If Trump had a single strategic idea, he's crazy enough that he could probably play his big hand to get any concessions he wants. Unfortunately, he's got a single tool and he thinks that waving it at every problem will help him win (he won't) what he perceives as a zero-sum game (it isn't).

He holds a lot of cards, but he's making the mistake of thinking he holds all of them. It'll be painful for us former US allies, but it's going to be fatal for the future of the US.

This is nothing but a Farquaadian bargain for America.
