There is no stopping China, just slowing and living beside. Even if the US completely embargoed China, the US is just 4 percent of the world. Say it buys garbage to 20 percent, that is still plenty of market to develop. And it has been, China is bending over backwards to replace US influence all over South America, it has Africa mostly in its pocket. Trump gave Xi every motive to boost military spending and dev and they are way ahead of where they would have been in 2020 thanks to his bungling. You are low IQ, you know this, your lifestyle reflects it but you might just grasp international relations are is not binary, win or lose.
IMO, At this point, Trump will only pardon those he believes (1) can be persuaded, with a deal, to testify against him; and (2) will lie under oath to protect him if he pardon's them.
Mob bosses have people killed. Trump has signed off on the deaths many as POTUS, including at least one American citizen (Portland) plus Epstein in all likelihood. He now has fanatics to command when he leaves office, some may actually have skills. Will his thirst for revenge go this far? I'm not sure it won't.
