Looks like Trump is creating new world alliances. But they're against America...

It has only been five months since America voted for Trump instead of Harris, but the world is changing rapidly in response to what Trump is doing to America.

Tonight I'm reading about the alliances that are forming against America now. Trump and his goblins thought they could have all of it their own way, but that isn't going to work out very well, I don't think. 

As fascism in America rises, people are beginning to flee:

People can move but nations cannot. 

Faced with Trump's hysteria and baseless anger, nations can only implement tariffs, hike their defense budgets and work on making alliances, like Canada is doing with Europe. 

Now China, Japan and South Korea are allying too:

Meanwhile, other alliances are also forming:

Here's a great commentary about what Trump is doing to America and trying to do to the rest of the world:

Kingdom Of The Biters
...Trump's first term, even into its last low days, inspired a strange elite fantasy that he might somehow grow into the job, or that the responsibilities of it might chasten or change him.
Even after it so manifestly didn't, the idea that there might be something more to this—that, even if Trump and his lieutenants not or will not actually articulate it, some sort of strategy being carried forward through all this frantic lashing out and random acts of unkindness...
...You don't have to believe that the mainstream media was somehow in the tank for Trump to see why that particular story might appeal to them, if only because of how such a thing would reflect upon their work, and the systems it celebrates and serves. That Trump himself was so obviously vile—bigoted, vain, shit-stupid and proud, a bloated and hideous being of pure appetite—would only make that narrative more appealing. Even this gnarled and nasty creature that has never cared about anything but itself might, when faced with the awesome responsibilities inherent in the office he'd implausibly won, become something more like a man. Instead, he just kept on being Donald Trump.
This was always and obviously very stupid and kind of sad, but even as it is disproven every day, the impulse remains. Even during the campaign that re-installed him to office, Trump was receding into something memetic and abstract. This version was not so much a leader who would bring his will to bear on the direction of the state—he couldn't really remember his lines well enough anymore to pull that off, but also Trump has always worked better as a fantasy of business mastery than as the real and shabby thing he actually is—as something more like a gilded Trojan Horse. That rotten piñata would, after getting through the doors of power, burst to release a payload of chittering ideologues who would not otherwise have been able to breach those gates on their own. Trump himself would be free to watch television and go on television and wheeze and drawl from behind his big messy desk during ceremonies in which he signed whatever order those goblins handed him; the goblins, for their part, would be free to feast and shit and caper hideously about as goblins do.
It did not change him and certainly did not improve him, but Trump's experience of power clearly made an impression on him. His lack of interest in the work that the administrative state actually does was and remains total; that work benefits other people, and so would naturally be of no interest to him. He grew to hate it, and has now survived long enough to watch on television as the people that he picked to oversee the project go about that work in haphazard and sadistic fashion, pausing frequently to celebrate and thank Mr. Trump and heatedly demand apologies on his behalf.
The collection of degenerates that make up Trump's cabinet makes sense mostly if you think of it as Trump, in his role as executive producer of the end of the American Century, casting the various roles in the cable news television programming he watches....
The ways in which these grasping and venal incompetents manage both toward and like Trump were all right there on the emoji-strewn page in the classified war-planning chat to which they mistakenly invited Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg earlier this week. They are thoughtless and reckless, terrified of being assigned any kind of personal responsibility but blithe and breezy about the prospect of blowing up a few dozen bystanders in a country they know nothing about; their concerns are transparently self-centered and fatuous; there is no evident strategy, only the classic Trumpian interplay of grievance and impatience....
Outside of this and downstream from it, some things happen. A grad student is gang-tackled on a street corner by masked ICE thugs in tactical Old Navy and renditioned in defiance of a court order, and that is just how it is for people like that; the Secretary of State later acknowledges, in a tone that suggests he finds it disrespectful even to have been asked, that the op-ed she had co-authored in support of her university divesting from Israeli businesses was the justification for this act. The state sells a bunch of asylum-seekers to a foreign country as prison labor, seemingly at least in part because of all the Sicario-scented social media content it can mine from having done so. All of this happens right where everyone can see it, and the cynicism affirmed by that somehow serves only to perpetuate it. Faith in the concept of accountability is dead without acts; the idea of it, and the concept of lawful governance, does not erode so much as it curdles; the mechanism that holds society together becomes a sad kind of joke, and the institutions charged with enforcing that bargain become not just complicit in that betrayal but representative of it—not a gang of bank robbers who show up dressed as cops, but just a bunch of cops robbing a bank in uniform.
One possible result of sufficiently long exposure to this sort of elite impunity and incompetence and sadism is something that the journalist Matt Pearce called Cultural Putinism, and which he described as "pervasive social cynicism under a kind of senile imperialism." You won't have to look very far or very hard to see this already, but it is not the only possible outcome. Every day, the people in charge of the government do great damage to it; they carve away at its brain and guts and wield its crushing bulk against the people it is supposed to protect. Every day, institutions that notionally represent countervailing cultural forces to that destructive enterprise capitulate or compromise or seek to enter into negotiations with it, some with unseemly eagerness and others bowing to what seems to them like a business decision.
But for all the ways in which this feels like the end, and all the ways in which it really represents something like the final surrender of a power structure that seems to have lost faith or just lost interest in itself, it is not actually an end. That cynicism, too, is Trumpian; the world will cease to matter to him the moment he leaves it, and so he is more than happy to decree that everyone and everything be buried alongside him.
It will be important to remember the shame of this moment, both how it felt and how it worked, when it is time to build whatever will rise from it—to remember the blithe and brutal and self-delighted contempt with which this elite set out to devour every other better thing, and to work to build a life and a world that is not just strong enough to resist it but dedicated to its opposite.

Its increasingly hard to continue to have respect or sympathy for a country that voluntarily gave Trump the presidency again, but in the long run there will be protest and that will need support.
