Trust doesn't return with a photo op, a handshake, or deals signed under duress.

It is built slowly, consistently, through a pattern of behavior.

Trump broke that pattern.

He salted the earth.

And now he struts through the wreckage, calling it a win.

Trust Is Dead. Trump Keeps Selling the Corpse.

Behind every handshake is a nation plotting its exit strategy from the American empire.

The Index.
