I completely agree with the historical parallels — in fact, I reached many of the same conclusions long before reading this article. But my interpretation diverges in several key areas.

First, Trump’s actions aren’t “chaotic” or “lobotomized.” They’re non-consensus. He’s not playing the polite, technocratic game — he’s tearing up a rulebook written by the very elites who hollowed out the West. The article critiques tariffs, but what’s the alternative? More financial alchemy, more central bank doublespeak, more slow decay dressed up as progress? Trump isn’t papering over the symptoms — he’s ripping out the rot at the root.

He’s targeting the CCP where it stings — their offshore wealth, their backdoor deals, their hidden influence. He’s driving wedges into elite alliances and forcing countries to make a choice: align with the U.S. and enjoy zero tariffs, or get bypassed entirely. It’s that simple. And let’s be real — debt means nothing if you can’t enforce it. Power enforces contracts. And the U.S. still has that leverage.

Everyone loves to say “China,” but no one says Chinese Communist Party. It’s not about the people — it’s about the regime. People like Rachel Reeves would rather cozy up to authoritarian technocrats than cooperate with Trump. But he’s the one exposing the Crown Corporate oligarchy still ruling over Europe, the UK, and their offshore empire.

Remember when Trump slapped tariffs on “Penguin Island”? The media mocked him — but he was exposing the Crown’s shell structures and tax avoidance networks. That wasn’t ignorance. That was precision. And the press, in their knee-jerk reaction, revealed just how deep they’re entangled in that very system.

The article warns of “American overreach,” yet says nothing of China’s fragility. The CCP cannot afford a Trump success. Their military is second-rate. Their real job is suppressing their own citizens. A Taiwan blockade? That’s not power — it’s suicide. Trump would happily absorb Taiwan’s industry and know-how into the U.S., collapsing China’s export leverage in one move.

A reindustrialized U.S. doesn’t just shift global supply chains — it ends the CCP’s economic model. That’s why they’re scrambling for gold, building bilateral trade routes, and trying to carve out a new role in a monetary order they no longer control. Not from a position of strength — but fear. Fear that the real economy — not fiat — will define the next global standard.

Trump isn’t deluded. He’s one of the only leaders responding to the world as it is, not as it used to be. Everyone else is still stuck in a 1971–2008 fantasy, hoping debt, diplomacy, and ESG slogans can delay collapse.

That’s not strategy. That’s denial.

And let’s kill this tired narrative once and for all — Trump dumb, China genius. No. China still depends on Israel for core military tech. The CCP doesn’t innovate — it imitates. You can’t claim to be a dominant power while outsourcing your breakthroughs. Same goes for Russia.

Meanwhile, Trump is beating Europe over the head with its own stick. Look at Germany: building Nord Stream while funding NATO. Paying billions to Russia while claiming to protect against them. Who runs that racket? European oligarchs — Trump exposed that. And now he’s pulling U.S. defense away from Europe. He called Zelensky a dictator — just days before the UK-Ukraine treaty was meant to be cemented. That voids it. He’s not playing along anymore.

Europe will print itself into oblivion. That’s why gold is going up. But the U.S. dollar won’t fail. The EU is crippled by debt, bloated social schemes, and a total absence of hard power. They offshored manufacturing to China — which, let’s not forget, is Russia’s ally. Trump’s message is simple: you align with the U.S., or you get left behind.

This isn’t about Trump the man. It’s about tearing down a parasitic oligarchy — one that exported your jobs, imported China’s surveillance tech, and now wants you to worship unelected central bankers flown in from Canada.

Trump is at war with the old Crown Corporate Empire. And he’s winning. That’s why they’re terrified — and why the fear campaign is always “China this, China that.”

But here’s the truth: the world shouldn’t fear China. It should fear the United States.

Under Trump, America is finally remembering how to use its power. They've tried to KILL HIM TWICE.

Thanks for the note. Some interesting points. Here are some counters:

RE: Trump Tariffs - Tariffs are not offensive weapons, they are defensive, designed to protect existing industry. Tariffs have backfired immensely (USD / Bonds are falling) already because the world does not depend on US dollars anymore, which is all we really export. (look up the American System - Alexander Hamilton or read Robert Gordon's book "Rise and Fall of American Growth)

RE: Alternative - We need to definancialize. Begin with a reorg of USG, restructure eliminate entitlements, gut DOD, and initiate a monetary reset (new currency, new financial system etc.) Such reform will likely demand a depression followed by a painful reset. (Here is a video addressing what is coming: https://youtu.be/_YoFv-spBP8?si=atrCwvSM5_PzMWtm)

RE: China - China has built the most integrated and robust industrial suite in the world and the most successful anti-poverty program in world history. China is also an isolationist power that poses zero threat to the US. (A video to learn more: https://youtu.be/rT5VUfhir0A?si=WgO1GrP1oELEjARR)

RE: Russia has won the war in Ukraine because they reformed and reinvigorated their armed forces while the US military is a hollowed DEI shell of its former self, unfortunately. War is an industrial activity and the West has been completely hollowed out, including the USM.

RE: Europe - Beating Europe over the head makes no sense. We need to withdraw US forces, divest from NATO, and disassemble a costly empire and retrench fiscally. DT is doing none of that, and in many cases his Zionist group are worse warmongers than Biden.

Unfortunately, DT does not really have control of his own government or understand how it functions either. The issue we face is not about R vs D, or elections, it goes much deeper and pertains to the structure of the USG, which is old and inefficient. (A video to learn more: https://youtu.be/4SC6PSQbuyM?si=-N2nFMkaG734iPuI)

DT admin will likely implode inside a hobbled governmental structure as the fiscal situation melts down.

Hard times coming. Buckle up!

I dont agree with part of the analysis. The main point is whats happens in Europe. European defense is dependant on the USA. Should Europe join the US in the figth against China, the US would have a good oportunity to stand against China.

And Europe knows that there is no other option. Not only because the threath of Russia, but also because Europe may become a Chinise colony from an economic point of view.

Nobody want to tell their citizens that there will be a great crisis. But eventually they should.

Some pieces are still realigning. The UK and Canada being next.
