Yes, this is accurate and can be seen as either a good or a bad thing; Trump is convinced that he has alerted the world, including Europe, and he sees himself as the ruler. This might accelerate what other nations have been attempting to achieve, which is to detach from America’s influence. It could also awaken Europe to the potential of an American president pursuing them, compelling them to reinforce their connections with one another. However, while these nations will endure challenges during this time, it will ultimately fortify them in the future, leaving America feeling isolated in the future.
There is a saying, short-term benefits for long-term drawbacks and if this occurs no one will remember the short-term benefits.
Bully Talk from a global leader would certainly bring you into the spotlight.
The pardoning of those who attacked police officers doesn’t feel right.
Maybe a rushed decision flushed with the high of success.
The Pres needs a calm voice - the thing about Canada is difficult to understand - they sell their oil to him at a discount to open market -last time I remember $15 per barrel - likewise lumbar - the Chinese apparently willing to buy on same terms.
Edit: not sure if true Pres Trump has announced 25% tariffs on Colombian imports - raising to 50% in coming weeks.
Trade with Colombia runs at a surplus for US - so again if true - time will tell.

Trump’s ‘ice maiden’ freezes Elon Musk out of West Wing
Susie Wiles, the president’s chief of staff, has denied the billionaire touted as ‘the real vice-president’ a permanent office in the heart of the White House
The “ice maiden” at the heart of the Trump administration has won her first big battle this week — denying Elon Musk a permanent base in the West Wing of the White House.
Susie Wiles, a veteran Florida political fixer and the first female chief of staff, earned her nickname from President Trump for the calm professionalism she brought to his election campaign.
Observers call her job “the toughest in America”: she must bring order to Trump’s White House operation, control access to the president to keep him focused, manage senior staff and liaise with Congress to advance his legislative agenda.
Wiles, 67, wasted no time laying down the law to the new president’s staff, making it clear that “anyone who cannot be counted on to be collaborative and focused on our shared goals isn’t working in the West Wing”. She has warned that she does not welcome “people who want to work solo or be a star”.
This meant she faced an early challenge to quieten talk of Musk as a “co-president” or the “real vice-president” instead of JD Vance, given the entrepreneur’s tendency to grab headlines and promote his own agenda and allies.
