ANGUS: The Fall of the American Empire
Posted: Sun May 17, 2026 8:08 amANGUS: The Fall of the American Empire
Charlie Angus / The Resistance - May 17, 2026
EXCERPT: "Donald Trump badly needed a win in China.
He wanted to show the American people the power of the Don-Roe doctrine, where the top dogs carve up the rest of the world. It is foreign policy for gangsters.
But the Chinese weren’t willing to play along.
President Xi alluded to the United States as a nation in decline, and Trump was forced to put out a face-saving tweet explaining that the decline was a reference to “Sleepy Joe” Biden, not him.
Totally embarrassing.
Trump went to China hoping they would help him end the catastrophic crisis that he caused in the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, the Chinese warned Trump not to mess with their interests in Taiwan.
The United States - and its ally Israel - have never been so isolated.
We are watching the twilight of the American empire. . . . "
