so the left lost b/c they expect the president to not cause an issue with China and India before he's even in office and maybe take some advice on these things from experts beforehand? Got it!!

Republicans will have no opposition, no checks, no balances, so this and everything else Trump does will 100% fall on Trump and the Republican party.
No, everyone will have to live with it cuz you crazy folks insist on having a State.

Trump won because people got to the point of saying to hell with convention.

Reagan did not "win" the Cold War. Perestroika ruined the Soviet economy.

China and Russia are now growing in influence. By 1989, the Soviet Union was on its last legs.

We are heading towards a situation where none of the other countries will trust us. Our allies won't trust us and our enemies won't trust us either. Our allies will start to circumvent the US when it comes to various issues. We'll see more deals being created that cut the USA out entirely. We will no longer be a leader -- and China or Russia will step into the void Trump will create.

Most people know that Trump talks BS all the time and can't be trusted.

Because of course:

The Shanghaiist reported last month that Trump was eyeing a major real estate project in Taiwan that would involve the construction of several luxury hotels and resorts.

But why does that matter if we put America first? What impact will a stronger Sino-Russian axis have on consumer prices, gas prices, trade, manufacturing, finance, etc? I'm pretty sure foreign policy has absolutely no impact on the U.S. economy or anything like that.

The U.S. is a big country. We can trade with ourselves. We don't need the world.

Check any news site by now. And it begs the question, did this happen because Trump wants to open hotels in Taiwan?
