Empires seem to deploy their powers to the maximum, desisting only when they no longer have the wherewithal. We may soon be reminded that it was American decline that put Mr. Trump in a position to set American foreign policy in the first place.

The living standards in America are continuing to decline under Trump. That looks like weakening to me.
Because standard of living will continue to decline if the Fed keeps printing infinite money, if the federal government keeps overspending by trillions, and if usury and fractional reserve banking/lending continue to exist. These are the reasons the dollar keeps losing value, and has since 1913. If those aren't stopped, we're headed toward complete collapse (not just economic), because no one except the ultra rich will be able to afford food. Jobs won't be worth it any more, so people would rather revolt than work a job that doesn't pay their bills. The exact same thing happened to Rome before it collapsed, which devalued their currency so much that the mercenaries they hired to police their borders refused to be paid in Roman currency. These trends can't continue indefinitely, no matter what the corrupt or retarded economists say.
They might improve when you have access to Venezuelan oil.
We'd have to take it from Paul Singer and the Israelis.
