Right now china is probably our least of problems. This is probably why.

This fucker is singlehandedly dismantling global US economic and political hegemony.

Honestly, with USAs track record over the past century, it’s probably well deserved for it to crash and burn. I’m just worried about the flaming fallout that will crush everyone else underneath, and what new monster will step in to take its place.

MAGAts bro, they are usually extremely low IQ individuals, and believe everything he says.

Not that these are wrong, but I wonder about recency bias. Have these indicators been trending downward for 20 years, or is this just a response to our current crop of morons?

If Obama v2 was elected tomorrow, would these instantly reverse, like the international opinion seemed to when he took over from W?

There’s probably going to be some reversal in such a scenario but I think this time it goes deeper than that. People see it’s not just the clowns in the White House, it’s also all major American corporations and their owners. Those won’t change with the coming of Obama v2, and they’re not about to start exracting less from us. Meanwhile China’s gonna keep taking more and more mindshare with more and more high and low tech products in people’s lives. I think a significant reversal that puts the US above China would only occur under an FDR figure that curbstomps the whole US oligarchy.

Incorrect: Trump tilts the ones whom the US HAD BEEN allied-with, toward Beijing.

Trump’s, & once his dictatorship’s instantiated, executions/PURGE & all, then Trump’s ONLY allies, & therefore Trump-dictatorship’s US’s allies, will ONLY be the far-right territory-leaders/possessors.

Millei, Putin, Orban, Netanyahu if he’s still alive after nuking Iran, Farage, etc.

They’ll probably be all-too-happy to do business with Trump’s dystopia/hellscape.
