Trump is oblivious to the fact that BRICS is now a bigger economy than the G7. The US is no longer an essential part of the global economy.
Increasing trade outside of the dollar is the only way countries can protect themselves from economic coercion by the US. In particular, China can obviously see that the US will go after them the same way they did with Russia. So, it would be suicide to agree to tie their global trade to the dollar.
Meanwhile, China also happens to be a bigger trade partner than the US for most of the world. So if it comes to choosing between the US and China, it’s not really much of a choice. Especially given that China exports things people actually need, while the US barely has any manufacturing industry left accounting for less than 15% of the overall economy. The US is a big market, but it’s not essential the way China is.
Why is he so determined to crash the USA economy?
It’s what Putin has instructed

While Elon destroys any safety nets.
Go at it blubber boy really fuck shit up. Demonstrate how to dismantle an economy in real time.
Set the leopards loose.

The US is about to have its own 1991 moment.
The US would instantly implode as the hogs start rioting because the slop faucet gets turned off.
Do it coward.
