President Trump announced that his administration will be sending $1,776 'warrior dividend' checks to US service members before Christmas, citing his tariffs as the source of funding. The move is part of Trump's effort to boost affordability and reclaim the issue from Democrats, who swept off-year elections last month on a message about the rising cost of living. The checks are themed around the nation's founding in 1776. However, the legal authority for the checks is unclear, and Trump's use of tariffs to fund them may face challenges in Congress and the Supreme Court.

The article analyzes President Trump's 18-minute address to the nation, highlighting six key takeaways. Trump's speech was characterized by a combative tone, exaggerations, and misleading statements. He defended his accomplishments in the first year of his presidency and argued that the 'Golden Age' he promised was taking shape. However, his message was overshadowed by his angry tone, which seemed to belie his recognition that he was under pressure to show results quickly. The article also notes that Trump made highly selective use of statistics, risked repeating former President Biden's mistake of arguing with voters about their feelings, and promised unrealistic solutions such as sending 'warrior' checks to military personnel and a one-time $2,000 check to all Americans below a certain income level. Additionally, Trump's reliance on tariffs may be blocked by the Supreme Court, posing a significant risk to his agenda.

The article discusses the growing confidence of China and its perception of the United States as being in decline. China's recent achievements, such as the opening of the world's tallest bridge, have been met with admiration from abroad and have contributed to a narrative of Chinese competence. Meanwhile, the US has taken a more defeatist tone, with President Trump's national security strategy framing China as a 'near peer' and downplaying the geopolitical rivalry between the two nations. This has led to concerns that the US is internalizing a Beijing-driven narrative of its own decline, and that the gap in superpower perception could destabilize US-China relations.
