What the good professor does not address is that not all countries are trying to play a 'fair game' with the US. When times like those happen, as are happening now, you need a more one-sided negotiating approach.
This is what Trump represents. We don't want him forever, we just want him to swing the pendulum back in the US's favor for a few years to balance things out.
Then we can go back to giving little chunks away in the name of progressivism until the pendulum is out of wack again (probably about 12 years post Trump) and the next Trump will be elected to swing it back to the middle.
This isn't a bad thing. This is how progress gets made over the long cycle of time.

No one believes your bullshit anymore
