Cool. Death to the us empire

Trump is not the reason for China's ascendancy and America's decline, he's just the (well paid and fully willing, ofc) scapegoat handpicked to supervise and sell the restructuring of America as a regional power, one that relies much more on local blood, sweat and tears than foreign, to Americans. Corruption killed the empire, and money folk with global interests are more than happy to manage the corpse because there's still money to be made from it, they don't care about their nation even if they were born there, because they don't care about people. The American capitalist overlords don't care where their slave base is as long as they can easily control it!

True, but it isn't said nearly as often as it needs to be. Look at all the retards thinking there is always same grant, genius plan behind everything he does.

wasnt this his plan? I recall him saying “ we dont need anything from: Canada, Europe, South America, China, Japan (except for their little cars). Everywhere except Russia. So lets give him what he wants. Shut the mouthy mercans out.

No, this is the childish behavior of sour grapes

I thought the promised plan of making things great again was returning to American isolationism. So seems to be going as planned.

Trump really was chosen by God to win the election as part of a larger divine plan to destroy the United States.
