This Trump fiasco is marginalizing America, telegraphing she is no longer a leader nor even a reliable partner.
As soon as Trump announced joining Syria & Nicaragua in pulling out of the Paris climate accord, China issued a statement claiming they would take the lead!
"Just a week after President Trump announced his decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, China has already wrestled the mantle of leadership on climate change from the United States.
In a high-level meeting of energy ministers in Beijing this week, China played the convening role in bringing together countries from across the globe for a discussion on how to deploy clean energy."

This is what happens when you don't lead; you follow, or the world leaves you behind.
Fine. Let China screw their economy for awhile.
