John X, Your ideas regarding the keeping the Truman doctrine regarding Taiwan is problematic because it expose the US to attack whenever Beijing finally decides it wants to conquer Taiwan. Repudiating the alliance would certainly expose Taiwan to invasion, but without the US alliance, a Chinese invasion of Taiwan wouldn't automatically mean a US vs China WW3. Regarding the possibility of trump walking back from proposed deportations, doing so would be a destabilizing factor in American internal stability because deportations would free up Jobs for Native-Born american use, and secondly would satiate nationalist and patriotic sentiments that caused his election in the first place thus stabilizing the US economy and American society.
