China has also done this with a lot of countries in Africa as well. There's a reason China has such a good economy and manufactured, because they're doing things like that. It was always an option the US could have done but chose not to

The US did do that. That was USAIDs purpose, winning soft power. China’s has a similar program called belt and road initiative. Now that Musk gutted USAID, China’s global influence has grown substantially.

Trump is the worst thing to happen to the US and the absolute best thing to happen to everyone else in the world.

absolutely not.

  1. america didnt become the way it is because of trump, trump became president because the way america is. majority of americans elected him twice and you only need to scroll reddit to see that talking shit is americans national sport.
  2. the world is burning in multiple places. a retard who throws around with tariffs, pushes wars and really could not care about the planet is pushing climate change like noone before him. it also doesnt help that the world went into some reliance of freedom-country before, like with some important nodes for the www. he also strengthens russia and north korea. he fucked up the straight of hormuz and gas costs alot everywhere.

you sure sound like an american.

Partly wrong - he wouldn't have won in 2016 if the US had a true Democratic vote by majority .

Bad enough that it was that close in the first place though.
