President Trump’s Friend

President Trump has promoted his reelection by reference to his friendship with leaders of totalitarian regimes. Thus his election saved us from war with North Korea and overtures to his “friend,” Xi Jinping, ruthless Maoist leader of the People’s Republic of China, was to lead to more favorable balance of trade with the PRC.

In light of the release of the Wuhan virus, President Trump realizes that he made a mistake and allowed  Peter Navarro to castigate Communist China. Given President Trump’s inclination to attack those who offend him, it will be interesting how far the President is willing to go in retaliation against Communist China.
