Express support for Trump's approach to dealing with China and argue that it has the potential to shift the global balance of power away from a communist dictatorship. Defend Trump against accusations of stupidity.
Finally, China is getting signals it can't simply do whatever it wants and run roughshod over everyone. The approach of Trump is a little risky, but also has real potential for shifting the tide away from a communist dictatorship becoming the supreme power in the world. I think the Chinese have been laughing, a lot, about the strategic naivete of Western leadership for some time. I don't think they are laughing now. I think they are off balance. While that presents risks, it is an approach well worth carefully pursuing. Trump is not the stupid idiot so many think he is.
