"AMERICA'S LEADERSHIP? MIA UNDER POTUS"

  "AMERICA'S LEADERSHIP? MIA UNDER POTUS" ...the world no longer views America as the global superpower it once was. The decline isn’t just happening; it’s already happened. Michael Cohen Mar 16 There was a time when the President of the United States was the de facto leader of the free world. When American leadership wasn’t just expected; it was demanded. The world turned to the White House for strength, guidance, and the moral authority to shape global events. But now?
