The Rules-Based World Order

 "Donald Trump has waged an often unpredictable campaign that has upended parts of the rules-based world order that Washington helped build from the ashes of World War II."

Point 1. Rueters, AOL, The Economic Times, RTE, Times Live, Asia One, Dawn.com, The Kathmandu Post, The Straits Times, US News, MSN, News 24, Yahoo News and who knows how many others have used the identical verbiage in the same order to describe the havoc wreaked by the second time POTUS. Does this mean that all of their work is written by the same individual or that lesser typists are given detailed instructions or that the copy is a product of AI? 

Point 2. The "rules-based world order".  Is there a book somewhere that spells out the rules? Does everyone believe and follow the rules?. Amazon will sell you a world rules book,  

"Singapore’s State-Led Capitalism in a Rules-Based World Order", but that's probably not exactly what's needed. No doubt the Orange Man chatted with his underlings in an effort to  find out what their thoughts might be on the subject. Making Canada a 51st state, changing the name of a large area of ocean to the Gulf of America, incorporating Greenland as a province, occupying the Philippines, taking over an independent state, The Republic of Hawaii, forking over $7 million for Alaska. All, no doubt, perfectly legitimate according to the rules-based world order.
