As long as Trump and his friends get rich off it, I'm not sure anyone's being outsmarted, they are arriving at mutually beneficial outcomes.
I mean the dude is a moron -- a dog could outwit him -- and yet somehow 50% thought this was a good idea.
I'm not sure how much is outsmarting, as much as it is that the Trump administration is happy to make a big show and then sell out the US as long as he and his cronies get their cut.
There's an irony about the media (including the Times) screaming about Trump trying to fight China economically, and then the Times comes out with a piece about how China is getting everything they want from him?
Makes you wonder what side the Times is really on here.
Not long into Trump's second term I read that senior Chinese officials were calling him Orange Santa. I hope it's true.
