"The End of the American Era"

"Economically this means that international trade will reorganize without the United States as the central hub. Relationships will be forged without concern as to our preferences. The dollar may well be displaced as the world's reserve currency. American innovation will depart for other shores as the best and brightest choose to make their lives in countries where the rule of law is solid, secret police do not disappear people from the streets, and the government does not discourage research and make economic war on universities."

Jonathan V. Last at The Bulwark writes that "[i]t took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order."
