From Global Leader to Rogue Nation: How Trump’s Policies Are Destroying U.S. Influence
🧵1/9: There was a time when the world could count on the United States.
That time is over.
Not because we were conquered.
Not because we were outmatched.
But because we let it slip away. Because we turned on each other.
Because we have allowed one man to turn our institutions into weapons of vengeance, our laws into tools of self-preservation, and our global leadership into a sideshow of pettiness and destruction.
For most of the post-World War II era, the United States was the pillar of global stability.
We were the axis upon which the modern world turned.
We led in defending democracy, upholding international law, ensuring economic security.
The Pax Americana—however flawed—kept the world in relative balance.
But today, the U.S. is no longer a stabilizer. It is a destabilizer.
The country that once defended order now manufactures chaos.
And no single person is more responsible for this shift than Donald Trump.
For the past ten years, even when he wasn’t in office, Trump dictated the direction of U.S. foreign policy, economic strategy, and domestic governance.
He has been the single most destabilizing force in modern American history. This is not just about a second Trump presidency.
This is about a decade-long transformation of America from a superpower into a source of global instability.
The collapse of global order didn’t begin with Trump.
But he accelerated it in ways once thought unimaginable.
When the Cold War ended, the U.S. stood uncontested as the world’s superpower.
The American Century was supposed to endure.
But instead of fortifying our institutions, we let them rot.

Newt Gingrich, the Tea Party, and Donald Trump
2/9: The Republican Party, once a champion of American strength abroad, turned its gaze inward—away from foreign adversaries, toward its own countrymen.
Newt Gingrich redefined politics as war.
The Tea Party turned governance into siege.
By the time Trump arrived, the GOP had already abandoned policy for grievance, and he gave them what they had been waiting for: a demagogue who didn’t just hate Democrats, but democracy itself.
This shift created a party that no longer seeks to govern—it seeks only to rule.
Some argue that Trump’s nationalism was a necessary correction after decades of globalization.
But economic nationalism does not have to be isolationist or erratic. Trump’s reckless trade wars, unilateral tariffs, and deliberate antagonism toward U.S. allies weren’t about strengthening America—they were about punishment.
While past administrations leveraged economic power to build alliances, deter adversaries, and reinforce global stability, Trump wields it as a weapon of sabotage, turning America’s economic influence against its own allies.

The Threat Multiplier
3/9: It is often said that being an ally of Trump’s United States is more perilous than being its adversary—and the evidence overwhelmingly supports this claim.
From his first term to his current tenure, Trump has systematically undermined, alienated, and even punished traditional allies, all while extending deference and admiration to authoritarian regimes that seek to weaken U.S. influence.
Most world leaders—even deeply flawed ones—possess some level of strategic thinking, intellectual curiosity, or adaptability.
Trump has none of these qualities.
He does not study or understand history, governance, or diplomacy.
He acts purely on personal vendetta, making policy decisions based on who flatters him and who offends him.
And because of this, Trump is a global threat multiplier. Under his leadership, every crisis escalates. A trade imbalance becomes an economic war.
A foreign policy dispute spirals into reckless provocation. A public health emergency is worsened by denial, misinformation, and negligence.
His tariffs on China led to $316 billion in lost U.S. GDP, but benefited Beijing, which strengthened its trade alliances elsewhere.
The European Union responded with counter-tariffs, hitting American manufacturers and farmers hardest. Trump’s economic nationalism did not protect America. It isolated it.
But it is not just his incompetence that is dangerous.
It is his vindictiveness. His ability to turn personal grudges into state policy, to weaponize the full machinery of government against his enemies.
We saw this when he withheld intelligence from Ukraine, weakening their strategic defenses and emboldening Russia.
We saw it when he sabotaged pandemic mitigation for political gain, leading to hundreds of thousands of preventable American deaths.
We saw it when he incited a mob to storm the Capitol, then sat back and watched as his followers hunted down lawmakers.
Trump does not lead. He reacts. And he reacts poorly.
Before Trump, presidential transitions followed an unwritten rule: past leaders stepped aside.
Bush did not undermine Obama.
Clinton did not interfere with Bush.
But Trump defied this norm, behaving as a shadow leader.
Even after leaving office, he held private meetings with world leaders, contradicting official U.S. policy.
He praised Putin while attacking NATO. He signaled to allies that America was no longer reliable.
And the damage is not theoretical.
Since Trump took office, the U.S. has suffered its worst diplomatic retreat since the Vietnam era. NATO allies now hedge their bets.
Europe has increased defense spending—not just in response to Russian aggression, but out of uncertainty over whether America itself has become a risk factor.
In Asia, China’s influence has grown as regional leaders no longer trust the U.S. to be a stabilizing force. Even America’s own military leaders have warned of Trump’s erratic decision-making. Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis put it bluntly:
“Trump does not even pretend to try to unite the country.”

Let's begin with an updated timeline.
While the trade war ramped up into February 1st, the market PEAKED on February 19th.
Even as more tariffs went live in early-March, the real turning point was March 6th.
This was when Trump said he's "not watching the stock market."

Dip buyers have been crushed in this downturn.
The S&P 500 has not seen a back-to-back gains for 15 consecutive trading days, the longest streak since April 2024.
This is also the 5th longest stretch since the 2020 pandemic.

Reunindo cerca de 300 mil pessoas, o comício alarmou os setores conservadores, que reagiram incentivando o recrudescimento da articulação golpista. Menos de três semanas depois, Goulart seria deposto em um golpe militar.

Em agosto de 1961, menos de 7 meses após sua posse como presidente, Jânio Quadros renunciava ao cargo e inaugurava um período de grande agitação política. À época, as eleições não eram disputadas por chapas. Havia votação separada para presidente e vice-presidente.

The small amount of land falsely claimed stolen was land lawfully confiscated by the Crown to quell armed insurrectionist uprisings post Treaty; aka “utu”.

Maori Chiefs begged the British to take sovereignty in their letter to the then King, asking for the protection, which the sovereignty for protection deal Treaty gave.

@KiwiStreamNZ @Rawiri_Waititi The British side of that Treaty deal was protection. Protection from other warring tribes, but also from the French who were itching to invade, take over NZ, exact ‘Marion’s’ revenge.
The British had a duty to uphold the law & they did, by means of threats to confiscate land.

His damages case was built on lies, exactly what he was accused of doing in his research.
During trial, Mann introduced evidence that he had lost millions of dollars in grants due to the defamation that he suffered "post-publication" of the "defamatory" statements. That evidence was based almost entirely on Mann lying about the extent of his damages.
The court noted that Mann made an "eye-catching" assertion that he had applied for a grant post-publication of the defamation totaling over $9 million when the actual amount was around $100K. Mann's intent was clear was to increase the size of the post-pub injury for the jury.

In August a Ukrainian offensive captured over 1200 km² of Russia's Kursk oblast.
The claimed goals were to draw Russian forces from Pokrovsk, capture leverage for negotiations and spoil a Russian operation from Sumy. It was likely also meant to shift the discourse.

However, the Ukrainians failed to expand & secure their flanks and over the next 6 months the Ukrainian perimeter in Kursk diminished steadily. By the beginning of March the Ukrainians only held a bit over 300 km² of terrain in a narrow salient around the town of Sudzha.

“Under pressure … the CDC and Pharma removed the neurotoxic thimerosal, but it took them years to do it.”
“One of the things that seemed to unite us in The House who engaged on this was that none of us took money from Pharma.”

Mount Vesuvius, Campania, Italy, with an elevation of approximately 4,203 feet, remains one of the world’s most infamous volcanoes—beyond its undeniable beauty and commanding presence over the Bay of Naples
Its last eruption dates back to 1944 (photo 👇) leaving behind numerous photographic records despite being an era vastly different from ours
Since that year, Vesuvius has not been extinct but is technically classified as dormant

Operación Jubilee
Uno de los grandes fracasos de los Aliados.
El plan consistía en desembarcos para neutralizar las baterías de artillería costera en Varengeville-sur-Mer y Berneval-le-Grand.
Para lo cual asaltaron el puerto francés de Dieppe.

Paso 1⃣: Comparamos el PER y el EV/EBITDA actual con la mediana de los últimos 10 años.
🤌Interpretación:
La empresa está cotizando a múltiplos superiores a su mediana histórica, por lo que no parece que pueda haber infravaloración (esto es así porque si la empresa tiene la misma calidad que en el pasado, ¿Por qué debería cotizar más cara?) a no ser que se espere un alto crecimiento, un cambio de estrategia, un aumento de márgenes, un aumento del MOAT o algún catalizador en el medio plazo o incluso en largo plazo pero que pueda explotar las ventas de la empresa.
Esto es trabajo cualitativo, entender si la empresa cotiza a mayores múltiplos por grandes expectativas o porque los beneficios están disminuyendo. También es trabajo cualitativo entender si el beneficio por acción está disminuyendo por inversión en OPEX, por alguna multa o por sucesos coyunturales.

The California State Senate has severely limited press access in the chamber to journalists and despite repeated calls from @CCACalifornia to change this, leaders will not listen.

Before the pandemic, journalists had access to these desks behind lawmakers.

On Saturday, ICE agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist, recent graduate of Columbia University and U.S. permanent resident as he returned home from an Iftar with his wife, who is 8 months pregnant.
Mahmoud’s abduction by ICE marks a new, severe escalation in the Trump administration’s attack on the movement for Palestinian freedom in the US, which has aimed its first crackdown at universities where students have organized.
