Can somebody please explain why Donald Trump is trying so hard to make the whole world hate the USA?

Because he's using what strength we have now to take what we can for a few to benefit from it regardless of long term impact. Long term, we need to work together and have alliances and partners, but short term, some people can make a shit load of wealth if they can get us to fuck everyone else over.
