No offense comrade but this reads like a MAGA fever dream. It's all wildly unrealistic and detached from the realm of what is possible in reality given how international trade actually works. It also vastly overestimates the US's capabilities. The Europeans couldn't even properly decouple their energy from Russia, but the US is going to decouple from China? Lol. No. Not happening. You don't just rebuild entire industries and supply chains overnight. If the economy crashes it's not going to be a magic ticket to re-industrialization, it's going to be complete pandemonium and things will spiral very badly, very fast. This isn't some 5D chess move, it's a bluff with a very mediocre hand.
