You are missing the point (granted it was subtle).

Oh, I get it. There’s no questions that our operation in Iran is working to the benefit of China, and perhaps to a lesser extent Russia. If I were China, high up on my wish list would be, “a situation where the US has vastly fewer missile interceptors to be able to send to Taiwan on a moments’ notice for the next few years.”

I just wouldn’t describe that as “Trump working for China.” He is certainly inadvertently helping. He is certainly taking actions heedlessly that will have the result of improving their geopolitical position. But I think suggesting that someone is “working for” another country suggests a level of intentionality that just isn’t there. Trump is far too narcissistic to be “really working for” anyone but himself.
