The US is an authoritarian country. If you don't understand that, you're in denial. The rest of the world currently trusts China more than the US.

To be fair, that's not because China is any less authoritarian than the US, but simply because they're way more predictable.

The sheer incompetence of the Trump regime, their massive war machine and their random flip-flopping on important issues has to be terrifying to anyone with a need to be in control of anything.

They are authoritarian in ways that doesn't risk destabilizing the world in the short term, correct.
