USA is killing Europe just like killing its middle class. All to cater to the top 1%, of which the ruling class are from. Some of those in the ruling class like George Bush, are even members of the Deep State.
Democracy in the USA is to cater to the 1%, by the 1% and for the 1%. That is why democracy must never be mitigated by the rise of socialist China. It will be too heavy a price to pay for the top 1%.
You see, Trump is even going to cut taxes for the super-rich like Elon Musk and himself included but increasing taxes for the rest at the bottom of the pyramid with his tariffs. I think talking about tariff is meaningless, as Trump does not even know how it works other than punishing China.
You cannot explain the effect of tariffs to someone as blur as a sotong, as Trump is brain-dead on the issue. Or is Trump just pretending that he does not understand how tariff works? Remember Trump is a seasoned conman, having conned his way out of six bankruptcies.

As anticipated, Xi is not going to attend Trump's inauguration according to FT. Xi will send a high-level envoy instead. Trump can't fool great leaders like Putin and Xi.
ReplyDeleteObviously, Xi does not attach much importance in attending the inauguration event. Not with Trump still demonizing China and using China as a scapegoat to support his plans to take over Panama and Greenland, even before assuming office. If Trump still does not take the hint of the discreet message that Xi is sending, too bad. China no longer holds the USA to the same standing as in the past.
That brings me to the issue of Trump wanting to use force to take Panama, Canada, Mexico and Greenland if necessary. If the world does not say a word in protest, other than the threatened states, it is going to backfire badly on the USA and EU. The USA is playing into China's hands if it does go ahead under Trump, leveraging on which, China can seize Taiwan as well. Who then can raise any objection, knowing that Taiwan is part of China, as opposed to Panama, Mexico, Canada and Greenland which are truly sovereign states not under USA's jurisdiction. Have our 'Principled' one opened his mouth yet?
And some on MSM are saying that such actions by the USA will hurt China more than the USA. We shall see.
Well, according to the USA's propaganda machine, Ukraine is still winning the war. Trump's trade war has been won by the USA. Mexico is still paying for the wall. Trump's tariffs on China will cause Chinese EV and other manufacturing to collapse.
DeleteIf Trump takes over Mexico, does Mexico still needs to pay for the wall, LOL.
If Trump takes Mexico there is no need for a wall at its Southern Border with Mexico. He will have to build another wall on the Guatemala border instead and all-around Mexico if immigrants come by sea.
DeleteAt Carter's funeral, the leaders, former leaders and their wives used the occasion to humiliate each other. It was a circus of clowns trying to entertain those attending.
DeleteAt Trump's inauguration, I expect the same thing happening. Therefore, Xi's non presence is a good thing for him. Otherwise instead of humiliating each other, they may gang up to humiliate Xi and China.
