This is why the US no longer can be trusted to have such an outsized influence over global economics and diplomacy. It is a country with a barely financially literate population with nearly no interest in what happens outside its own borders. In electing Trump again, this voting decision has spilled beyond its borders to destabilize the lives of millions of non-Americans. The US has shit the bed, the rest of us get to lie in it.

The Trump administration will work tirelessly to avoid doing any actual work or research, going to all lengths to avoid that gay edumacation stuff.
We truly are living in idiocracy, except Camacho actually cared about his people and is 10 times the man Trump is

Trump Gives China’s Xi a Chance to Win Over World Hit by Tariffs

handing Xi Jinping a rare opening to deepen relationships across the board, including with key US allies in Asia and beyond.
Chinese officials moved quickly on Thursday to align with other nations
Speaking at the London Stock Exchange on Thursday for the launch of China’s first green sovereign bond sale, Vice Finance Minister Liao Min — one of Xi’s negotiators in the first trade war — hailed the issuance as demonstrating Beijing’s commitment to deeper integration with the international market.
Protectionism doesn’t work — it’s not a solution,” he said. “China and the UK understand the benefits of globalization, which are anchored by the robust foundation of cooperation.”
Many countries around the globe have already seen China overtake the US as their largest trading partners, and the latest tariffs may further increase their dependence on Beijing.
“Liberation Day isolates America from the rest of the world by incentivizing all other countries to trade with each other instead of America,” said Frank Tsai, an adjunct professor at the Emlyon Business School’s Shanghai campus. “China now has a golden opportunity to beat America at its own game.”

Confused economists and political pundits won’t understand how the tariffs make economic sense.
That’s because they don’t.
They aren’t designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.
The tariffs are Trump’s tool to erode independence
And once Trump has the lawyers, colleges and industry under his thumb, it becomes very hard for the opposition to have any viable space to maneuver.

Doesn't the publishing company usually choose the title?
EDIT: I watched the video before commenting. It's all insane how much of an echo chamber these far right folks are.

How many future lost generations are we facing now, all because a group of fools and con artists were handed the keys to the world's first economic superpower?
