In a broader context, the Cold War was already America's Mexican standoff with "the world" and they won by default. You live in a hegemony where America gets the first and final say in trade, warfare, nuclear deterrence, missile defense and surveillance. You don't have to get jingoist about it, but maintaining that hegemony is the goal and it will eventually end with a standoff against China, probably focused on the First island chain.
With that info, you should be able to generally extrapolate from [YOU ARE HERE] and "Invasion of Taipei" if you've got a loose understanding of geopolitics. If not, start here:
Most of Europe and Canada are in a difficult situation with the USA right now.
If Trump made the mistake of actually attacking Greenland of Canada, they would probably go to war with him. Fortunately, that doesn't seem like something TACO would do. He is currently getting his nose bloodied by Iran, and he doesn't any appetite for pain - even in the very short term.
From the rest of the world's perspective, it's apparent 60-70% of USA citizens share the same view. Unlike Trump, we are patient. We will wait it out, and then gladly re-unite with 60-70% of the USA who are our friends. This friendship has worked out very well for both sides for a long while, and after this blip passes will likely continue to work out.
Domestically, his handling of the Standing Rock Native American protests was also questionable, and he allowed the police and military to harass them. He put a pause on it just before the election, and naturally it renewed after the election when a new president came in.
He isn't the saint some people think he is.
Trump is an odd one. In his first term, he was pretty good in terms of his war record. In recent times he has completely undone that.
For example, drone striking a citizen of your own country is pretty much the opposite of warmongering.
Senility would be progressive. He has been acting the same way since coming into the public eye. We see it somewhat more now than in his first term, where he had to hire experienced hands to execute things, and they put a damper on some of his worst ideas. In his second term, he feels beholden to nobody, and his friends are happy to do exactly as he wants.
