First, Trump antagonized our allies, claiming they’d somehow been taking advantage of America’s trade policies for decades. He used that as a bogus excuse to slap a series of arbitrary, punitive tariffs on them.
Then, after starting his war of choice in Iran, he insulted UK PM Keir Starmer for offering to assist “after it had already been won.”

Of course the war hasn’t already been won, and now Trump wants those same countries he insulted to join his war and protect the Strait of Hormuz.

So it’s no surprise why, so far, no other nation has taken the bait. This by itself is enough to make Trump look foolish enough to rank him as the worst-ever president of the United States.
