tiger. A laughingstock.

We have no voice in the decisions made by the up and coming challengers to America's once powerful authority to shape the world. Trump is a weakling, a cringing coward who has conceded our role as global leader and left us vulnerable on many levels.

It will take years to recover and rebuild our reputation.
