The country is divided over the latest round of impeachment trials.\u00a0 Now the center of focus of those very impeachment trials — Donald Trump — somehow has to use the upcoming State of the Union address to unify the country.\u00a0 Could the best trick be to galvanize everyone around a hated, foreign enemy?<\/p>\n

According to BetOnline.ag<\/a> — that may be Trump’s play.<\/p>\n

As China has usurped America as the world’s leading economy and have thus ended America’s unipolar moment, the Chinese have now become the capital O Other in the American political lexicon.<\/p>\n

BetOnline.ag has a series of prop bets out for the upcoming State of the Union, and they are telling.\u00a0 China is by far the favorite as the first country mentioned by Trump (-175), is set at an over\/under of 6.5 the amount of times the country is mentioned, and it’s Coronavirus is overwhelmingly expected to be mentioned (-500.)<\/p>\n

Having a common enemy is one of the most common tactics utilized by demagogues — a tactic mentioned and frowned upon by Thucydides — the original historian who was looked so highly upon by the President’s initial cabinet.\u00a0 This seems like the likely maneuver Trump will utilize, and the wiseguys certainly agree.<\/p>\n

Do you? If so, one can bet on this week’s SOU at BetOnline.ag with scores of other prop bets<\/a> that are not China-related as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
