This can't happen fast enough.

Reliance on the US was somewhat workable under the prior regimes....clearly still self-interested and leveraged the situation for own benefit but maintained a facade of fairness and benevolence.

Now...US needs to get yeeted out of anything that matters asap.

> This can't happen fast enough.

This is true. And it is also true that it is going to be a multi-year, even multi-decade process. High-priority items first though.

To be honest, The second half of the sentence is true. People are sick of all that "winning".

That's a funny meme, though.

Trump has added trillions to the debt and is going to add trillions more. Even if he didn’t insult and threaten other countries, I feel like on an economic basis, the dollar is at risk.

> I feel like on an economic basis, the dollar is at risk.

The dollar weakness is due to the faltering economy which in turn is caused by policies pushing erratic tariffs, monopolization and cartelization of the economy, malinvestment and market bubbles propped by banana-republic money printing.

> Even if he didn’t insult and threaten other countries,

That triggers anti-American sentiments abroad which provide public support for anti-American economic policies. The actions of the US administration are very consistent and in apparent pursuit of a single purpose - which has nothing to do with what the top elected officials think it is.
