It won't stop only at Trump's 2nd term


No, the whole paradigm is shifting. An entire international order will move away from the concept of benevolent, democratic countries rallied around one exceptional superpower, championing democracy, individualism and personal freedom, towards a more Clash-of-Civilizations-like world of authoritarian regional powers maintaining their continental/hemispherical grip over the areas of their immediate strategic interests.

At least the US will change their President in 2024, if not (fingers crossed) 2020, although I wouldn't put it past Trump to seek a new amendment abolishing the two term limit. The UK however is set on inflicting permanent damage to itself by leaving the EU. We're stupidly seeking to go it alone, which in reality basically means a race to the bottom in terms of environmental, health and safety, and labour protections.

Only by building greater alliances, unions and federations can we ensure all workers are protected. This dog eat dog zero-sum game approach to international relations is anathema to socialism, and only benefits the very wealthy.
