    Yes. I am. Majority of these ET trolls trying to manipulate Americans with their lies and disinformation are foreigners from Canada and Europe. Their countries economies are being destroyed by their own leaders yet, they are more concerned with President Donald Trump? These guys are not that smart.

    Some are thinking that the US might need EU support after Trump. At least have some institutions extend to keep things on life support. South Africa did similar with Namibia when it's government failed.

    Brussels is good with finding compromise solutions.

    Trump was too buddy buddy with China's leaders. Heck, even at the start of the Covid Pandemic, Trump was still speaking highly of China...the country that started the Pandemic.

    I do not know why Trump didn't first start with China in this trade war although I think we would still be where we are today had Trump started with China.

    Yet, now that China seems to be the headliner of Trump's global tariff war.

    Lets see if Trump can stay focus of China and doesn't go back to "highly praising China", talking about that "they are a great country", or "he has a great relationship with the leader of China".​

    Regardless, China has deep trade pockets with other countries. They can bypass most of United States tariffs by building & shipping their products to the United States through other countries who are "playing fair" with the United States because China has factories & manufacturers in those other countries along with so many copycat products even on American made only products that only an expert can determine which is from America and which is from China with an American label.

    China has been and always will be a threat to North America's entrepreneurs because we've been stupid by building our factories abroad in other countries because the labor costs are much cheaper so that the American people can get products cheap as possible or as a way to avoid paying higher wages to Americans if those products were built only in America.

    With that said, I'll say it again...the world is very unhealthy and America is near the top of the obesity list that cause a lot of medical problems that need pharmaceutical drugs to control the illnesses or diseases from obesity.

    China is kicking our butts in the export/import pharmaceutical trade business. This trade war with China will only get nastier if China continues with the crap.

    This is interesting as China have engaged in a total war against the west for quite a few years now and have organised in state , business, culturally, ideologically etc . Basically fascism.

    China's system is less about corporatist unity under state ideology (as in Mussolini's Italy) and more about a state-capitalist model-market mechanisms under strict political control. Also fascism and communism are historic mortal enemies.

    Calling Xi’s China “fascist” grabs attention, but it misrepresents key aspects of fascism’s historical meaning. A more accurate description would be a post-ideological Lennonist neo-totalitarian state.

    The CCP itself brands the ruling ideology as “Xi Jinping Thought,” an official doctrine that openly embraces a personality cult and elevates Xi to a status not seen since Mao.

    China has gotten away with a lot due to past US Presidents like Bill Clinton signed NAFTA into law. To be fair, RINOs were also, in the group of traitors who have betrayed the US to foreign interests and globalism. Not anymore though. Xi Jinping screwed up royally by engaging in a direct trade war against the US. Now, China is on the outside looking in. Chinese stock market crashing, Chinese ports just offloading empty containers with no shipping orders, Chinese shipping has ground to a halt, Chinese businesses going under as US customers cancel orders in the millions of dollars. The average Chinese citizen does not approve of the actions of Xi Jinping but, are totally helpless to oppose him. Lots of You Tube videos of how bad it is in China now.

    Leading fund managers have come to the conclusion that the problem is not that Trump is stupid, the problem is that he is insane.

    Fund Managers Worry Trump Might Be “Insane”
    Donald Trump’s moves are making people who actually understand the economy very nervous.

    “And their concern is that the White House is not acting rationally, but rather on ideology. And some even fear that this may not even be ideology,” Lee continued. “A few have quietly wondered if the President might be insane.”
