As much as republicans and democrats may want to steer it in certain directions, they can do sh!t without Trump agreeing to it.

As for the civilizational struggle, when was the last time China and the US had a true rapport - not just the US playing the China card vis-a-vis the Soviet Union?

I would be more worried about it if Trump is re-elected and by then he has little left to lose and may go on a rampage.
