Because trump views ties as weakness. He thinks isolationism is strength. The exact opposite is true - our ties and treaties, both hard and soft power - have ensured American strength for a century.
Trump is going to set all that ablaze because he can’t think further than his own experience: fuck everyone else to get ahead.
They’re not doing it on purpose. The people currently making these decisions do not understand the government, what it does, why it is powerful, where the money comes from, etc. It’s like someone stripping the copper wiring out of their own house.
I don’t know, the American Empire basically exists to serve billionaires like him, I don’t see how a Chinese takeover would serve them, as they just disappear billionaires if they don’t get in line.
I guess they just want to turn the USA into what Russia is now, but even there you really don’t want to get on Putin’s bad side or you lose everything. It’s honestly very irrational IMHO, as the US has the right mix of opportunity and lack of any personal risk for the wealthy. They want to turn the US into a crime ridden shithole where they’re beholden to the whims of Trump or whomever follows him.
Why do you think they would be keen to release power to China? Economics?

Maybe too stupid to realise that they’re doing that.
I think they are taking bribes
Trump is keen on doing it because he’s being told to do it by the people who control him.
Russia and China are allies and in BRICKS. Russia paid for Trump to get elected twice.

This may be the best description of the Trump presidencies I’ve ever read.

Each of them personally wants to be Putin and cannot comprehend the idea that they won’t be at the top of the pile when the ashes fall.
