Who is "others"? Who is "aggregate"? You're being vague because your idea doesn't make any sense.

Let's be clear:

1) Trump very clearly - very obviously - cares a lot about broad US economic performance compared to China.

2) This is at odds with his desire for unlimited power within the US, because corruption and oppression doesn't do very well economically.

That's why it's stupid - it doesn't serve its own goals. One of those two has to give.

He and his voters don't understand "Woke" is great for the modern economy. You want everyone working at their absolute full potential. Slaves don't invent chips, corruption drives away business investment, etc. It's very simple to understand if you're not a racist, but the South has been stuck on this point for generations.
