“When our leaders abandon #character, it does more than set a poor example.
“It accelerates decay. It tells people that principles are optional, that decency is weakness, that rules are for fools.
“It fosters a #culture of fear, where hesitation replaces #confidence, cynicism replaces #trust and self-preservation replaces the #courage to stand for what is right.

Since #WWII, the #USA had established itself as the anchor of the world #economy
This was based on #trust
#MAGA morons will never admit it, but in less than 100 days, #Trump destroyed it. He doesn't know what trust means
It's not coming back, for a long time, if it's coming back at all
The #USA will suffer greatly for it
But not MAGA morons
They are immune to shame
"Investors are growing concerned about a U.S. asset exodus as Treasuries and the #dollar decline"
Guess who is exploiting and taking advantage of my vulnerability and trust? My uncle. He can use any of my mistakes that he finds to justify bullying and mocking me. I don't even have money to pay for his liquid petroleum gas for cooking. I am really sad, and no one cares. I am still a student with so many debts that I can't pay. It's around RM50,000. What does he expect? Taking advantage of me? Using my inability to pay his bills and for LPG, and when I'm at my worst, it's time for him to kick me out of his house. I am actually homeless. But that terribly destroyed house doesn't count. My father wanted me to stay at my uncle's house for stable electricity. #FamilyIssues #Struggle #Support #Homeless #StudentLife #Debt #EmotionalAbuse #Bullying #Vulnerability #Trust #Hope #Vent #MentalHealth #IAmTheProduct #MutualAid #NoOneCares

If trust is important for developing & maintaining complex economic relations, what happens when a key market player (the USA) is led by someone that its increasingly clear is not trustworthy?
Trump's malign influence on global economics may in the end be much more about the erosion of trust at the level of international diplomatic relations underpinning global markets, than about any specific actions or reversals!

Excellent point:
Rep Suzan DelBene (D-WA) asked Jamieson Greer, the top US #trade negotiator, how any country can #trust the trade deals that #Trump is negotiating, given that he has “thrown out” previous agreements by imposing #tariffs, including the trade deal he signed with #Canada & #Mexico in his first term. Greer said that the #US was still “the consumer market of choice for everybody” [not for long] & the admin was having “several meetings” every day about new deals.

Regardless what Trump does, he will never be trusted by his former allies on any issue, whether it's trade, security etcetera. That boat has sailed. Those broken relationships will cost him and the USA dearly.

If Jeffrey Goldberg had not been invited to take part in the "chat" you can be certain we never would have heard a word about it.
Two ... no make it THREE questions come to mind.
How many other #asinine and/or #illegal things have #Republicans

Are they capable of doing ANYTHING that's NOT asinine and/or illegal?
What level of #trust should be given to ANY member, and I mean ANY member of the #GOP?

What does the UK say ?
Will they they keep their F35 and nuclear arsenal or will they pragmatically abstain when the aggression on Denmark will be unleashed ?
The Zapatistas avoid having to use their guns. If I'm killed when I could have been the one to kill, I will still have taken the wisest path. I will have lived in the union of means and ends. I will have died glad that those who knew me could find solace in that.
As helpful as it can be to hear ‘I love you’ in times of hardship, ‘I trust you’ healed my heart right now.
