Or they could just be incompetent when it comes to geopolitics just like they are on so many other issues. There’s a lot that they’re doing that just isn’t defensible rationally. Tariffs, vaccination and medical research, driving away the educated immigrants, energy independence…
Are a valid strategy and were the preferred solution to balance trade when the decision had to be made in the past. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name to look for on Wikipedia.
vaccination and medical research
Madness but could also be crowd control. They got the support of the vaccine crowd and split them off the left leaning independent thinkers.
driving away the educated immigrants
Same with immigrants in general. It’s bad for the economy. But they got ICE and there are no news about an actually happening brain drain.
energy independence…
Can’t push independence if they want all countries to be dependent.
Look, you’re welcome to think Trump is a very stable genius that is actually playing 4D chess with all this. I don’t think I’m interested in continuing the discussion in that case though.
The Trump administration’s policies are Trump’s policies. There is no US separate from that. I think that should be very clear to anyone who has watched how much he has reshaped the federal government in a year.
They have given up respecting other countries. Once China has surpassed the USA how will they be able to keep allies?
The US are going to lose their power unless they fight China. Would they fight China if China could erase them?

That entirely depends on requirements.

If Trump would blunder away American dominance the intelligent people and the billionaires would have pushed for an impeachment.
In a world of hybrid wars and deception I don’t believe in stupidity without hard proof.

I don’t think that Trump is that genius. I just think that Trump’s behaviour can’t be used to believe in an incompetent US.

JD Vance shows the influence of Thiel. Why should there be no influence on other positions?
