It won't, because America has a habit of doing American things whenever it has too much economic anxiety.

What are these "American things" that we do when we have economic anxiety?

Electing our first black president after the great financial crisis?

Bailing Europe out of WW2 after the depression?

> Let's hope Trump weakening the US politically and economically plays out well for the world.

Well even CNN gave him credit for getting the two Koreas to talk and possibly end the 70 year old war:

"Clearly, credit goes to President Trump," Kang told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in Seoul. "He's been determined to come to grips with this from day one."

So in this case political "weakness" does seem to play well for the world?
