Hey Bill Ackman you got EXACTLY what you asked for. So shut the fuck up.

U.S. was headed for a “self-induced, economic nuclear winter,

Yes in part because you fucking supported that!! Piss off moron, and stop pretending like you actually care!!

Maybe, but this is as stupid as taking double chemo when you don't have cancer.

Poor woman!! Goddammit this really is as dystopian as they predicted in the movie Back to the Future 2.
Where Biff who is modelled on Trump becomes president.

Fuck Trump, and fuck everybody who voted for him, and everybody that is working with him.

Capitalism is not really a political system, it's an economic model embraced by basically all political systems except communism.
Almost every country on earth is capitalist in some way to some degree, even most communist systems.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism

characterized by private property ... wage labor,

All countries have private property and wage labor to some degree.

private ownership of the means of production

This characteristic has only been seriously challenged in communist systems, and while communist systems that do that have failed often, Capitalism remains by far the most successful economic model.

This may change at some point in the future, when work is no longer necessary.
But regulating capitalism according to political desires is the way to go (free market regulation). Currently abandoning capitalism is nothing but a pipedream.

That’s horse shit.

No it's not, The US and allies control WTO, and China was only allowed trade on WTO terms after they accepted to follow the WTO standards, basically designed by USA like for instance respecting copyright and patents. Chinese foreign trade was absolutely controlled by the "west", and American politicians have openly stated how they need to prevent China from expanding their influence. Which obviously regards both economy and politics.

Regarding Vietnam I've heard many places that Vietnam absolutely want to remain/increase independence from China, and they worry China has too much power in the region. So the phrase "In Asia, countries such as Vietnam hoped expanding trade with the U.S. would allow them to wriggle out from under Beijing’s thumb." Seems justified to me from what I've heard.

Of course they also want to remain on friendly terms with China, but they probably don't want to be too dependent on a single country.

Xi when he goes to bed at night:
Hehehe I'm winning, and all I have to do, is not to be a total idiot. Playing against Trump is like playing in super easy mode.

I think you mean MORE than 2.

Cool to see the grassroots are working together and are really moving now. And there are a lot of Americans that are fed up enough to actually do something.
IMO USA is a country split between good and evil, and the evil side has been winning way to many battles. Let's hope the tide is turning now.

If you consider Democrats left wing then yes, by far the most here are left wing, since by most European standards Democrats are clearly right wing.

Republicans are extreme right by most standards. Republican (MAGA) is basically an American version of AfD!
So by that standard I guess about 80% here are left wing, maybe even more?

Absolutely, he should be one of the first to go.

If you listen to Ted Cruz more, things will slowly begin to make sense, as you lose your sanity.

Russians are keeping at it, no sign of slowing down, no sign of Russia preparing their economy against collapse.
Funny that Trump tries to help Russia, and then he throws the world into economic slowdown with tariffs.
Just about the thing that can hurt Russia the most economically. Because oil prices will likely drop, and Russia still depend on oil exports.

So at least one good thing may come out of the insanity of Trump, it will accelerate the collapse of the Russian federation.
