3. The US has gone from having a significant number of allies to now maybe having only 2.

I suppose Hungary is an ally since Republicans constantly praise Orban for his dictatorship. Netanyahu is an ally so long as Trump supplies as many bombs as possible and supports Bibi’s plans to take over all of Gaza and the West Bank and either kill Palestinians or force them to leave with nowhere to go.

Neither Putin nor Xi is actually an ally because both would be overjoyed at the destruction of the US as a global leader.

Quite a dubious accomplishment to alienate almost every country in the world in two short months.
