The US and Europe are returning to their natural sizes. The US tried to artificially -via printing- to keep its unnatural size. It resulted in a $36 trillion debt.

When I pointed that, log time ago, that this debt would come haunt the developed countries' economies, the response I got was that: The debt is in local currencies. To which I retorted: But it will need to be paid back.
There we are today. Servicing said debt costs $880 billion per year.

The geopolitical impact is that the US economy is so big that it causes ripples across the world economy. The more integrated to the US economy one is, the harder it is impacted by the ripples.

My other theory "capital has to be spread more evenly" still holds. The bigger the non G-7 economies become, the less the control Europe and the US have over of the world economy.

It is not Trump who is causing this. He and his team just accept the reality.
