The Donald and his trade policy.

There is a journal/magazine known as the Philadelphia Trumpet. 

In it, it voices that The Donald may apply trade policies that could upset the global order.

The most recent such event was the Wall Street Crash of 2007. It most certainly upset the global order.

However, what few know in the West is that it failed to derail the emerging economies. 

In fact, the result of the World Financial Collapse, a.k.a. the West's Financial Collapse, shifted power towards them.

It also resulted in a shift in their philosophical and attitudinal stance towards the West.

Once, on their knees, they kow-towed to the West as the exalted entities that knew everything about the mechanics of global trading, money flows and exchanges and world economics. 

Theirs was to follow the lead of the West in all things.

Now of course, this stance has been replaced by something very different. They know now that they must stand on their own two feet and think through how they can face the economic slings, arrows, cannon shot and whatever the West might deem fitting to hurl at them.

And that they must help each other to stand in spite of any bombs that may fall about them and stay afloat in spite of any tsunami the West can generate against them by their advanced mechanics.

Whatever the new policy The Donald may heap on them, I surmise it will not force the emerging nations on their knees.
