As world leaders continue to meet with, and confirm suspicions about our new POTUS, the decentralization trend will ramp up into high gear. The US will no longer be the central key state. We won't even be at many of the 'games' let alone 'winning'.

The world is about to become orders of magnitude more dangerous and complex for us.

like he is doing very well restoring American jobs, such as the miners and others (Eastern Kentucky went 75% towards Trump).

These are not high skilled jobs. You are not planning to take us back to medevial ages.

Who decides whether they are high skilled? Modern coal mining is as much high tech as any other energy source. Sure coal mining has been reduced but it's still part of the energy mix in many countries and relying solely on one form of energy is frankly asinine. You want an example of dirty/medieval energy? Look no further than Tesla, those cars are big net polluters compared to the standard combustion engine and hybrids. So banning those coal jobs was a dick move by Obummer and Trump reversed it. Jobs for the people, a concept not that hard to understand, making him popular with the working class.

Fact Check: FALSE.

ISIS Eliminated
Ayatollah Regime in dire economic straits, endless simmering protests
Huge breakthrough with DPRK
Paris Accord Cancelled
Europeans give in and agree to buy more soy, LNG
NAFTA being made obsolete via bilateral talks, now with Mexico (and the Canadians will have to take what they can get, Freeland is the worst Foreign Affairs Minister in Canuckistan History, managing to piss off both SA and USA in the course of a few weeks).
