Trump is a useful idiot ...
world leaders know he's an incompetent revenge-driven preening clown..they know he fancies himself as the ultimate dealmaker (reneging on contracts/threatening contractors/declaring bankruptcy) .. but autocrats also understand Trump's idea of geopolitical dealmaking is "if they say nice things about me I'll give them what you want".. top secret intelligence/permission to occupy another country/weapons/a red carpet welcome...however when it comes to real world problems they know Trump is someone to "work around", with no seat at the adult table... .and so the bad guys make alliances with other bad guys excluding Trump and his team of moronic emissaries.....
