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.
