Trump's new National Security Strategy blames everything on "others" (immigrants and those of color) and calls for the destruction of European liberal democracies. Why does this have a 1930s Mein Kampf vibe to it?

Lots of talk on business news media about tariffs, and the claim that they are meant to bring back manufacturing jobs to US soil. In addition to the questionable basis for this claim (read Paul Krugman) there is zero talk of the higher consumer prices this would lead to.

A passing Sat morning thought. Regarding all of the discussion of the econ system which was developed out of WW II which greatly benefited US econ interests - this system was also designed to prevent/reduce armed conflicts. Question: As DT destroys this system, are armed conflicts now more likely?
