You should stop psychoanalyzing Trump because it sounds like projection to everyone else.
You must not comprehend the threat I'm talking about. I'm talking about the survival of the
west in general and the USA in particular. No other authoritarian regime currently poses the existential threat China does.
For example, if the CCP knows you have said things against the CCP anywhere, anytime in your life, you can be prosecuted if you ever step foot in China.

This could be the long term state of affairs:
1. Europe continues its steep decline
2. The USA's economy collapses due to reliance on China and weakening of the dollar, in addition to way too much debt
3. China becomes financial world power and the renminbi becomes the world's reserve currency
4. Mandarin becomes the language everyone needs to know, as English loses it's influence.
5. China's AI advances further than anyone and they control the new "nukes", a super weapon that can destroy any nation.
Well you say the US currently has that position. This is true (without the super weapon, nukes notwhithstanding). But who would you prefer to be the nation in charge, the US or China?
