> This will hurt Europe a lot more than it will hurt America.

It will hurt Europe a lot. But Donald Trump keeps repeating that it is going to declare war on the EU. Sadly, it makes sense for the EU to align more closely with China.

And yeah, the only winners from the Trump administration so far are the mega-rich, Russia and China. At the expense of strictly everybody else.





While at the same time going to war with Russia, a China ally and supporting an independent Taiwan?

Taiwan is more of an American concern. China could be persaded to rein in Russia if they gain Europe from the US' sphere

I guess some people hate Trump so much that they will embrace China, cut off relations with the US, and trash their economy regardless of geopolitics.

I mean, yeah, if a country declares war on us (or claims that it's going to do so) and does its best to trash our economy, we will embrace whichever allies we can find, cut off relations with the country that has declared war, and our economy will be trashed.

And yeah, we'll probably hate the leader who took the decision.

Not sure what your point is.
