1. I'm going to do a quick thread on the Trump doctrine for his world interactions for lack of a better term. It's more of a strategy than a doctrine and it's a strategy based on Trump understanding reality instead of the media created world. This is just one part of it.
2. Most people don't understand Trump's strategy because they have swallowed the gaslighting of the media over the last 30 years. Trump hasn't swallowed the gaslighting.
3. Basically the fact is we are rich. Independently wealthy beyond measure. If you think of the rest of the world in basic economic class terms all the other countries except maybe 10 are poor to middle class.
4. You have maybe 10 that are considered wealthy (think millionaires)with only one other that could be considered very wealthy (China). China could be seen as a multimillionaire. However the USA is a multibillionaire. The only multibillionaire in the world.
5. Add in the fact that the millionaires and the multimillionaire owes their income to the multibillionaire USA.
6. However, due to gaslighting about how equal everyone is in the world as well as a failure to state this due to maybe wealth guilt most people in the USA don't know they are a citizen of the richest country in the world.
7. Trump knows this, he isn't embarrassed by it, he doesn't think we should give up our wealth because others aren't as wealthy. He looks at the rest of the countries as he looks at his business dealings. You don't allow the renters to set their rent. You set the rent.
8. You write the terms of the lease. They can take it or leave it. There are all kinds of countries out their that want to rent from us. He doesn't care if they are living in the street. His responsibility is to ensure his property is producing as much as possible.
9. Trump unlike the other modern president's not only knows we are rich he understands how to use that wealth to make us richer. He understands the power we have to force those that get their income from us to follow the leases.
10. Let's use some numbers to explain. Our GDP is about $20 trillion. If you take Japan + the entire middle East +Russia you only get to about half of our wealth. Russia's economy is about the size of Texas s economy. Germany's is about the size of CA. We have 48 other states.
11. The difference in wealth is that big. The other presidents emphasized our military might which is again is more powerful than most people understand.
12. Trump would rather use economic force instead of military force. He will use military force if needed but most problems can be solved economically.
13. So this explains his doctrine to a large degree. Economic force using our vast difference in wealth compared to the rest of the world married to the fact that the rest of the world's wealth is tied to the USA exonomy.
14. Cut them off from that USA market and their wealth disappears. Trump knows you don't have to bomb the hell out of them or send aircraft carries to get people thst rely on our economy to fall in line. You can just cut off the money.
