Trump's Win Ends a Post-World War II Era of U.S. Leadership
Briefly

"President-elect Donald J. Trump has made no secret of his desire to oversee the destruction of that world order. In his first term, he really didn't know how... Now, he has made clear, he has the knowledge, the motivation and a plan."
"If Mr. Trump makes good on the promises of his campaign, the age of largely free trade will be replaced with tariffs…with no reference to the fact that the approach contributed to the Great Depression."
"Mr. Trump's public musings on whether he will fulfill the treaty obligations Washington signed up to in 1949 could be enough to corrode the institution from the inside."
"The American mission that George W. Bush declared at his second inaugural, almost two decades ago, to seek and support the growth of democratic movements... is now officially over."
