Yes, and that's why it's good.

He's not wrong. BRICS was a response to our hegemony. He's just politicizing it and making it look evil.

Brasil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. It makes sense for them to ally with one another.

BRICS acts against SWIFT.
SWIFT exploits all currencies by having every currency swap be traded in US dollars first
and every international transaction be tied to US servers.

Correct.

America wielding US dollar hegemony for 80 years to immiserate hundreds of millions of civilians and destroy democratically elected governments, nothing.

An alternative to US dollar hegemony develops in response to this economic terror, ThEy'rE eVil VillAins WhO mUst Be dEstrOyeD!

Trump is jealous, he doesn’t like competition

Well... now BRICS and Trump have something in common!

I say Trump acts against Americans, and both of our words don’t mean shit, so I guess we’re even.
