Foreign leaders are moving on without Trump
Giorgia Meloni, the Prime Minister of Italy, his last remaining ally in Europe, the only European head of state who attended his inauguration, is no longer picking up the phone. So Trump called an Italian newspaper instead, and in six minutes burned down the relationship entirely. He called her “unacceptable,” said he was “shocked by her,” and threatened that Italy could be “blown up in two minutes” by Iran. This is the woman he called “a great leader” and “a marvelous woman” one month ago. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has publicly put Trump in the same sentence as Putin, telling his country he’s “fed up” that British families are paying for a war they have nothing to do with. The world’s democracies aren’t just distancing themselves from the United States. They’re reorganizing without us.
And nowhere is that more visible than in Canada. Mark Carney stood before the largest Liberal convention in his party’s history and told 4,500 delegates, “The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over.” U.S. alcohol exports to Canada have dropped 85 percent. Canadians have stopped vacationing in American cities. Canada has signed twenty new trade agreements on four continents in a single year, with non-U.S. exports on track to double to $300 billion over the next decade. On Monday, Carney won all three byelections in a landslide and secured a majority government. His message of standing up to Trump didn’t just resonate. It won overwhelmingly.
This is what happens when you push your closest allies away. They don’t just leave. They build new systems, find new partners, and do it fast because they have no choice. Trust, once broken at this scale, doesn’t come back with a new president. It comes back slowly, painfully, over a generation, if it comes back at all. That is the deepest wound this presidency has inflicted on this country. And the world isn’t waiting for us to figure it out. They’re already moving on.

We are living through a pivotal moment for our country, and my goal is to reach as many people as possible with clear, factual information about what is happening. The more people who understand what is unfolding, the better our chances of pushing back against chaos, cruelty, and corruption ahead of the midterms.

Independent journalism is under attack. You can make a difference with a $5/month paid subscription. Your support allows me to keep telling the truth about the lies and destruction unfolding in our country, defend myself from constant pressure from MAGA extremists, and ultimately spread the message to more people.
I’m fighting to save our country (before it’s too late).
I’ll see you tomorrow,

There are countless casualties of Trump and his presidency, but the one regarding the alienation of true friends (like Canada, Great Britain, Germany, France, etc) will be the one that may take the longest to be repaired, and be the most consequential.
The world has moved on without the U.S. and what amazes me is some don’t understand the repercussions that are occurring now as what will happen over time. “To Every Action There Is Always an Equal Reaction” – Issac Newton’s Law That Explains More Than Physics
This quote has taken on a life beyond the realm of physics. In everyday conversations, people often use it to express a deeper truth: that all actions have consequences. This can mean moral consequences (what you do to others may return to you), emotional consequences (if you hurt someone, expect emotional resistance), or social consequences (systems of oppression often provoke resistance or rebellion). In this broader sense, the quote reminds us that the world—whether physical or human—is not passive. It reacts.
This dual meaning is what makes the quote powerful. Scientifically, it explains motion. Philosophically and socially, it suggests that no force goes unanswered. Whether you’re building a machine, engaging in a debate, or making a personal decision, the principle is the same: action creates reaction.
