Is Trump Going Soft on China?

[John Drake]

This was one of my big fears about Trump. I posted to AN about it several times. I think he's capable of doing a 180 on China. It's already happening with Tik Tok. Trump actually initiated the ban on Tik Tok but now says he has "a warm place in my heart" for it. Watch out for Trump trying for a Nixon Goes to China moment.

The way he talks about these authoritarian strongmen he sounds like a teenage girl fantasizing about the Prince Charming who will one day appear and sweep her off her feet.  It's a fetish.

Trump has already "Gone to China." 

"China spent over $5.5 million at Trump properties while he was in office, documents show", by Zachary Cohen and Kara Scannell, CNN - January 4, 2024 cnn.com

 

"Trump Organization plans second Saudi Arabian tower in regional expansion," by Pesha Magid December 12, 2024. reuters.com

"The Trump Organization plans to build a Trump Tower in the Saudi capital Riyadh as part of a real estate expansion in the region including in the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi" as per Eric Trump, the U.S. president-elect's son.

 

Trump has shown to foreign countries that he can be bought as POTUS.

You have all the presidents and recent memory he is perhaps the one who can most easily be bought and paid for after all it only requires the proper kind of compliment.

Bright enough to become POTUS.

 

 

Whatever that means.

As long as the Chinese Commies keep shoveling bribes and kickbacks to him he will be as soft as Grandma's feather bed. 😄
