Was hat Trump ein „wahrer Freund“ sein? Nicht viel, sagen Inder.

The signs should have been obvious to other world leaders when Trump began his offensive against the rest of the world, starting with Canada, within days of assuming office.

They should have been crystal clear when he booted and neutered his no. 2, Elon Musk, in less than four months.

Trump 2.0 is different from Trump 1.0. The older version at least maintained his transactional relationships, the newer version just expects everyone else to do what he asks or suffer the consequences. Even his own family members are absent from the White House this time. This term is entirely for himself.

The idea of a „friend“ in geopolitics is laughable in the first place.
