Among supporters and detractors alike, President Trump's transactional approach to foreign policy has upended old notions about the U.S. as a global leader.

We elected a garbage leader. The garbage leader does garbage things. And so the world views us as a garbage nation. And, under the garbage leader, so we are.
The global leadership wasnt only based on military power or economic strength but also values and ideas of freedom, including religion and! science, protected by laws and a stable democracy. The US didnt experience a revolution, it was evolving, now a facist revolution might end all that leadership.
Still so happy about the election of Trump?? So what are the prices doing, everything cheaper, right? Stock prices up? Great bullshit!! MAGA where is it??? Come on!!!
Biden managed to lead US through covid and massive world inflation without a recession.
Comrade donald inherited a growing economy and within one month America is facing almost immediate recession.
Why?
I thought America was already rich and pretty great!
Apart from the guns of course.
The transaction: acting on behalf of an adversary in return for assistance in obtaining power. As a result of switching sides, old notions of American leadership and decency have been “upended”.
The capture of the executive branch should be a bigger story.
You're going the man too much credit using a phrase like 'transactional approach to foreign policy'... Would you describe a toddler screaming for ice cream as a child using a 'vocally managed approach to asset management'?
Let's go a step further: the FIRST FIVE WORDS of that headline were as necessary as tits on a bull. No journalistic law says you must always explore the two opposite poles of your mythical ideological axis before reporting on a subject. Without the cloak of the NYT this would be called "bad writing"
Who @#$% cares when you're on dr€qs? "Entry to this privileged class would be permitted only to those whose dedication to the world state was absolute and unquestioning. In short, you don’t get in by merit or ability but by being an all around one hundred percent shit." William Burroughs 1972
What I noticed about the big T guy is that he's a gambler. Right now he's gambling with our economy. Gamblers win about 25% to 50% depending on what they're gambling on. That means they're losing most of the time. Ugh 😩
We CANNOT be a leader on the world stage as long as Trump/Musk, et al, are in power. We have lost our world standing and with good reason. We will not be restored to our former position until we FUMIGATE the White House and rid it of the vermin that currently occupy it.
Haha, well *I* don't think we do, but our past of having respectable leaders is something we aspire to return to! Sadly, as is apparent to EVERYONE in the world with at least half a brain, we have probably the worst leader globally right now!
By the despot's pushing his way to the front of the G7 Summit photo, during his first regime, and his throwing paper towels after the devastation in Puerto Rico, and after he colluded with Putin to win 2 elections, he already upended old notions about the U.S. as a global leader.
May I suggest, “Republicans jeopardize US role as world leader.” Or “Republicans with Musk at the helm, betray allies.” Or, “The Russians Own the Republican Party.”
If you are hated globally, no way are you going to be a leader globally. Wake up America your arrogance and aligning with Russia are making you an actual future enemy of the alliance you are now in.
Every generation of Americans is doomed to learn the Republicans will destroy the economy in the same manner every time and prove unworthy of global leadership each time, but in novel ways.
NYT sanitized headline translation... "Even Trump Supporters Now Acknowledge Concern that His Erratic Behavior is Damaging U.S. Standing on the World Stage"
America doesn’t need to bully anyone. We know how strong we are, we know our capabilities, the real strength and beauty is we try to find a way to work with everyone without having to result to that. But Trump is weak and weak leader knows nothing but hurting people.
This is as "transactional" in a normal sense of the word as Vincent Adultman and his "business transactions". Sanewashing lack of coherent policies and outright batshit lunacy.
They should, because the rest of the world now sees America as a malignant, unintelligent power.
Demand for exports will dwindle as globally procurement teams are asked to qualify non American products ASAP.
No one wants to fund the bad guys.
Like having a toddler in the control room of a nuclear plant and people can only try to talk him into doing the right thing and not hitting the wrong buttons - but it’s all up to the toddler to make the decisions.
FFS..."transactional"? Trying to give Ukraine to Putin is not a transaction, it's a treasonous surrender. The only transaction taking place is whatever Putin has agreed to give Trump personally as a reward.
Hello US-Citizens! You don’t need to sit quiet around, you can write emails or call your government! tell them , if you dont like what they do. Please always stay calm and friendly. They cannot ignore all. United you are strong! Please spread this info, thanks https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm?OrderBy=state&Sort=ASC
I'd like to question how transactional it even is. Russia does basically nothing and gets favored. Europe takes on more but is left out to dry. Zelensky offers a mineral deal for more US support, Trump thinks he should have it without giving anything and Ukraine should say "Thank you Trump!" for it.

SECRET REVEALS TRUMP AND MUSK LIVE ALREADY ON MARS

The second Trump is the builder of Atlantic City : megalomaniac and ideologist ;
He was bankrupted after Atlantic City or, to be accurate, the Casinos were bankrupted and not him.

It can never regain its status after this, no matter what government follows this horror show.
Time to put America in its place.
No normal free democratic country belive this flag longer
So I ask the US voters, who is defending our interests. It sure as hell is not Musk Trump.
Transactional approach? No. It’s a Mob approach. Extortion
😂🤣😂🤣😂😉

AND USA is voting together with Russia, china, Iran and north Korea in the UN
Trump, Vance and musk are russian assets
Luckily, imperial rule by USA has ended some 20 years ago. Let it go.
