    As the POTUS, Trump gets to set the bar on the world stage for international cooperation in many parts of life.

    Other leaders, world-wide, will follow his lead, either because they can finally get away with it, or in reaction to how he treats their nation.

    We saw this to a small degree with Trump 1.0 when nobody expected him to win. Now the entire world has had 8 years to figure out what they are going to do.
