That is what they have brainwashed you to believe. There isn’t a single thing that common sense can’t handle. The greatest lie people tell us that politics is complicated, it isn’t. I could easily run this economy, and I didn’t even go to college for that.

Oh okay. In a few words or less, describe your solution to China's economic warfare strategy of under-appreciating the yuan, artificially reducing global interest rates and creating perverse incentives for unsustainable debt accumulation in the United States, especially as it relates to their goal of replacing the dollar as the global reserve currency -- and explain why it matters. Bonus points if you use the phrase "Triffin dilemma" in your answer.

Super easy, sanction and don’t deal with them. I wouldn’t negotiate trade with a hostile regime. In fact my first order would be to bring back all pharma manufacturing the second I got power. They need our money, we are fully capable of not dealing with them. Don’t allow any nations you deal with to deal with them either.

Yeah that just happened and the issue hasn't gone away. We sanction them, they sanction us, they keep trying to take over the world. When you're dealing with people trying to swindle your nation out of economic hegemony, "common sense" can be a trap.

when I get power I could easily run this economy

You've got moxie, I'll give you that.

It did not just happen. We continued to trade with them. Cut off corporations, and don’t take a single thing from them
