Destruction of Power & G20

If it was not yet obvious, a dumb Trump has significantly reduced American power. First big step was the destruction of a major TPP trade deal involving so many East Asian, North American, and South American nations. A major negotiation that took something just less than ten years.

Today will be another major indication. The biggest meeting the G20 will be between Merkel (Germany) and Xi (China). As BBC so bluntly notes, the major meeting would have once involved the US. But in power circles, US influence is waning quickly.

Germany is the undisputed power in Europe. China is successfully undermining American influence and power in the South China Sea - especially since TPP no longer exists.

The problems have long been brewing as predicted over tens years ago and referenced in 2003, 2006 and 2012 posts:

TPP was a powerful move to avert this threat. Trump (and his wacko extremist supporters) has not a clue how much damage he has done to American power.

How much might be quantified this week in Germany.
