I’m sure this will help drive BRICS closer together as they feel attacked by America. Allowing Russia to poach powerful allies away from the US.

Trump must be Putins greatest dream.

Yeah, Trump ending the dollar as the reserve currency would be a fitting legacy.

Yeah it would be extremely funny (and probably bad) if he accidentally own-goal'ed this.
