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!

@ChrisMayLA6 I'm grateful for the spreading mid-Atlantic ridge.

Me too, anything that puts the Tangerine Tyrant further from the EU is fine with me. Although maybe hit the brakes in that section with Canada?

Otherwise The Mid Atlantic Ridge is doing Gods Work.
