We should have done it sooner to prevent the Chinese takeover in
Canada, but it's too late.

At least we stopped the Chinese take over of the U.S. For now, at least.

But China has already overextended itself and is having plenty of financial difficulties. They are in the late state of the normal communist collapse.

10 minutes later the EU announced a deal. Just 10 minutes prior the EU and Denmark were talking Sh!t.

I am shocked at how calm and cool he is when negotiating.

The U.S. has all the leverage. The E.U. economy is stagnate. If the U.S. puts higher tariffs on their stuff, they lose - and lose big.

What would happen if their economy collapsed? I think the worst that could happen to them is they lose a bunch of money, and take it out on other people afterwards. But I'd expect them to bounce back.

It's at a point now where I think the result would be like the "opium war" or "Boxer Rebellion" that China had back in the late 1800's (not the 1966 Cultural Revolution).

This war was primarily against the West selling opium in China, but they expanded to a complete rejection of **all** "western" things and a return to the "old" Chinese way of doing things.

That sounds responsible (not getting to that point, but to return to old ways.)

Globalism was never a good idea. Selling stuff to people in other countries who want what you've got a surplus of sounds good, but it leads to other problems. Seclusion is the way to go.

Seclusion is only an option for a short period when other countries want to take advantage of you.

We are on a "shrinking" planet and seclusion won't work in the long term.

But China was always big on central control, which leads to Socialism, which always leads to Totalitarianism and then collapse because none of those things ever works.

China is in the late stages of this.

Maybe in 2028, Trump can take over China. :)

On 24 Jan 2026, Ron L. said the following...

The U.S. has all the leverage. The E.U. economy is stagnate. If the
U.S. puts higher tariffs on their stuff, they lose - and lose big.

I think this tariff concept is a great one. I heard one of the financial experts who was there during oral arguments... He spoke to the court as well.

He said, and the court agreed, that Trump could suspend trade with an adversary but he couldn't take any steps in between?? Such as tariffs??

I think the courts will rule in Daddy's favor.

There is no evidence that Trump has acted outside of the people's favor.
