I find the whole situation is truly amusing, trump admin was the most anti China in history and before covid trump was almost guaranteed to win, now after covid he is as good as gone, to me its seems like China pulled a regime change on the us how the mighty has fallen
Don't fight them where they are strong fight them where they are weak, Sun Tzu must be so proud right now lol
I still believe in the old stereotype.
It was that story about Richard Nixon, when told that Kennedy was shot. Nixon's reaction was instinctive when he immediately asked, "Was it a right wing nut?"
President Nixon did not consider himself a right wing nut. But was he truly hated, because he was a right winger.
After a while, listening to statements over the years, you know who are the right wing nuts in US politics. Here is a test. John Bolton. Of course, that is right wing nut. Too obvious.
That is the point, and the stereotype. The right wing nut of America politics is stupid. That is the main point to know about them. Also, they tend to have a comic book view of the world, cowboys and Indians, and everything approaches Armageddon. You know how some mathematical principles approaches infinity? Everything for them right wing nuts approaches Armageddon if America not on top.
The Trump administration is just basically composed of right wing nuts.
Usually when the Republicans are in power, the normal right wingers are in control, although there could be and usually was a couple of right wing nuts in the government. The Trump administration was different, the right wing nuts had almost a majority and were in full control.
The way to beat the right wing nut, since they are stupid, they are easily outmaneuvered. After a couple of rounds of being outclassed by demonstrating no strategy, they undermine their own entire plan, rendering it useless and themselves ineffective.
Happens all the time. Remember Bolton's coup in Venezuela? There is still no resolution and he's been fired for two years. But that is so atypical of the American right wing nut, how they see the world and what they do.
Trump was good for China because of the innate stupidity of the American right wing nut. These last four years, nothing more than that.
