But I don’t think the USA will isolate.
Before I say anything else, I am English so I’ve had more than enough shitty government.
In ref to drumpf, he’s an egotistical mong for sure. He’s also probably not a complete retard; at least, the people around him aren’t all complete retards. The US (along with probably all other developed countries, bar maybe Germany*) could never be totally self sufficient and also be an economic power to be reckoned with. As I understand it, the US, being a consumer driven economy, relies on imports to an unhealthy extent (similarly, the UK economy is ~50% financial services [mega retarded]). Trump doing a trump to press countries into new trade agreements (a) serves his ego, and (b), may actually scare world leaders into renegotiating trade agreements in favour of the US (because trump actually seems that retarded)
