I am really concerned about the future of USA.  It is very much looking like a super power falling apart.  In the case of Russia, USA took over as the sole super power.  For the most part, thigs actually worked better.  This time around, things are different.  It seems China is the obvious choice, but you can not call them super power, at least military wise.  I do not think, they rely too much on USA market as before.  USA has only about 4% of world population.  Key is Europe, India, and Japan.   If China offer them a good deal, they would rather deal with China than a crazy admin in USA.
2028 can not come fast enough.

With all the economical experts on hand in U.S, one wonder what the fuck, Trump is doing.  It is like letting a plumber, do a surgery on you.  Economy is a science, you can not do it with negotiation.   
He wants to end the U.S. trade deficit with tariffs. This is impossible—the only way to reduce the U.S. trade deficit is to bring U.S. savings in line with U.S. investment, which would occur, for example, if policies were enacted to balance federal, state, and local government deficits. So, not only are tariffs a futile avenue towards reducing the U.S. trade deficit, they risk eliminating two longstanding U.S. surpluses—its services and capital surpluses. In this trade war, any victory for the U.S. would be a Pyrrhic victory.
