In a world where America spends profligate amounts on defence and bullying others to spend big with America’s military contractors … in that world, the US government can’t afford to spend as much on community health as other western nations.

And if America under Trump is successful in encouraging other countries to up spending on their own defence, the Trump Administration is looking to give tax cuts, disproportionally to the wealthy whilst cutting funded medical aid even further, whilst also forcing pharmaceutical companies to charge more for drugs exported to other countries.

The only possible outcome from that transactional approach is for other countries to develop in country defence supply capacity and/or purchase from more aligned countries in bilateral trade deals … ditto for pharmaceuticals. ie, cut back buying military equipment and consumables and pharmaceuticals from American companies.

I look at macron strutting on the international stage and see another narcissist
