The 21-country survey for the influential European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) thinktank also found that under Trump, the US is less feared by its traditional adversaries, while its allies – particularly in Europe – feel ever more distant.

The poll, of nearly 26,000 respondents in 13 European countries, the US, China, India, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, South Africa and South Korea, found majorities in almost every territory surveyed expected China’s global influence to grow over the next decade.

The fall of empire is usually documented as stagnation. Trump seems to be trying to be the best in the world, ever, at speed running the end of an empire.

    The fall of empires is often marked with the ruling class totally abandoning the working class, and believing in their own propaganda about themselves.

    We're at this stage. Even if the orange cunt dies tomorrow, the rest of the GOP is now just like him and has the same puppet masters.

    We're simply fucked. There's no other way to look at it.
