I think you are close here to what may happen. I believe Trump is looking 20 years out. He sees the forthcoming economic disasters as the world tries to destroy the USA. IMHO, that is why he is trying to set up a unified North American Union to counter the global efforts. Could it be he sees the NAU becoming an economically independent entity that will tell the rest of the world to fuck off? Does he see this as a defense against the BRICS+ crowd?
Uh-oh, first he has to figure out what Canada and Mexico want to do with BRICS+. Europe too.
Old news. “While the global financial crisis permanently reduced the speed of globalization, the world economy went into the COVID-19 crisis already with largely stagnant global trade volumes. The pattern of regionalization which now appears in the latest trade statistics enriches the debate and offers researchers new metrics to quantify the scope of regionalization.”
Economic disparity is an issue that needs to be addressed, and regionalization can amount to efficiency, with the potential to be beneficial in this regard.
Would you agree that the existing format for life is no longer efficient, and that technology should be utilized to husband the world's resources?
My read is that Trump is focused on dealing with the major issues, with the ultimate goal of peace and prosperity for all.
So, what is the problem? Is my read incorrect, or is the problem as Ray Dalio described, that various factions are vying for power with the goal of getting to impose their version of a new format for life on the citizens of the world?

To some extent, "stagnant global trade volumes" merely reflected market saturation.
Regionalization and efficiency are a fit with "You will own nothing and be happy", are they not?
I can own my region [ measured in square feet ] and practice efficiency [ in providing for my own needs ] without false authorities trying to “hep me”.
Just a comment. SD.

We are being moved from globalism to regionalism, now that the tech is spread around.
Lugh or Phil, I do not remember which, talks about the Ten Kingdoms of the world developing. I think that is what is happening.
