The Tariff War Is Not About China, per se - It's About the Deep State.

Part 1

Is Trump just slapping tariffs blindly? Or is he exposing a globalist scheme where China plays the front man and America's elite sellouts pull the strings behind the curtain? The Real War isn’t just with China - It’s with the Deep State that is enabling China's manipulation of the global economic system.

By Damian Fernandez

In this explosive deep dive, we unpack how the Trump administration is not just taking on China — it's taking on the entire Deep State apparatus that enabled China’s rise in the first place.

The United States is facing a critical inflection point — not simply because of China’s rise, but because of a much more insidious threat: an elite class within the U.S. itself that has sold out American sovereignty in the name of profit, power, and control. For years, China’s blatant manipulation of the global economic system has been tolerated, even encouraged, not because they are outsmarting the West, but because powerful actors in the U.S. establishment allowed — and in many cases, enabled — them to do so.

The Trump administration didn’t just call this out — it declared war on it.

A Game of Rigged Rules

China has never played fair. Its economic rise has been powered by forced technology transfers, state subsidies, intellectual property theft, currency manipulation, and a complete disregard for World Trade Organization (WTO) rules. Yet for decades, the response from Washington — under Democrats and establishment Republicans alike — has been meek, complicit, or worse: enthusiastic. Why?

Because this wasn't incompetence. It was intent.

As President Trump has repeatedly asserted, the elite — particularly those on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley — did not merely "turn a blind eye" to China’s bad behavior. They facilitated it, encouraged it and profited from it. They off-shored American jobs, outsourced production, and hollowed out the middle class in pursuit of cheap labor and inflated quarterly earnings. While Main Street bled, Wall Street thrived — and the globalist machine kept churning.

The Deep State’s Favorite Partner: The Chinese Communist Party

China didn’t act alone. Behind its strategic ascent lies a tangled web of multinational corporations, financial institutions, NGOs, and political power brokers — all operating under a unifying ideology: globalism.

This globalist cabal, often referred to as the “Deep State,” doesn’t operate from Beijing, but from boardrooms in Manhattan, think tanks in D.C., and summits in Davos. Figures like George Soros and Klaus Schwab have openly advocated for a “One World Government,” where national sovereignty is eroded in favor of centralized, technocratic control. In this vision, America — with its Constitution, its independent military, and its belief in individual liberty — is an obstacle. And that obstacle had to be dismantled, at all costs.

China, with its authoritarian system, compliant media, and command economy, represents the Deep State’s prototype of a controllable superpower. It’s not that China is particularly “smart” — it’s that it’s being used.

Biden and the Sellout Class

President Trump has been unequivocal in pointing the finger at Joe Biden and others like him who have, over decades, facilitated America’s decline. Biden, whose family business dealings in China have come under scrutiny, epitomizes the politician who helped deliver America into economic dependency. Under his leadership, the trade deficit has ballooned, inflation has surged, and the U.S. has doubled down on policies that weaken American manufacturing, energy independence, and national security.

Is this all just a coincidence? Or is it the logical consequence of a long-orchestrated plan to weaken America from within?

The Trade War Was Never Just About Tariffs

When Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, the media screamed about trade wars and economic ruin. What they didn’t say — what they refused to admit — is that this was the first real move in decades to hold China accountable. But more than that, it was a direct attack on the globalist pipeline that connected Beijing to Wall Street. Trump wasn’t just challenging a foreign adversary; he was cutting the Deep State’s lifeline.

And they hated him for it.

From day one, Trump has been up against relentless sabotage from intelligence agencies, media conglomerates, and political operatives embedded within his own government. Every policy designed to reassert American sovereignty was met with resistance not just from the Left, but from entrenched interests across the spectrum. And when all else failed, they tried to take him out — politically, legally, and perhaps even physically.

Assassination Attempts: A Pattern Worth Noticing

Those who think assassination attempts are the stuff of conspiracy theory should revisit American history. John F. Kennedy was murdered after challenging the CIA and the Federal Reserve. Ronald Reagan was shot months into his presidency after vowing to shrink government. Trump — who openly defies the same power structures — has had attempts made on his life, too.

Ask yourself: why does the Deep State fear this one man so much?

Because Trump is the first major political figure in decades to disrupt their agenda — not just rhetorically, but with action. He put America first. And for that, they want him gone.

What Happens If Trump Fails?

If Trump is taken out — politically or otherwise — the consequences could be irreversible. The Deep State will consolidate its control over every institution that matters: media, intelligence, tech, finance, and the military-industrial complex. The door will be wide open for China and other authoritarian regimes to dominate a world without American leadership.

America’s economic independence will be a thing of the past. The U.S. dollar’s dominance may collapse under ballooning debt and manipulated currencies. A generation of Americans may wake up one day to find their freedoms traded for digital IDs, programmable money, and permanent surveillance. The next president won’t just inherit a broken economy. They’ll inherit a broken republic.

That is what’s at stake.

Levelling the Playing Field Isn’t Isolationism — It’s Survival

Trump’s critics accuse him of “economic nationalism,” as if that were a dirty word. But what he’s doing is not radical — it’s rational. No nation can survive if it exports its jobs, outsources its defense, and imports its enemies. The push to restore American manufacturing, secure borders, rebuild the military, and hold foreign adversaries accountable isn’t xenophobia. It’s patriotism.

And it isn’t just good for America — it’s good for the world. A strong, independent United States is the greatest check on authoritarianism, be it from Beijing or Brussels. If the globalist elite succeed in weakening America, the alternative is not utopia. It is a new world order where unelected bureaucrats, technocrats, and oligarchs rule from the top down.

See the Bigger Picture

The media narrative paints China as a cunning rival and America as a blundering giant. But the truth is far darker: China is a weapon, not a mastermind. The masterminds sit in Western capitals, pulling strings, pushing policies, and shaping public opinion to fit their vision of a post-American world. China is the tool. The Deep State is the wielder.

Until people understand this — until they stop laughing off the term “Deep State” as tinfoil-hat nonsense — they will remain blind to the war being waged right in front of them. Those who laugh off terms like “Deep State” or “globalist agenda” do so at their own peril. This isn’t a conspiracy theory — it’s an observable trend, a repeatable pattern, and a growing consensus among thinkers brave enough to connect the dots. This isn’t just about trade deficits or interest rates. This is about who gets to rule: the people, or the elite.

Trump, whatever his flaws, is standing in their way. That’s why they fear him. That’s why they try to silence him. And that’s why they may yet try again to kill him.

This isn’t a battle between America and China. It’s a battle for the soul of the free world.

Coming Up in Part 2: Trump’s Actual Gambit.

If the Deep State’s plan hinges on China’s dominance in global trade, what happens when that dominance is shattered? What if the so-called “chaos” of Trump’s tariff war is actually a calculated strategy to realign the entire global trading order — not just for America, but for the world?

In Part 2, we’ll explore why Trump might be betting it all on a high-stakes global negotiation — and how breaking China’s supply chain grip could be the key to collapsing the Deep State’s dream of a One World Government.

Stay tuned — the real fireworks are just beginning.
