Martin Wolf (FT) on how the world see the USA (right now):

'What is far clearer now... is that the US is no longer a credible world leader. If it can elect this man twice, it has lost the plot. Why would it not elect someone even worse? Such a country is incapable of providing reliable global hegemony. What it provides instead is an unpredictable wrecking ball'...

and hence, as I've remarked before, the slow but sure pivot away from the USA as an economic partner is well underway!

If he claims victory and the US just leaves, that would be a win for all.
But I doubt it'll happen.

I think it is entirely possible.

He has no stamina, no attention span, and he is really mad no one is coming to clean up his mess.

It would be very in character to just break the world economy and then storm off in a huff blaming everyone else for his mistakes.
