This was the outcome of end of the American Hegemony. Trump is the respond to this fall.

"Trump is a symptom, not a cause." I continue to this day have to repeat this to even some of my communist friends. The number of people in this country that think everything will be ok if we just the bad orange man out of the office is disheartening. This is a inevitable fall of an empire. There would always have been a Trump. If our Trump didn't exist, there would be a different one. The faces may change but the cards would be the same.

    In his first time, Statesian bourgeoisie waged Trade Wars against China but it backfired. right now they're pulling up the big guns... 19th century's naked imperialism. It's so obvious that capitalist world order can't be sustained under US being the global police. They can't keep open the strait of Hormuz and doesn't wanna get involved in Yemen. They tried to expand to the East but Russia was organized in time to respond it in Ukraine. Trump found himself in this contradiction; he will attack to the enemy but he will hurt himself more than the enemy. Gas and diesel prices skyrocketed when they reach the "victory". Trump career will be summarized by this "The more he won, the closer he got to losing".

    This contradiction comes from US trade economic relations with the world. They moved their factories outside the crush labor movement at the home. As long as, no one challenge their hegemony they were secure. In order to keep capitalist world order they had to expand to wherever they can. Ukraine War started the decline of the American Empire. It shows that this is the limit of American Empire.
