That Sinking Feeling

The United States (US) is sinking. It is what happens to a country when it blames everyone else for its ailments. The problem is that when the biggest boat in the water sinks, it pulls others down with it. This is not, therefore, time for the rest of the world to indulge in Schadenfreude over the end of the American century. This is the time for the rest of the world to deepen resilience, both to the sinking of the US, and to the coming trade and currency wars. President Donald Trump may be the perfect symbol of US’s decline for many, but he is not going down without a fight.
