Yep, the USA can continue to send more missiles and other weapons to Israel and Ukraine to be popped and gone in a jiffy. It works wonders for the USA Military Industrial Complex, but for how long when it has to resort to buying rare earth elements under the table from countries like India and South Korea. That has now been cut off by China. But, not to worry, because Trump is shouting 'dig baby dig' for rare earth around the world, even under the ocean and in space. Soon rare earth would fill silos in the USA, waiting for China to refine them.
When China refused to refine those rare earth ores, Trump will need to shout 'build baby build' erecting its own refining facilities. By the time those refining facilities are finished, Trump would be long gone from the face of the earth. And if problems arise, the next President will blame Trump, just like Trump blaming Biden and so on and so forth. The USA is a blaming society with no one looking into the mirror.

Certainly not within Trump's lifetime. Trump can keep up his grandstanding, continue with his piracy and robbery agenda, but the collapse is near with what he is doing. Never has any USA President managed to collapse the USA so fast, so decisively and practically turning the USA into a terrorist state, abhorred by the rest of the world except the Anglo-Saxon sect.
Trump's plan is all gathered from dreams and implemented when he wakes up the next morning. Nothing is the result of planning. Nothing is about making sure the horse is in front of the cart. In Trump's world, just having a horse and a cart is enough, never mind which goes in front and whether the contraption moves at all.
Did Trump's trade war crippled China? It did cripple some people - the farmers in the USA and not China. On the other hand, it was to lead to the rise of BRICS and the Global South. It was a blessing in disguise for Brazilian, Russian and Argentinian farmers taking over the Chinese market.
Did the USA sanctions on Huawei killed it? Huawei is now competing with USA chip titans and other global telecommunication giants like Ericson and Nokia. What does not kill Huawei makes it stronger and it is the nightmare that the USA did not want and did not expect. Huawei's innovative DNA was what makes the USA terrified of the company and had to ban it.
Trump can seize Venezuela's oil to plug the USA's huge debt blackhole. Trump can shout 'drill baby drill' for more oil to flood the market, bring down the price of energy, but that will also kill off USA oil companies, who will be unable to break even with oil prices falling. The sword cuts both ways.
China is reported to be building renewable energy generating infrastructures that now powers more of China's electrification demand and allows the country to depend less on oil and coal. In fact, the expectation is that China's demand for oil and coal will decline progressively going forward.
