Donald will no doubt create his own dark distraction.

The article quoted below concurs: "The message was 'America First and screw everyone else,' " said one Arab diplomat. "That mind frame is not lost on the world and it is not good for the United States."

"in 1933, Roosevelt challenged the world to overcome fear. In 2017, Mr Trump told the world to be very afraid."

When the Canadians start freaking, it means something is really wrong:

Little surprise then that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also called Trump Saturday to stress the importance of Canada-US ties and remind Trump that 35 states count Canada as their top destination for exports.

Trudeau had to calm the frayed nerves of Canadian provincial leaders in a Friday phone call with them. Canada is the US' second-largest trading partner after China, with more than 70% of Canadian exports going to the US. The Prime Minister's office said he spoke to the leaders about efforts to find common ground with the new US administration.

Seems that most countries are starting to lick his ass in order to maintain trade relations - but this will generate bitterness:

Pena Nieto's congratulatory call Saturday morning stressed Mexico's willingness to work on an agenda that would benefit both countries, according to his office, as well as the need to focus on respect for sovereignty and shared responsibility.
