As Trump is gonna put his insane tariffs in place, what do you guys think is the goal here? Because I fear that he is playing 4D chess but making it look like he is playing checkers, and if his tariffs are out into place it’ll undoubtedly anger and radicalise lots of Americans especially, and just cause a general shitshow for approval ratings and threaten the domestic safety of capital. Thoughts?
Idk about this. 10 years ago definitely. But now? Theres a very real chance China can simply make places like Germany a better offer, and the US just further isolates itself. My guess is itll be a mixed bag. Some nations fall in line with the US while some are pushed right into Chinas arms. Its already a cold war again basically and itll be fought with soft power. The US soft power is crumbling while Chinas is booming.
