    Yeah, I don’t know how well their supply lines would cope against basically the entire world. But it’s still scary.

      Not the entire world, not by a long shot. Realistically the entire third world would have absolutely no problem trading with Trump’s America, at least not any more than with business as usual America. Then you have Europe which is ran by pussies who would never go to war unless European mainland territory (i.e. not Greenland) is threatened, which would never happen, and Japan and South Korea are right out. This leaves the only realistic belligerents as Canada and/or Mexico if they’re invaded, Venezuela and/or Iran if Trump picks a fight with them and China if and when they decide to take Taiwan. And of course throughout all this Russia would support America, providing easy access to resources and shipping. Point being: Even in a WWIII-ish scenario America will have plenty of people willing to give it resources for the war machine; the “against the entire world” thing is very eurocentric and unduly optimistic. Now that I’m typing this out, I’d honestly bet on America in WWIII.

      PS: Europe has plenty of fascists who would trade with America in such a scenario.
