America has been bullying the rest of the world since it emerged from WW2 not only triumphant, but holding the notes of every single Allied nation -- the last WW2 debt payment to the USA was in 2006, or possibly later. Being rich and having every nation's mortgage gave it the clout to insist that we all live the way they wanted, or be proven Commies. Like it or not, Trump, Vance and, let us never forget, Musk, are just the ultimate articulation of what it means to be America.
