I think it's interesting how he's threatening China about HK on one hand, but on the other hand being a lot more literal and aggressive towards his own people.

I think it's interesting how he's threatening China about HK on one hand, but on the other hand being a lot more literal and aggressive towards his own people.
He seems to be fairly aggressive against other countries:
> Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
> To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE
He sounds more like a super villain from a comic than a president.
He has never considered them "his own people."
I think he does not know how to handle the moves being made by China to advance its territorial claims in this chaotic moment. That would explain Donald's domestic diversions.
China is pushing outward toward Hong Kong and Taiwan, in simultaneous fashion. In the former, we have the national security law. In the latter, we have new and uncamouflaged threats that China will use military force in Taiwan if it cannot control the island peacefully.
If Trump keeps our attention away from the China problem, it won't affect the stock market and we won't focus on its impacts on the world economy.
Trump is just a big bully who loses courage when he gets pushback. Look at how nice he is to the North Korea guy while constantly bashing and demonizing other leaders of democratic countries.
IMHO, he's a closeted dictator and would really like to be in Xi's or Putin's shoes.
On the other hand, if he was indeed in their shoes he would have never made it and be deposed near instantly. The only place a Trump can thrive is in a democracy.
