Is Trump the Manchurian Huckster?

Very interesting editorial from Thomas Friedman below.

Who benefits in the Pacific Economic Arena now that the United States has withdrawn from the Trans Pacific Partnership? China, of course, as they secure new trading alliances with those same nations.

Who benefits with President Trump's Back to the past environmental protection orders. China and other nations (like Germany) who will make an attempt to corner the renewable energy technology market.

Who benefits from President Trumps scaling back of foreign aid. Do we need to write the answer again?

In his eagerness to turn the clock back to the 1920's, the President is not making America great again. It is making China the number one economic superpower. Makes you wonder what side deal is being made since China has granted various name concessions, worth billions, to Trump businesses.

Is the President trying to enrich our country, or himself for the national golden parachute he and his cronies are going to get when they leave (voluntarily or involuntarily) office?
