Trump's belligerent foolishness is forcing America Last

Bellicose foolishness?

Continuing 'Dementia Joe' Biden's foundations-crumbling work, President Trump's de facto anti-US bumbling is everywhere.

In addition to going whole hog in trying to start an America-weakening war with Iran — as well as making most of the world hate us for our material complicity with the ongoing genocide in Gaza — Trump's US-isolating tariffs will lead the American economy toward accelerating collapse.

Regarding this coming economic disaster . . .

. . . Oliver Hua, writing as Hua Bin, forecasts the following:

As Trump rolls out his tariffs on the world on “liberation day”, China watches with glee.

It doesn't happen everyday when one's adversary blows his head off in front of you on his own initiative. Talk about never interrupt your enemy when he is making the mother of all mistakes…

The inevitable result of Trump's tariff war will be a severe disruption to the global supply chain.

As a nation who sits at the bottom end of the supply chain with its over consumption and reliance on imports for both consumer and business needs, such a disruption will lead to inflation and an economic recession.

To counter higher inflation and economic downturn, the Fed will have to raise interest rate and the government will increase spending to stimulate the economy.

As the US government spending already accounts for a quarter of GDP, higher interest payments and more expenditures will further increase deficit, forcing more debt borrowing and more deficits - a perfect vicious cycle.

The for-profit US military industrial complex will pile in to maximize costs.

As China currently spends less than 1.5% GDP on defense vis-a-vis 3.5% for the US and 2% global average, China can easily afford to up the ante and trigger further military spending from the US.

Just as the US bankrupted the USSR to win the Cold war, history is repeating itself and China will force the US to spend its way to defeat.

Hua Bin's perspective seems more likely to happen than not . . .

. . . given that President Trump has made no effort to come up with a coherent national plan to boost a substantial return of American manufacturing and its profitability.

For example, even the United States' vaunted war machine has been incapable of manufacturing the volume of artillery shells necessary to supply the Ukro-Nazi side of the Ukraine War.

The moral? — Orange Man Bad is (sadly) frittering away . . .

. . . his two death-escaping redemptions.

President Trump's supremely admirable resilience seems, unfortunately, to be his only genuinely worthy leadership quality.

The rest of Trump's character appears to be predominantly based upon willful ignorance and chaos-inducing, bellicosely displayed stupidity.

Witness, for example, Trump's asininely chosen 'pissed off at Putin' comment to the US press:

President Trump said he is “very angry” and “pissed off” at remarks Russian President Vladimir Putin made Friday about Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, suggesting he is not a legitimate leader.

The president threatened to slap a new tariff on Russia if it is at fault for stalling an end “to bloodshed.”

“If I feel, if we’re in the midst of a negotiation, you could say that I was very angry, pissed off, when Putin said yesterday that — you know, when Putin started getting into Zelensky’s credibility, because that’s not going in the right location, you understand?” Trump told NBC News’s Kristen Welker during a phone interview on Sunday.

What stands out (in this) is that Putin is legally correct regarding Zelensky's non-status. Meaning that Russia does, indeed, have a problem about whom to conclude peace with in Ukraine.

Despite knowing this — and having himself recently thrown irritating Nazi-Boy Zelensky out of the US White House — perpetually thin-skinned and narcissistically easily frustrated Trump just had to escalate international tension toward not reaching the very peace that Trump has repeatedly claimed he wants to achieve.

Trump acts as if he is a walking example of an emotionally childish ignoramus's self-sabotage.

Either that, or he is a partially camouflaged captive of the Neocon Oligarchy and has no interest in stopping the United States' perpetual warmongering.

The moral? — Is President Trump an example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect?

I find it darkly amusing that the United States would, knowingly, elect a president with dementia (Joe Biden). And then, in purported revolt, follow that guy up with another visibly inept head of state. One (in Trump) who already had a long record demonstrating belligerent, if sometimes entertaining, perceptible dumbassery.

These two sequential US presidencies serve as exhibits of intentionally chosen national self-destruction.

No country goes anywhere positive, by advancing its worst specimens into elite positions of power.
