Trump played all his cards against China in his first term and Biden doubled down on them. They had 8 years to prepare.

Exactly, there's nothing US can do at this point short of starting a nuclear holocaust.

China is it the enviable position of not having to pretend that Trump is good for anything. He is a bad choice for a president, so why would anyone be afraid.

Edit: well, ok Ukraine and by extension Europe should be afraid or at least concerned. I would shit myself if I were a US citizen that is not a millionaire or wealthier tho.

Do not be alarmed. Democrats don't care about the working class, either.

It's why they would rather have 2 trump presidencies than 1 Bernie.
