Great powers often decline through self-inflicted blows. By starting a trade war he was unable to follow through on, Donald Trump may have just dealt a severe one to the United States.
*Putin’s tariffs.
It has been obvious for many years that the Trump movement aims at the downfall of America, through the promotion and exaggeration of America’s flaws and the increasingly violent suppression of its virtues.
That’s why Putin bought him.
The world applaudes the downfall of america
I don’t think the world applauds that at all. The US used to be the good guys. Very flawed but still “good” as things go. Now they’re just dangerous and thrashing wildly…
Except, being controlled by Putin makes trump an adversary.
This is erasure of the unique grassroots brand of American stupidity.
