Everything Trump does benefits China and Russia. If the average murican had a clue who was profiting by their ignorance....  Well they probably wouldn't do a thing but keep fucking their own siblings.

I'm vaguely tempted to send this to a "libertarian" relative who voted for trump because "he's standing up to china"

I don't care if China benefits.

I just need hydrocarbons to lose to solar.
