It’s now almost cute watching old Trump fail:

1. Threatened Denmark to steal Greenland, Denmark immediately allows Russia to repair and maintain Nord Stream

2. Threatened Canada, Canada talks free trade agreement with China

as for Russia & China:

3. Threatened Russia and said he’ll talk to Putin soon. Putin didn’t bite, doesn’t call, Trump now says it’s not urgent

4. New sanctions against China says he’ll have a call with Xi within a day. Xi didn’t call. China imposes painful sanctions on US (rare earth, Google). 

Trump now begs for a call with Xi. Xi has time.

5. Meanwhile Musk destroyed a top tool of US international coercion, now Rubio is trying to restore USAID as government agency.

Total chaos. China does nothing, wins

I forgot one: When the master came to see Trump, he even made him wear a blue tie (blue of all colors, the color of the US democrats) to make clear who’s the boss. Note that Trump always wears a red tie, everywhere. Except when the boss comes to visit.

7. threatened Mexico with tariffs and invasion. Mexico increases border guards and takes out CIA-backed drug cartel leader as a warning shot against the US deep state. Trump is now awefully quiet about Mexico.
