If many foreign leaders expected a Trump administration to push to renegotiate trade deals, or take a tough line on immigration, few anticipated that he would become an equal opportunity offender. He has insulted or humiliated Mexico, Britain, Germany and Iraq; engaged in a war of words with China and Iran; and turned a routine phone call with the prime minister of Australia, a staunch ally, into a minor diplomatic crisis.

With the possible exception of NATO, where he has softened his tone, Mr. Trump has expressed disdain for other multilateral institutions such as the European Union. His praise has been reserved for populists and strongmen, like Nigel Farage, the former leader of the U.K. Independence Party, President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines and, of course, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.

Against this forbidding backdrop, some European leaders are urging their counterparts to recognize that Mr. Trump may represent a truly dire challenge, one that threatens to upend not only the 70-year European project of integration and security, but just about everything they stand for, including liberal democracy itself.

Yes, that's why we voted for Trump. He let the world know the ***** hats are being stowed away (with the exception of Mexifornians).

You're forgetting about the man-toddler in Trump. Babies throw attention fits. Nothing scary about that.

Perhaps you missed what Russia did during the last few years? Did you miss what Iran has been doing? Did you forget about ISIS?... or ISIL as you boys refer to them.

I don't think Trump is turning the US from a world power to a world threat but I do think he is turning the US from a world leader to a world non-leader. I think the country happiest about Trump so far is China. They'd love to dominate Asia and Trump is abandoning Asia (and everywhere else) with his "America First" bit.

You really think the Lead from Behind strategy was working? Of course this is pissing everyone off. A lot of countries are going to have to drastically shift their economy to funding more military infrastructure and less on their social programs. Frankly, I don't care if that pisses them off and I'm at a loss about why us looking out for our best interests is a bad thing.
