Not really, if you watched the inauguration it was 30 mins of them just standing awkwardly while the leaders walked out one by one while a band played in the background.

Nope, people told me it wasn't good to do. None of my friends were into it. It came into fashion towards the late 90s. That is recreational amounts of it.
Musk is using far less as an antidepressant.
This is all well known and by that I mean to his shareholders
Posting this here since its related
USA may see themselves being slowly disconnected from other countries...
Then those who were with them will slowly drift away with their own interests.
Trump push to use tariffs to pay for tax cuts faces opposition in Congress
Also talking about abolishing Income Tax and replacing it with tariffs !
Wondering where US$ will be after a decade.

The question has always been, towards what or whom?
What makes you think this hasn't been an option since the cold war began?
You had two, well defined camps with opposing interests.
If we compare 2015 with today. It's evident two Obama terms was clearly worse compared with the past and to then be followed by a third has rendered the US unrecognisable and more damaged to its own foreign interests to me than just one Trump term that wasn't enough to repair the damage. A second term will address this outstanding work some more.
The world lacked a leader under Obama/Biden. Their idea of leading by backseat driving doesn't work.
It has one now, for better or for worse.

Towards new convenient alliances those may form and evolve in due time ?
If leaders from independent countries watched how USA took control of RU assets, they may have to look for new methods to avoid similar situations. It's mostly inevitable.

None of which exist as of now
Are you referring to the seizure of Russia's central bank assets?
That still remains in limbo isn't it. To confiscate amounts to theft and IIANM that's a quote from Janet Yellen

Towards a more multipolar world, now that top bully is not upto the snuff ?
There is a reason they openly comment starkly against BRICS, hideously attempting to hold back EU, etc.
Yes, USA rarely have been on the right side of the history. So, no surprise there.

He's learning how to troll like the big guyAh!! The classic Heil Hitler salute!!
All the leftie media was drawn in and ignored what he said which would have clarified things.
Multipolar only exists in a narrow economic sense. In terms of power politics (military as well as economic) it's still a unipolar world.
How is he holding back the EU?
EU have defense commitments which half had not yet even met when he entered office. The picture is much better these days since Ukraine.
But he wants to increase the present EU 2% to a 5% GDP spend for defense which isn't feasible.
Like when? They've won all their wars. WW2, Cold war, Iraq. Smaller theatres like Vietnam & Afghanistan remain exceptions.
None of their allies is going to quit the US anytime soon.
And as far as those central bank assests go, the Euros are a lot more keen to confiscate it than the US whose position on the subject was made clear by the statement in my last post

Did you think this utterly meaningless RU vs UA war strengthened EU ? What about result of jasmine revolution to EU ?
If EU have to pay USA more for self defense, what is the power of all those states in EU and the union itself.
Till will tell when unexpected shifts can happen.
It's a matter of time when that empire start to crumble, will take some time, that is all.
Things were almost unseen till cold war, then the world became open and skeletons started to tumble out from closets.
The human and societal costs of what they did in Iraq war, erstwhile Iran till jasmine revolution, other failures effected countries and societies, now in RU vs UA, etc. The societal impact of all this is unseen and will be exposed in due time.
