The Chinese can't believe their good luck. No need for them to do anything -- just let the US self-destruct.
They don't. It was always a lie. The want to make their own lives great(er) at the expense of the rest of the human species.
Way too many people were somehow conned by an expert conman who had previously conned them. Short memories and wishful thinking is a dangerous combo.
Once the propagandist has convinced their target of the other's inherent malevolence, the target will no longer seek to understand the perspective of the dreaded other. Their every statement will be viewed with suspicion.
They only say they want to make their country great, the tricky devils!
But I have a different theory. I think that in this case, the propagandists are trying to convince the other of their own inherent malevolence.
Not to say liberal media doesn’t try to do this, but let’s be honest? Trump is a world’s better marketer than the folks at MSNBC.
And I think he thinks it is useful to be so extreme that it also creates that divisiveness. Like as objectively as I try to look at Trump, I think he intentionally obfuscates his intentions to increase divisiveness.
No, stupid people are easier to herd. That's all there is to it.
Remember that Trump only turned to the Republican party after trying everything else first.
