I think it's worse than many think

67. China can cut the U.S. off at the knees if it wants to.

We need them more than they need us.

Imagine empty WalMarts, no replacement cell phones and other electronic toys, serious shortages of car parts, and lots of worthless financial instruments... problems familiar to other American nations, aside from Canada. At least we make toilet paper here, right? Right???

China and India have grown up. Each have a billion potential "consumers." And nukes.

Unfortunately the U.S. might go entirely bat shit crazy and isolationist at that point, which will be a very good time to leave this place, before Canada and Mexico start putting up walls and placing undocumented U.S. American immigrants in camps.

In the meantime, that sucking sound you hear is big money abandoning Trump states. Racism, misogyny, trickle down economics, homophobia, cannabis prohibitions, rotten schools, and other idiocies are bad for business.

More likely some real billionaire or entrenched national security person will punch Trump in the face and we'll get to spend four years speculating about the real power behind the throne. It won't be Pence or any of the knuckleheads Trump calls experts. It's not Trump's nature to surround himself with people who are smarter than he is.
