First point of order, fuck China.
Second point of order, see the first point of order.
Ok now let's get down to brass tacks.
We don't ask China's permission when it comes to our military relations with Taiwan. China plans on taking Taiwan by force, and if Trump is a loyal American, that's not going to happen.
Whether Trump is a loyal American is a point in dispute.
So Trump jacked up tariffs on China. Fine. If anyone deserved exorbitant U.S. tariffs, it's China.
Now he's trying to make a trade deal to fix the trade crisis that he caused, rightly or wrongly. I say, in this case, probably rightly. But in any case, he caused this trade war crisis thingee with China.
Now China says, before we can make this trade deal, you gotta back off these high tech weapons sales to Taiwan.
What's the proper response?
"Hey China, why don't you go fuck yourself! We'll keep your tariffs as they are, or as high as I can legally assess them. (since I'm a dumbass and I just got my ass kicked by the Supreme Court that I myself appointed for violating the Constitution and federal law.), and sell Taiwan whatever the hell we want, including nukes if we damn well feel like it. Matter of fact, take the effing trade deal or we're selling Taiwan enough ICBMs, F22s, F35s, Ford-class carriers, and Virginia-class subs to wipe you off the effing planet.."
What does Trump do? "Hmm, ok, let me reconsider these weapon sales. Maybe instead we'll downgrade what military hardware we'll sell to Taiwan so we can get this trade deal done."
Like, what in the actual fuck..
