America is a very strong trading power - but not as strong as it thinks it is. And it is absolutely not invincible for China.
Similarly, America is also a very strong military power, the strongest in the world. But here, too, it is not as strong as it thinks it is. Above all, people in America do not currently understand what makes America strong: namely a network of allies that provide bases for operations and logistics hubs globally, to an extent that neither Russia nor China can boast. The disadvantage is that the American armed forces cover the entire planet and are therefore overstretched due to this large playing field.
Trump hasn't got a clue about any of this. To be clear, I think driving the tariffs up to make Chia pay for its constant violation of copyright protection and unfair trade practices is okay, I follow until here: confronting Chinas we should. But not in this dilletantic and self-damaging fashion! He is messing with China, although China is much better prepared financially than the USA is, and at the same time he is pissing off trading partners and allies, and driving both China and former allies towards each other. The trade conflict with China also has the potential to devolve into a hot war, in which Wahsington has only the opportunity to drive the price of China's victory and eventual conquest or destruction of Taiwan without being able to realistically demonstrate how they think they can win such a war. And as a side-effect, Trump destroys the global role of the dollar, one of America's most valuable strategic weapons. As a result, we currently see the biggest exodus of money from the US I have ever red or heard of. Capital currently flees from America. In unimaginable amounts.
In other words, everything Trump tackles - fails, and weakens America, and does the opposite of what he claims.
Idiot.

Probably the biggest political idiot since - well, since a damn very long time anyway.
