Einar Tangen | Trump's Election Disaster: China Is Winning as America Falls Apart | Nov. 4, 2026

Description: 
Trump's political troubles are mounting, America's political landscape is shifting, and the consequences could reshape the global balance of power.

In this special post-November election episode of Silk and Steel, Carl Zha welcomes back returning guest Einar Tangen, Senior Fellow at CICG, to examine the political fallout in Washington and what it means for America, China, and the rest of the world.

The discussion explores how Trump's promises of peace and lower prices have collided with the realities of war, inflation, and growing public dissatisfaction. With Democrats gaining ground in the election, the question is no longer simply who won — but what happens next to Trump's presidency and the Republican Party.

As Washington becomes increasingly unpredictable, China may find itself in an increasingly advantageous position. While America alienates allies and struggles with domestic political divisions, China's economic stability, industrial capacity, and long-term planning could become increasingly attractive to countries looking for predictability.
