Maybe I woke up on the good side of the bed today, but I still think a lot of it is reversible - for sure by the next US elections. I personally think it’s actually reversible within 6 months from now, my gut feeling is Trump is running out of steam across the board. My initial prediction back in Feb was that he’d be off to Florida to fondle bimbos with plastic…everything…by July.
He is not a particularly smart, patient or strategic person, and the fates of his sycophants are tied to him. Also, don’t forget all the bigwigs in the inauguration ceremony, if they feel the pinch then he’ll feel the pinch.
Finally, other countries are pragmatic, they want to sell to the US. The only problem, and it’s a big one, is that China has a mental/emotional edge in my opinion, both in the political level and the individual person level. The characteristic of saving face and enduring adversity. I think the Americans simply don’t have that mental fortitude, so they’re going to be part of the pressure on politicians to unfck this.
