Trump's isolation policies will help other nations willing to fill gaps left by the USA. which in isolation will become even more uncompetitive.

A pretty fair-go policy, internationally.

Good for the USA. Knowing her limitations in reality by now!

Good for Canada, Mexico, the UK, the EU, China, Russia, etc., individually.

Also good for any international business expansion of Trump Empire, imo.

Just Today, I think the world problem, especially the US, has been carrying out economic and scientific development historically mainly upwards vertically, rather than spreading the growth of economic and scientific development horizontally for reducing equality.

Perhaps a Union of S of A, just like the EU, would be a better format than the current United S of A format. lol

Was that Union format the original idea?! lol

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States

With the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln, the first president from the largely anti-slavery Republican Party, conventions in thirteen slave states ultimately declared secession and formed the Confederate States of America (the "South"), while the federal government (the "Union") maintained that secession was illegal.[137] In order to bring about this secession, military action was initiated by the secessionists, and the Union responded in kind. The ensuing war would become the deadliest military conflict in American history, resulting in the deaths of approximately 618,000 soldiers as well as many civilians.[138] The South fought for the freedom to own slaves, while the Union at first simply fought to maintain the country as one united whole. Nevertheless, as casualties mounted after 1863 and Lincoln delivered his Emancipation Proclamation, the main purpose of the war from the Union's viewpoint became the abolition of slavery. Indeed, when the Union ultimately won the war in April 1865, each of the states in the defeated South was required to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, which prohibited slavery.

Tillerson: U.S. Already Seeing Signs Of Russian Interference In 2018 Elections
By Nicole Lafond | February 7, 2018

During his trip to Latin America Tuesday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told Fox News that U.S. officials are already seeing signs of Russia attempting to interfere in the 2018 midterm elections.

And there’s not a whole lot the U.S. can do to stop it, he said.

“I don’t know if I would say we are better prepared because the Russians will adapt as well,” Tillerson told Fox News Tuesday. “If the point is, if it’s their intention to interfere, they’re going to find ways to do that. We can take the steps we can take, but this is something that once they decide they are going to do it, it’s very difficult to preempt it.”

Britain has been willing to cede direct control because they have 4 arms of control:
1. legal system
2. monetary system
3. physics standards
4. Queen's tea parties

All 4 devices of slavery and oppression are rooted in England. That's how they rule, by creating rules.

Anyhow, America has a chance to transform, or it will be destroyed. (Shiva)

President Trump is paving the way for a transformation, but is not getting much help. "Deep state" is undermining and destroying evidence that would incarcerate them.

IF Trump ever gets his stupid wall built a new sport could arrive with a gold medal for the first to cross it. Probably in the first week !
If he wants any help the architects of The Great Wall are surely dead but there may be a few from The Berlin Wall still alive !!

Probably not too hard for intended people wearing well-protected clothes and standing on the roof of a relatively tall truck, then jumping to another side of the future Mexico Wall!

With or without the help of a rope for better safety purpose.

Good for the construction contractors and workers. GDP surely going up!
