Hoo boy are you just loaded with confirmation bias.
None of the information you are referencing came from Trump. We've known about it just like everybody else for decades, the real contention is how it can be solved, if it can even be solved. Trump has done dick didley to solve it, and he hasn't actually proposed any legislation or action that would solve it. He wasn't the first one to identify the problem. He's used the problem that was already recognized but without a solution to create division. Again, Trump isn't somebody with special insight. He's grabbing things others have said and used it to construct an other.
Do you dispute that Democrats, mainstream media and most elites (not just liberal ones) denounced and decried his early efforts at (economically and strategically) containing China?
I agree that his approach is too short-sighted and that he has neither the intellectual capability nor the executive skills to pull this off by himself - but he's still the first American president in decades to take direct action against China instead of kowtowing to them. Obama, Bush Jr and Clinton afaik did fuckall on China.
