Never underestimate the stupidity of D graders. They cannot differentiate what is good and bad, who is taking advantage of the world or being raped by the world. Trump used to rant about America being raped by China and the world with huge trading deficits. To the ignoramus clowns like Trump, trade deficits must be bad and must be reduced at all costs. This led to his tariff wars and sanctions against China and all American trade partners...to reduce trade deficits.
The truth is that America only buys what it needs, what it wants, what is of value to America. The big trade deficits mean that America is seeing great value from its buying of foreign goods and services. America and Americans would not be buying and buying if not getting benefits and values from their spending. That is why the average Americans are all looking like overfed gorillas, especially the beasts in American police uniforms. They eat too much, consumed too much. Whose fault is that? They can't grow that big for being raped by overconsumption.
America can reduce its trade deficit simply by consuming less, by not importing more, by compromising on their good life from purchasing cheap and good stuff they need from abroad. Why called this as being raped by China? Oops, D grade Trump's has limited vocabulary and is only familiar with thug language.
The other big farce that D grade Trump and his clowns could not appreciate is the monopoly money they are using to exchange for goods and services. The pieces of paper the Americans printed cost as much as the paper and ink used, nothing more. America and Americans are benefitting all the way, actually cheating and raping the world by exchanging their useless pieces of paper for real stuff, useful stuff that American needs.
What is US$40 trillion debt? This is meaningless, at little cost to America, and deliberately allowed to balloon by the Americans as a special exorbitant privilege. Only America can enjoy this privilege by being the issuer of the international currency, the greenbacks. And this is a happy debt if trust is not undermined or destroyed. The debt can go to infinity, America can continue to print all the dollars they need and want, to buy and consume all they want, with nothing to worry about.
But then comes along D grade Trump to destroy this special privilege by grabbing money belonging to other states and individuals, like gangsters, thinking there will be no consequences. And the clowns that Trump brought along, appointed to be incharge of monetary and financial policies just do what Trump wants him to do. They continue to undermine the trust in the dollar and the American banking and finance system, destroying the decades of trust built in the dollar and SWIFT system.
The rest is history. Dedollarisation is in full steam. BRICS banking and financial systems are all ready to take over the role of SWIFT, to replace all that the Americans have built. Thanks to D grade Trump and his clowns, this process is irreversible and they did not have any inkling of it. The Designated National List and Specially Designated National List continue to expand to sanction and ban more entities and individuals from the SWIFT system, meaning sending more away to alternative systems. And the latest additional list of entities being banned was in February 2025. It means till now, these clowns still cannot see the damage and harm they are doing to America and the SWIFT system. Simply unbelievable! But what can one expect from clowns? They are happily chipping away the dollar and SWIFT system and their exorbitant privilege. The US$40 trillion debt is now hanging like the albatross on the neck of America, about to rip it off.
PS. If America were to cut down its trade with China to reduce the trade deficit, and then to buy the same items from somewhere else, America's trade deficit would grow much bigger because no other country can sell at a lower price than China,
