A foreigner's amateurish assessment: to me many of Trump's actions at least try in spirit to increase the leverage of the American people.

Tariffs on other countries is exactly what my country did last century in order to foment national industry. It did produce results, including a national computer. I'm not exactly sure why it backfired when Trump did it.

If Trump's someone's asset, he's probably Israel's.
