There is a historical and social context that must ground our understanding of the policy formations emanating from the Trump administration. And what is that context?

It is the denial on the part of elements in the Trump administration and the U.S. ruling class that the world has entered a transitional period where hegemonic power has shifted away from the U.S. and the “collective West.”

This detachment from reality has resulted in contradictory policies emanating from the Trump administration that have been both reckless and counterproductive to the interests of the U.S. desire to maintain global dominance. The overreliance on the use of coercive measures and various forms of state violence and subversion by the elements of the capitalist ruling class who represent the most aggressive elements of that class has failed to reverse the imperial decline accelerated over the last three administrations.
