Thanks to Trump, America is no longer the world’s Uncle Sap
Donald Trump is a transformative president. Like his transformations or loathe them, it is impossible not to recognise the impact they have had on the structure of American capitalism and the role of the US in the global economy. Elections matter, as the Democrats’ sage once informed us, and 2024 mattered more than most. Start with the most obvious: the transformation of the global trading system. America is no longer treated by its trading partners as a passive recipient of whatever
