Homer Simpson meme "Democracies all around the world!"

If Trump wins, the US will likely conduct an isolationist policy on the way forward, creating a power vacuum on the world stage, which will be likely filled in the likes of Russia and China, but that'll be the good impe... sorry, the good great power protecting smaller nations!

If Trump is elected, he will enthusiastically pivot to more militant anti-China policy.

He's close friends with Duterte and Marcos in the Philippines, and with the Parks in Korea. He's popular among Australian white nationalists. And he's the favorite of the Falun Gong and the Taiwanese ultra-nationalists.

Four years of Trump will almost certainly see us curtail trade with China and send more naval assets into the South China Sea.
