I find it interesting how so many people said world leaders don't take Trump seriously, which is clearly being shown to be so wrong. No US president has so quickly got major things done in such a short time, trust you can see that.
As far as US in a lot of trouble on many fronts, Trump is addressing many of those things quickly though I don't necessarily agree with all his methodology nor some of his policies. But he is taking an axe to the sheer waste in bureaucracy, legal overreach, absurd regulations especially for business, falling education standards, lousy health generally and the sickening trend of the Left towards the Western civilization, reinforced in the universities and naive arts community. China hasn't been impeded by these, even though it is the Left that so many people in the West now aspire to, kinda crazy uh.
Meanwhile China has its own significant problems, despite not having the above US challenges - population in decline and ageing is huge, as is their internal economy while exports will get chiseled away by Asian tigers and India. Let's also see how their Climate Change industries fare in the next few years.
In my view Democracy, with all its warts, is the biggest differential as so much better than Authoritarianism, not just for personal freedom but ultimately creativity and efficiency. Folk worrying about Nazi Trump are deluded, he's simply doing what needs to be done, even if it often seems ham-fisted - which most of the bewildered media remind us hourly. Let's see how it evolves.
