Experts, including former Trump White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, say Trump is making America a 'less predictable ally' and will push countries elsewhere.
FILE - President Donald Trump answers questions from reporters as he signs an executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House, Jan. 23, 2025, in Washington. .That combative approach is likely making one-time friends to the U.S. look elsewhere for stability, a former Trump administration official says.
“It’s going to cause places like Canada and Mexico to seek alliances elsewhere, which is going to damage the long-term spirit and goodwill of America,” he said. “America’s built up this goodwill over 80 years, and Donald Trump really wants to break a system that’s worked well.”Get breaking National news
Kay said the actions Trump is taking could have long-lasting effects on America’s standing in the world and even its own security.While Trump’s first term was also adversarial toward U.S. allies — and Scaramucci was an aggressive spokesperson during his 11-day tenure — he says the difference this time is the lack of people in the administration willing to push back on Trump’s proposals, which Scaramucci said is “dangerous.
Kay said Scaramucci’s inability to adequately “speak Trump” inside the White House was “why Anthony only lasted for 11 days,” which Scaramucci agreed with.Kay added the near-total unity and loyalty of the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress has made it difficult for Democrats to mount an effective counter-message against their policies.
