If you’re not aware of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech Tuesday at the World Economic Forum, learn about it fast.

It’s the future Trump bequeaths us. A world in which we, the people of the United States, no longer matter the way we have my entire 71-3/4 years. 

What Carney said, basically, is what we’ve been trying to point out since this country put Trump back in the White House a year ago. 

Basically, the world is tired of trying to figure out what this buffoon wants or doesn’t want. Of him proposing nonsensical actions and wondering if he really means it. Of criticizing and belittling our loyal partners while turning tyrants and murderers into role models and buddies.

Who the hell thinks one of our enemies is Canada? Or Denmark? Or Mexico? Or France?

Who the hell looks up to Putin? Or Xi? Or MBS? Or Netanyahu?

The civilized world is through with this crap. Unlike the American Left, they can and will shake Trump off. They will treat us like the second-class power we’ve become. They’ll deal with us when it’s in their interest and ignore us when it’s not. And if we try to bully our way into what rightfully belongs to them, they will fight – even if they lose, they’ll make us bleed and hurt.

Since the end of World War II, we’ve claimed to be the moral and cultural compass of the world. We talk about freedom as if we are the best exemplars of it – as if other countries don’t have it as much as we do.

Because they thought we were trying to achieve a more perfect union, they gave us the benefit of the doubt. The civil rights movement, which Trump asininely proclaims hurt white men, made other nations believe that we were reckoning with centuries of racism and the legacy of slavery. We wanted emerging nations to embrace democracy and the electoral process – even as we tried to make it harder for some to cast a ballot.

Carney called BS on this. The United States has turned from paying lip service to ideals to not even trying. It remains a powerful nation, with a massive military and weapons enough to destroy the world. And, with this cetriolo seeking a dictatorship or absolute monarchy, the policy of this administration is to get what it wants by whatever means necessary – mores, alliances and tradition be damned.

The Greenland debacle is the epitome of it all. I mean, it has never crossed a rational mind that there should be any dispute. If you read a book, if you ever watched “Borgen” on Netflix (a great Danish TV show!), you know that Denmark and Greenland have an 800-year history that has worked itself out. 

The United States has as much access to Greenland as it could possibly need right now. And yet, we put our relationship with all of the European Union at risk because of some need to add territory.

Trump appeared to back down Wednesday after his debacle of a speech at Davos, giving the face-saving we’ve-agreed-to-talk-about-it he loves to use when he caves from his ridiculous demands.

But my guess is the world is fed up. It has more important things to do – there are real problems to solve involving climate change, global migration, technology and economic justice. If the United States wants to ignore this, that’s its problem.

Except that we’re Americans, so it’s our problem.

Here’s one way this will all manifest itself:

The United States dominated the automobile industry for much of the 20th century. It only ceded its leadership when it refused to innovate – and Japan and South Korea filled the void. That’s why Toyotas and Hyundais dominate the road – and Fords and Chevys get harder to find.

Now, just as the American carmakers figured it out and started down the path of non-gasoline powered vehicles, Trump is ending any incentives to keep going. He wants more oil – re: the Venezuelan tomfoolery. He wants to drill in parts of this country set aside for environmental protection.

That’s dumb. That’s also expensive – while gas isn’t as high as it was a few years ago, you still pay something between $2.50 and $3 a gallon for it.

Meanwhile, Europe and China have looked at the innovation in electric vehicle manufacturing and are betting big on it. The progress made in the last 10 years is phenomenal – imagine what it’ll be like in 2036.

Except here. The rest of the world will be running on sustainable, low-cost electricity while we putt-putt and need to fill the tank.

Joe Biden tried to fix this. Kamala Harris would have protected and expanded his gains. Instead, Trump is trying to erase it all.

It’ll be this way in everything else. Food and appliances. Airplanes and technology. The arts and sports.

The images of America that will guide the rest of the world won’t be F-16 flyovers and the Academy Awards. It will be watching goons terrorize the people of Minneapolis and sending people to countries they’ve never known. It’ll be the adoration society for a senile dingbat with no culture, no soul, no compassion and no intellect.

We’ve cast aside our empire. We ruled the world – and the world didn’t seem to mind.

Now it will. We shot ourselves in the foot. This time, the wound won’t heal as fast as Trump’s ear did – if it heals at all.
