Trump Is Turning Out to Be a Very Pro-China President

Wednesday, February 05, 2025

Nahal Toosi: If you can spare any sympathy these days, spare some for the people tasked with writing President Donald Trump's national security strategy. They probably sought the job thinking, "I'll help America take on China." Instead, Trump has started his second term looking like the U.S. president Beijing has long wanted.

As China continues to give money and projects to countries to gain influence, we are shutting down our agencies that do that. China is eating our lunch and Trump is the reason. Sorry folks, if you don't see it you don't understand how the world works. Period

Of course he is.... China makes all the cheap junk he and his family sells for 1000% markups.

And they have all the best kinds of citizen surveillance tools he's going to need at cheap prices, too!

Donald is frightened of China. China has promised money to Donald.

The Chinese know how to handle worms.

"China Called His Bluff and Trumpanzee Caved"

is a more apt headline.

China tolerates billionaire bluster so far... then they are sent to re-education golf vaycay like they did with Jack Ma when he started mouthing off.

Settled him right down.

Besides what can Trumpanzee do to them?

The Chinese learned long ago how to handle the greedy and loathsome barbarians outside of the Middle Kingdom. Lessons learned, rather quickly. Trump is not a big problem for them: he's vain, dumb, and venal. Great material they can work with.

There's always the Trudeau/Sheinbaum Treatment.

Xi must be quivering in his boots.
