Trump doesn't understand the notion of soft power. All he understands is grandstanding and conflict.

Trump is the new dipshit manager who insists on "making his mark". Hence the 100 EOs he's already signed that effectively put the brakes on basically any meaningful progress made in the last 50 years.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that if you were listening to any US health organization in February 2020 they were telling you not to wear a mask, while WHO and China never said that. Always look at what other countries are doing and what international organizations are saying, regardless if we're a member.
