Ordinary citizens don't understand what their leaders are doing. Trump has been doing something important and great. Why do you think he has been trying to unite these countries? What strategic threat is this Asian NATO designed to address? Did you watch the interview Trump had the other day in the WH explaining why had to take on China economically and in other ways? He said and I quote: It has to be done. It's out of control. China is out of control. Endquote. Don't expect a Democratic president to meet up to this challenge, because when she prioritizes climate change and identity politics, she lends all the leverage to China. If Trump loses, China wins.
I disagree. That "narrative" is just another RW Scare Tactic just like "Vote for Trump or the Economy will tank".
