Yeah, I think China is too smart to fall for this desperate Trump tactic. I suspect he set this up in the hopes it would result in some sort of hot, headline grabbing event that in his sick mind he could somehow parlay into a power grab allowing him to keep the presidency. The guy is sick; he's mentally ill. I'm sure of that. What disturbs me is that such a mentally ill person can somehow manage to get so many people to vote for him.

I am in favor of some of the Trump administration policies, including some of those regarding China, but there's no denying that Trump is mentally ill. I could reference this recent article: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/11/23/trump-mentally-unfit-president-column... But I don't think that's necessary.
