And most of you probably voted for it:

A discussion on CNN's "Table for Five" about Donald Trump's ambush of South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office this week led one conservative contributor to note the president's biggest problem with world leaders.

With CNN's Sara Sidner filling in for regular host Abby Phillip, conservative S.E. Cupp stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin considers himself lucky that his adversary is Trump.

"Donald Trump, just to psychologize this a little bit, Donald Trump desperately wants the respect of world leaders," she told the panel. "He doesn't have it, that is so obvious."

"Putin can't believe his luck that he got such a gullible counterpart in America," she continued. "He [Trump] has not been able to end that war on day one, he has not been able to push for peace in Gaza. the EU countries are ignoring his tariff threat because they're like, 'Well, we'll just wait, we'll just wait him out.'"

"He desperately wants the respect, and I think that's why he resorts to some of these bullying antics in the Oval Office, because the only way he can get it is through strong-arming," she added. "They don't respect him, they think he's a joke. They think he is the embodiment of America's ugliest stereotypes."

"So I think there's an insecurity and a chip on his shoulder there when he's meeting with his counterparts," she remarked. "He wants something he knows he doesn't have. He won't get it, so he'll do what he can to strong-arm it."

When Trump doesn't get the respect of world leaders, and he can't hide it from the American public any longer (the ones too gullible to see it already), s**ts gonna hit the fan.  He'll use strong arm tactics like you've never seen before, all the while concentrating his time on that which lines his own pockets and causes maximum pain for those on his "enemies" list.  Nobody to backstop him this time.  He has his gaggle of "yes" cabinet toadys, bootlickers, lackeys.  No, gold is not going down.  Dollar is going down.  Same for equities.  Same for soybeans and corn.  Our trading partners will be forced to do for themselves, among themselves.  He will not relent.  UNLESS, Congress grows a pair.  Hey, grow just one, would be a start.  You take habeas corpus down, and this whole American experiment is done.  There's a reason that was put in Article 1 of the Constitution.  

In short, Trump won't let his time as POTUS slip away without ensuring two things: 1) the Trump brand profits immensely, and 2) his retribution is complete.  The markets will be collateral damage.
