Subject: Re: Called this one
Yeah, I was going to call you on the weak USA. But another poster already pointed out that Trump abandoned Asia/Pacific, leaving China to fill the void. I complained about that at the time on tmf, and have continued to comment occasionally, as necessary.

Granted, for part of Trump's time, the Philippines leader hated the US (Duterte). But that is no excuse to abandon the region. But that's what he did.
