    USA strategy rn:

    become a global superpower by strongarming countries in asymmetric deals & trades that benefit the West

    proceed to tariff the fuck out of them when they found out private american manufacturing has relied heavily on imports to save costs & subsequently diminished its manufacturing power

    America will be its own greatest undoing

    That’s incredibly stupid. I’m pretty sure doing that would hurt all his tech bros though so I’m thinking it won’t actually happen.
