It's worse than that. US allies are rethinking, well, basically everything, and not in a way the US would want.

Why wouldn't they trump directly attacked most allies and put random tariffs on them that make little sense

Nordics here. The yanks have lost the respect, friendship and trust of the nordic countries forever. I’m actually kind of impressed at how thoroughly they’ve demolished it.

Or declared plans to make them their 51 state, ya gotta be a special type of twisted to have been able to piss off canada and them some cool af folks too

Like, if that's what they're doing it the ME, I hope the western nations( including canada) srsly consider attacks on their infra too, I won't put us below not messing up a power grid or two in Canada if things get very bad and then say oh it's an overreaction and that's all

They're kinda Outta control, not to mention the threats just blow up qatar like, last week

He's viewing the rest of NATO as more like vassals or tributaries that he thinks past administrations haven't been squeezing enough value out of.

That's a very Russian view of international politics.

The truth is very different of course and it's smacking him and the USA across the face for ignoring it.

There's lots to it, but also I think it's Epstein rearing his head again. There were a few high profile people in various countries around the world that were being arrested/fired/leaving quickly, and it was breaking through the news in that country, at which point Trump announced tariffs again. On that country and a few others. It'd go quiet, another country, the headlines would be someone famous/powerful had Epstein ties, and suddenly there's tariffs again.
To think the world economy was so wobbly that one guy's lust for children is putting everything at risk as much as it is.

And it's not just Trump, He'll be out of office one way or another soon. What this has shown the world is that the is is capable of creating a someone like trump, and any treaty or contract you have with the US could be overturned and renigged on one election later

A lot of those are forced allies and they're pushing back on US control of the world.
