Seconded Trump did go all out with his Trump card, trade and tariff. But he can do so much more without playing this card to this extent. Fear is what motivates people, the ideal that China would subject to all around 25% tariffs would put Xi on the edge. But Trump actually just went and realized the consequences because he thought he could. Now the fear factor is gone. Surprisingly little had accomplished. Decoupling is sealed. CCP headliners had proved their view of US is always right and controls the narrative. And the means to further escalation on the table is war. Pretty unwitty and wasteful if you ask me.
