The United States, working closely with the United Kingdom and others, established the liberal world order in the wake of World War II. The goal was to ensure that the conditions that had led to two world wars in 30 years would never again arise.
To that end, the democratic countries set out to create an international system that was liberal in the sense that it was to be based on the rule of law and respect for countries’ sovereignty and territorial integrity. Human rights were to be protected. All this was to be applied to the entire planet; at the same time, participation was open to all and voluntary. Institutions were built to promote peace (the United Nations), economic development (the World Bank) and trade and investment (the International Monetary Fund and what years later became the World Trade Organization).
America’s decision to abandon the global system it helped build, and then preserve for more than seven decades, marks a turning point, because others lack either the interest or the means to sustain it. The result will be a world that is less free, less prosperous, and less peaceful, for Americans and others alike.
Every day Trump comes up with another assault on the Constitution, environment, economy, or simply morality, and his supporters turn a blind eye. The swamp inhabitants have been replaced with sewer rats, and positions supposed to protect us, remain unfilled, or filled with assassins.

Yet another reason to hate Trump – he has completely ruined the “thumbs up” gesture for all time.

Liberal World Order, R.I.P.

When I first saw this drawing, I jumped. That is the most scary drawing of Trump to date. He looks like a thug.

To quote another “great” American President, George W. Bush (although his remark was a bit premature at the time), “Mission Accomplished.”

The hat was made in China, the lettering was put on in Mexico.
