This is the first reasonable explanation I’ve read for something that appears utterly incomprehensible. It’s very hard, though, and I’m writing from Italy, a country with its fair share of bad government over the years, rally hard for me to understand how the mighty USA can be totally hijacked by a single, insane person, with no checks, no balances in sight. It makes me sad.

Asterisk on the point that Canada's exports are 80% to US, making them highly vulnerable to Trump. Isn't much of that oil and other raw materials, for which US has few low-cost alternatives? And much of the rest cross-border-integrated auto manufacturing? Doesn't that affect the power balance?
