I agree. And considering sometime within the next 11 days they're going to impose something called the Insurrection Act and order soldiers to arrest or kill anyone demonstrating against them, it's rapidly becoming a 'by any means necessary' situation.

This is theater. Behind the scenes, there's very likely a lot of bargaining and negotiation going on so that Trump can declare "victory" in the coming hours or days, even though he won't actually win anything! Without Europe and the democratic world, Trump cannot win an economic war against China.
