I personally believe the politicians and elite have sold us out and we will end up submitting to China without the need for a "hot war". Note that the only president who attempted to challenge China was tarred and feathered to hell and back.

Nothing trump did China wise ever made up for this disastrous failure, and all of his tariffs hurt Americans even more than they bothered China.
1. We are deadlocked by domestic politics and our populous are divided.
2. We are completely dependent on China for critical goods and supply chain.
3. We are beholden to China via corporate and political interests.
Unless these things can be turned around, and I believe it is impossible at this stage, we will succumb to the Chinese in the next decade or so.
If you're speaking of the most recent one though, he personally has some rather large outstanding personal debt to China, and his mainland nickname known to the Chinese is quite literally "Nation Builder" I'll give you a hint - they aren't talking about the U.S. that he's building.

Actions speak louder than words, something that nobody seems to keep in mind anymore...
You are however correct in the fact that politicians and companies across the board have sold us out to China in the name of profit. At least we have Matt Parker and Trey Stone, right?
You're very seriously completely missing a major point.
No, literally everything Trump did was helpful to China.
Like, a lot
Sorry if the stream of whatever garbage you expose yourself to in order to shape your view of the world has conditioned you to believe otherwise. For what it's worth, everybody with your line of thinking, that that administration was "hard on China", is just another reason the article is correct and why China is going to make the US look like a complete joke this century.
But keep saying Orange man very hard on Jhyyynna if it makes you feel better during your time on Earth.
