All the Bullshit coming out of Trump’s trade wars impacts the USA first and foremost.

Failed imperialism is still imperialism. Trump's trade wars are, quite nakedly by his own statements, meant to force other countries into a position of subservience to the US (and Trump himself). That they've failed because Trump doesn't understand jack about shit doesn't mean it wasn't an attempt to use economic coercion as a means of imperialism - it just means Trump et co are incompetent imperialists.
