An excerpt from this;

Dr Michael J. Green

One does not have to look hard to find statements by Donald Trump
that would cause deep anxiety for US allies. Then again, one would have to look hard to find a US alliance in the Indo-Pacific where the Biden administration is not building on initiatives started during Trump’s time in office. US presidential elections always cause some level of anxiety for allies and this one will deservedly cause more than most. But as the humourist Mark Twain observed about the music of Richard Wagner, it was “better than it sounds.”

First, the bad news. Donald Trump was the most deliberately divisive president in US history and has only doubled down as a candidate in 2024. Since he began attacking Japan in the 1980s,
he has argued that US allies are cheaters, particularly countries that run trade surpluses with the United States. This is nonsensical, but scores of officials and members of Congress have failed to convince him that he cannot view alliances like he is head of the accounts payable department. Trump has been embroiled in more than 4,000 legal suits over the course of his career — mostly with erstwhile business partners and subcontractors.

He saw his real mates as the heads of the rival casinos. Not surprisingly, as president he sought the adoration of Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un and — for a time — Xi Jinping. Trump thought nothing of unilaterally floating the withdrawal of US troops from Korea to Kim Jong Un or, since leaving office, proposing a peace plan to Putin predicated on ending military support for President Zelensky in Ukraine.
