Every leader of a sovereign state puts his/her country first. Well, some of them put their own  interests first but I digress. So what Trump said is normal. 

The U.S. have always put its own national interest first in its foreign policy. Regardless that policy succeed or fail eventually. So much so the world agrees the U.S. is the biggest bully. So nothing new. 

Trump tabs into a majority of angry Americans because they've been screwed. But Trump didn't screw them - the previous governments did. Clinton started it,  GW and Obama nailed it. So the only relevant question is: Will Trump screw America too? 

My answer reflects this editorial: He will. He will do so unknowingly, thinking he has done all the right and smart things. Because he does not have the skills or talent. 

So I predict 4 years from now the world order will be, finally, MULTI-POLAR. Where the U.S. is just another big country. It's days of empire and global leadership over. 

And this is the best news for Canada.
