No, the objective is very clear. All the hand-wringing and drama around this is perplexing to me, considering the proportionality of harm is greater on us than the rest of the world in the short term.
It's simple: Trump has bet his entire legacy on reshaping the American economy and reducing our dependence on China. China cannot be our main adversary, yet we continue to rely heavily on them for critical goods. The current obsession with Taiwan is largely on American radars due to its chip production. Biden rightly helped us lessen our dependence, but that must accelerate.
Trump will either succeed or fail, and that is how history will remember him. As an American, I hope it works. If he fails, my family will likely suffer. If he fails, it will be American lives that die protecting Taiwan, not yours.
Again, criticize the plan, criticize the man, criticize us for voting for him; all that is kosher with me. But unlike your leaders who continue to buy a record amount of Russian gas, we are at least TRYING to change the geopolitical landscape.
So, no, owning the Euro libs is not winning. Breaking our multi-decade dependence on China and other countries' cheap imported junk is winning.
