Could Trump's plan fail in a spectacular fashion?

No, you and most US presidents before Trump grossly underestimated the importance of the US economy and the strength and depth of the US economy and its role in the world.

 

Trump, the first billionaire president, fully understands the importance of the US economy. He knows that the US is more important to China, Germany, Japan, UK, etc than vice versa, because the US is the stronger domestic market, the more valuable market. This means that the US can in fact restructure market access to its own advantage.

 

America is now benefitting from tariffs that will result in people in the end having to buy US made products because they are much cheaper. This will protect more jobs and create more jobs in the US, not to mention the money the tariffs will send to US coffers.

 

If some large corporations lose money because of this market access restructuring - too bad, but it is a price worth paying in the long run because America will become richer even if some companies fail.

Hmm, so the USA became the richest country, depended on by these other countries by being abused? These other countries have taken advantage of the USA under policies since WW II that resulted in US corporations making profits from their global trade while being abused and taken advantage of by all others through international trade. Right ... got it ... wait, what?!

Not anymore. Trump has singlehandedly destroyed the US brand.

Agree, although I think for most of the global, thinking population, credit is at least being considered to be given where it is due. The American voting citizens raised him to be their leader (voting American citizens who voted for him. more thoughtful global citizens will recognized that the other candidates shared the majority of the votes).
