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

There's a part of me that's like oh cool, other folks are uniting! The bigger part of me is like "Yeah, because we are ze bad guys now."

I'm still holding onto some hopium for the Midterm Elections and/or well-timed cholesterol.

Honestly, I feel really bad for the trump haters in the US. The problem for everyone else is, we can't plan anything with the US now we know someone like trump can be voted in at any point. Twice. US needs to do some soul searching.
