With the rest of the world increasingly turning their backs on Trump (see what is happening at the G-20 summit), America led by Trump is going to become increasingly irrelevant.
The EU have already stated that when Trump slaps tariffs on imported steel (something he has promised to do), they will respond in kind within a matter of days.
And even American economists are predicting that any subsequent trade tariffs war will hurt America and American jobs considerably more than it will hurt Europe.
It's really telling that the official photograph of leaders and their wives from the opening ceremony of the G-20 summit shows Donald and Melania Trump in the second row.
I guess the other European leaders closed up the gaps and stopped Trump from bullying his way to the front-centre for the photograph as he did during the NATO summit.
Here is a picture taken while leaders and their spouses were posing for the official photographs....
Heads of state and governments and their spouses, plus representatives of invitees, pose for a photograph in front of the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg.
