After
Trump’s second rise to power, he aided his patrons China and Russia in bringing
about America’s complete decline. In less than a year of his destructive rule,
the United States has already, without question, begun to collapse—at a speed
and scale unmatched. Although Trump came to office under the slogan “Make
America Great Again,” it resembles Putin’s “Give me 20 years and I’ll return
you a strong Russia,” and China’s “Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation—the
China Dream.” These narratives follow the same logic: not shameless lies
exactly, but promises whose hopes of success were already doomed at the moment
they were made. America has never truly declined, Russia is not truly strong,
and China may not necessarily be rejuvenated.
Cracking
down on China’s authoritarian government with a trade war was understandable,
but launching a trade war against the entire world only pushed countries to
hedge their bets, using China as leverage to counter U.S. economic sanctions.
In reality, this accelerated China’s expansion in international trade.
U.S.–China economic cooperation has been a long‑term national policy pursued by
successive American governments since the end of the Cold War. To change it
requires a long‑term,
targeted plan, coordinated with allies, gradually cutting ties until full
decoupling is achieved—a process that would take at least a decade. Instead,
Trump launched a global trade war, driving allies toward China and isolating
the U.S. Given the deep entanglement of U.S.–China economic ties, short‑term separation is impossible,
and the return of manufacturing lacks basic conditions. Thus, when China
introduced its so‑called
rare earth control strategy, the U.S. effectively admitted defeat and abandoned
the trade war.
After
forty years of globalization, the tariffs imposed during the trade war
ultimately balanced out and canceled each other. Today, the trade war is no
longer a topic Trump even mentions. Beyond creating countless confrontations
internationally, he has abandoned the fight on trade tariffs, powerless to
continue—a complete farce. China emerged with absolute victory, gaining deeper
and broader economic influence worldwide, becoming the true leader of the
global economy. The U.S., meanwhile, alienated allies, pursued only its own
interests, harmed global economic development, and surrendered its role as
international economic leader, becoming marginalized.
To
help Putin out of his predicament, America under Trump even sided with Russia,
indirectly withdrawing from NATO and halting military aid to Ukraine. With the
U.S. abandoning Europe, Britain, France, and Germany led other nations in
independently resisting Russia. As Ukraine’s military strength and striking
power grew, Europe proved capable of handling its own affairs without U.S.
intervention, provided support for Ukraine continued. With America’s exit from
NATO, it lost leadership and ceased to be taken seriously in other
international matters. In short, the U.S. has been marginalized. Losing
military leadership inevitably undermined its economic position, and the
continued decline of the dollar became inevitable.
The military and monetary
advantages America relied on since World War II have vanished. As Russia’s
accomplice, the U.S. lost Europe’s trust. Other nations scoffed at America’s
abandonment of allies, of European security, and of opposition to aggression.
Thus, the U.S. forfeited its role as guardian of international peace, and the
post‑WWII
American‑led
political, economic, military, and diplomatic system collapsed. In short,
America lost its international credibility.
Rumors
swirl that Trump’s wife is a Russian spy. After multiple bankruptcies, Trump
was repeatedly rescued by Russian funds. As early as the 1980s, during a visit
to the Soviet Union, he received certain promises. In his first presidential
campaign, he gained Russian support, exploiting loopholes in the U.S. electoral
system, turning himself into an internet celebrity to attract traffic, and
ultimately winning the presidency. Upon his second election, his urgent mission
was to help Russia turn its invasion of Ukraine into a fait accompli—cutting
off military aid to force Zelensky’s surrender and the partition of Ukraine.
Next, with U.S. approval and assistance, Russia would launch military action
against the Baltic states and Poland, then Sweden, Finland, Turkey, and
eventually all of Europe. Thus, Putin’s “Russian Dream” would be realized, with
Trump as the Cold War‑era
strategic pawn against NATO, finally dismantling NATO after the Soviet Union’s collapse.
In
just one year, Trump helped China and Russia achieve anti‑American goals they had pursued
for decades without success. America has since entered decline, transformed
from the world’s sole superpower and international leader into a marginalized
nation led by a clown. In Trump’s subsequent three years of
leadership, aside from his family profiting through open market manipulation,
America as a global leader—the so‑called beacon of democracy—has long since gone dark. The
countdown to “America sinking” has begun.
