Trump is rapidly destroying America's standing and security by cutting off foreign aid and tearing down our trade relationships.
Even if you reject the humanitarian/moral argument in support of such aid -- and we know such concerns hold to sway with anti-Christians knauzi -- this annihilates the soft power that has enabled the US to become the most powerful and prosperous country in the world. It took our country many decades to build that power, and it will take many decades to rebuild it -- if we ever get the chance, since China is enthusiastically stepping into that vacuum.
If China installed an actual partisan agent in the Oval Office, he couldn't do a better job of advancing Chinese interests than Trump is doing with actions like these. The tariffs he's going to announce tomorrow will also work directly to China's advantage.
