To quote the author:
"Trump’s vision of a desirable international economic order may be violently different from mine, but that gives none of us a licence to underestimate its solidity and purpose — as most centrists do."
The author is deluded in thinking countries Trump is in the process of actively creating trade and kinetic war with are going to be bullied into co-operating with economic policies that directly strengthen the bully.
This article might appease some American readers hoping for a bit of rhyme or reason, or who are looking for a reason to hope the decline of the dollar as global reserve currency might be suspended, but it is about as wildly far from reality as Trump/Musk are.
There is a reality where what Trump is doing would work, and that would be at least 30 years ago. Now though, at least to me, it seems like it is too late to stop the rise of China and the rise of multipolarism. Sometimes I think the US intentionally allowed Israel to commit a genocide just to remind the rest of the world it can do whatever it wants and it can ignore international laws and no one can hold it accountable.
It is okay to post and read articles you don't necessarily agree with. Just so that you have a wider context and point of view on things, and to not be caught off guard when the unexpected and unlikely happens. The improbable is still possible.
