Just remember that Trump knows all this and he never lets himself be bound by another's strategy. As noted he is causing the world to realign in ways that breaks open the Status Quo. This first off allows the USA to disentangle itself from decades of BAD POLICY or better described as stagnated policy.
From that mix of confusion people will arise with solutions he can then chose to champion. First rule of Negotiation: Throw a grenade in the room and close the door. Most folks do not get this and completely misread the early going.
Amazing how earnestly the Koreans are now working together. Expect this over and over again.
China and the EU is feeling the Heat. Yet deals are now been briskly settled with Canada and Mexico. B 52 maneuvers just offshore from China as they become seriously quiet about the South China Sea. Perhaps we will have a Trump hotel on the Spratleys.
Consider something. How many folks outside the USA would vote for Trump? It is a real number in every country out there. No other leader really has that reach and it can only improve.

Trump: An Assessment
Trump the Great?
September 28, 2018
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/09/paul-craig-roberts/trump-an-assessment/
I supported Trump for president for three reasons:
Trump was the only candidate who recognized the need to normalize
relations with Russia and bring a halt to the reckless orchestration of
conflict with a major nuclear power.
Trump was the only candidate who recognized the need to restore high
productivity, high value added jobs to the American workforce.
Trump was the only candidate who spoke to the American people instead of to the organized interest groups of the ruling elite.
My concern was that Trump did not know Washington and did not know who to appoint to help him achieve these goals.
Trump was unaware of the extent of the threat that his agenda posed
to the military/security complex, US global corporations, and the ruling
oligarchy. Normalizing relations with Russia would put in question the
$1,000 billion annual budget, and the power that goes with it, of the
military/security complex. Bringing home the offshored jobs would raise
the labor cost of US global corporations and cut the “performance
bonuses” of the executive class. Speaking directly to the American
people raised the specter of a populist revolt against the ruling
oligarchy. These are too many enemies for a president who did not know
how to staff his administration, and Trump has paid the price.
The fake charges that comprise “Russiagate,” orchestrated by CIA
director John Brennan, implemented by highly partisan Democratic
operatives in the FBI and by Trump’s own Deputy Attorney General, Rod
Rosenstein, and ridden hard by the Democrats and the presstitutes,
prevented Trump from normalizing relations with Russia.
Bad economic advice, whether innocent or intentional, misfocused
Trump’s attention from the problem of jobs offshoring to tarrifs, with
the consequence that he has a trade war and rising prices for Americans
in place of the return of their jobs.
The ruling oligarchs have decided to make an example of Trump so that
no future presidential candidate makes the mistake of speaking directly
to the American people.
Trump was our last chance, and it appears that he is going down.
Trump’s Middle Eastern policy is in the hands of Trump’s Zionist
son-in-law and Netanyahu. The result is escalated tensions with Russia,
with Israel causing the destruction of a Russian Air Force crew and
plane, with the Trump regime threatening Syrian and Russian forces with
attack if any attempt is made to liberate Syria’s last province occupied
by Washington’s army of terrorists, with Trump unilaterally pulling out
of the Iran Nuclear Treaty, with Trump abandoning his intent to remove
US forces from the Middle East, with Trump’s crazed neoconservative
National Security Adviser John Bolton issuing audacious threats to Iran
and to Russia, with Trump moving the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem,
and with Trump cutting off all aid to the Palestinians who are in front
of our eyes experiencing genocide at the hands of US-supported Israel.
I could go on, but you get the picture.
The Trump regime is either so incompetent or so intent on war that it
does not understand that Russia cannot permit the US/Israeli
destabilization of Iran any more than Russia can permit the US/Israeli
destabilization of Syria. The crazed Bolton’s threats against Iran are
direct threats to Russia’s national interests. The president who was
going to improve relations with Russia has worsened them beyond the
capability of Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Victoria Nuland.
Now
I will be my own devil’s advocate. When Trump saw how boxed in he was
by the material interests of the ruling oligarchy, he decided to finish
off Washington’s already diminishing influence.
He appointed Nikki Haley
as US ambassador to the UN, where she has done a supurb job of
alienating every country in the world. Trump has infuriated Europe with
tariffs, sanction threats, and orders to Germany not to go forward with
the Russian/German natural gas pipeline. Trump followed up by treating
the UN Security Council on September 26 as Washington’s footstool. Trump
with threats and sanctions is driving Turkey, Iran, India, China, and
North Korea into Russia’s arms, and he is driving Europe into
independence. In a stroke of genius, Trump, despite his thoroughly
neoconservative regime, is destroying Washington’s hegemony.
We might never know whether this result is an unintended consequence
of arrogance and hubris or whether it is a clever strategy. But if it
turns out the way it seems to be heading, Trump will go down in history
as Trump the Great, the man who saved the world by dismantling American
hegemony.
