The U.S. set the global order after WWII. Trump has other plans
From the ashes of World War II, President Harry Truman helped create global institutions that have defined international order. President Trump is moving aggressively to scale back that U.S. role.

Markets have served as a constraint on Donald Trump, most directly by threatening to push up interest rates or the cost of government borrowing, forcing the president to back down.
Trump’s 100 days have been like no other
But the scale and shock of the president’s policymaking threatens to undermine his primary foreign policy objective: maintaining an advantage over China.

As Ikenberry (2017) noted, previous world orders in ancient and modern periods were subverted by external, hostile revisionist powers. But, for this time, the President sitting in the Oval Office, does his best to devastate the global order the US created. www.jstor.org/stable/44823...
