David Frum: Americans Need to Understand, the Alliances Are Over; The U.S. Is Alone Just the Way Trump Wanted

EXCERPT:

FRUM: “The United States has, since Donald Trump came to office, threatened to annex territory from NATO ally Denmark, has threatened to annex NATO ally Canada. I think Americans need to understand the alliances are over. the United States is alone, just the way Donald Trump wanted — wait, not alone, El Salvador, the United States and El Salvador alone, and maybe Russia sometimes opportunistically. I think the reason all of this is such a threat to the president is Donald Trump has promised, Donald Trump has led the United States into certainly the most severe economic hardship of the past 20 years. This may be as bad as the Great Recession.”
