At this stage nothing should shock us.

We live in an age of post-rational politics. Trump certainly didn't start it but he brought it to the highest level of American politics.

Malignant narcissists like Trump have no limits.

There is only one thing right about Trump's politics and that is focusing on China as the main adversary for the future. The power of China is growing and it is not smoke and mirrors like what's left of Russia's power. China is a dictatorship and the Chinese are an unscrupulous lot in business and politics.
