“But soon, everyone will get wiser and…when they unite, Trump will be unable to continue his shake down operations.”

Pray tell, how soon is soon? China has and is the only country tossing it back at him, as he [sadly] bestrides the world.

To wit, look at the ‘summit’ at Sharm el Sheikh. All the world leaders flown in as backdrop props..That alone tells us who’s [again, sadly] calling the shots.

If indeed they do unite, I’m not yet convinced it will have legs.

But happy to be convinced otherwise..

You’re right that china has trump’s number. Aside from Canada, no one else has stood up to him. But Brazil and India ave started to look elsewhere. Once the cost of trump’s shake downs become real for Japan and the EU, my guess is they will too.
