tRuMp sTuPiD crowd gets it wrong again.

As Yanis Varoufakis has been yelling from the rooftops since last year, Trump isn't an idiot. His tariff war is harmful for billions of people but it is calculated and NOT STUPID. He genuinely has a shot at reducing trade deficit and making his base happy with his tariff war.

So far, Trump got US a far better deal with China compared to what US had under Biden, and is on the path to do so with the EU too. Others will follow suit if not careful.

The real idiots are those who undermine him and stick to their comfortable position of being a western supremacist. The only possible path for EU was to entertain the idea of entering these negotiations together with Mexico, China, India - but EU leadership is too racist to ever consider themselves equal to these countries.

To be clear, this was a realism post, not an idealism post. It's a wake up call.

Trump is successfully playing libs & fractured coalitions; making the world more unipolar and dangerous, using US hegemony to establish it as the evil empire that it always has been, but ultimately delivering on his campaign promises.
