Trump thinks his way can "shake up this world". Actually his way does shake up this world, but usually not in the way he expected. There are many practical limits on shock-and-awe, at least one must have such a power to shock and awe. Certain things and objects are best handled with care because they are fragile. Hard-nosed diplomacy has been the norm of the USA since WW2, Trump has not changed that general impression the USA presents itself to the world. But this is 2025, not 1945.
