As a political Hegemon President Trump has truly shown his true grit by not being a follower in a crowd. He hasn't lost fans in this non-Statesmanlike foray in global politics, in fact, quite on the contrary, the President has gained support from an ochlocratic base from the hoi polloi who has welcomed true leadership from an American President who leads from the front and would not kowtow to a global weltgeist even if science, media and world entertainment, like a Roland Emmerich natural disaster movie can hope to influence the hearts and minds of the world. From this point alone, I too have warmed up to Trump's international arrogance from this standpoint.
As for his domestic troubles, well, this will only add fuel to the fire. His volatility at such a short period of his presidency has been frenetic and this President is certainly a President like no other. He has been a unique manifestation of America that a spaghetti westerns would only emulate as an all conquering American gunslinger getting down and dirty at high noon against all challengers. Yes, this includes each respective world leader across the way.
