Strategic Blunder! How a confused nation of people cost the White House

Trump doesn’t know what to think of the ‘Vietnamese’ because they, in their own confusion, have misled him. Let me explain.

So you have the Vietnamese demographic in the United States. This diaspora, pre-2010, likely fled the war and is ‘Vietnamese nationalist’ but anti-communist.

Then you have those in the country of Vietnam that liked Trump that are anti-China but nationalist-communist.

Follow me.

It’s hilarious.

So when Trump went in on China in the first term, the entire diaspora of Vietnamese cheered for it. The American Vietnamese for their anti-communist stance and Socialist Republic of Vietnam for the inflows of trade and FDI they would get.

This year, through basic common sense, the White House examined the trade situation and realized Vietnam wasn’t playing fair. It imposed tariffs—tariffs that should never have been removed in the first place.

The entire Vietnamese diaspora was stunned. It exposed the uncomfortable truth: for all the things they were told to oppose—like China—they were, in fact, deeply intertwined with China economically. Their entire system mirrors China’s in many ways, and the only reason people fail to see it is because Vietnam is simply much smaller.

So not only did it single-handedly end the disputes in the South China Sea. It made the entire diaspora of Vietnamese realize they really are communists or nationalist or sympathizers to the system that enables communism with direct links to China.

Therefore, when the communist government of Vietnam came calling with a 0% offer (deceptively), it began to expose more of its system, which is to trade with China to gain a surplus from the US from aid and things like USAID and EXIMBANK.

When the administration wanted more, and rightfully so.

They invite Xi and are spending 90 days of patriotism and mobilization.

The whole world and the White House had assumed that Vietnam and the Vietnamese were really a partner or ally with the West. What the trade war has done was reaffirmed their allegiance to China.

LMAO!
