* a brief comment:
The source of President Trump’s power lies in the vast economic and military strength of the United States. If Trump had been born in the United Kingdom, Germany, or France, he would not have been able to exercise the kind of strong "leadership" he does today. Of course, by "leadership," I do not mean a positive force that guides the world in a good direction. Rather, it refers to his ability to make "deals" that steer other nations in the direction he believes to be "beneficial" to the United States at any given moment.
The only government that places full trust in Trump is the Netanyahu administration in Israel. Even America’s allies?Britain, as well as the European powers Germany and France?are likely trying to manage their relationship with Trump in a way that minimizes damage to their own nations during the four years of his presidency.
The Ishiba administration in Japan is in an even more miserable position. Prime Minister Ishiba flatters and fawns over Trump, behaving almost like a mistress pleading, "Please, don’t abandon me (Japan and the Ishiba administration)!"?or would it be too harsh to put it that way?
