4. The gaping flaw in GOP’s so-called campaign strategy: Trump admires Xi & praises him constantly. He wants to do business w/ China. His trade war hurt US businesses & did nothing on the big econ issues w/ China. On March 27, he tweeted “Much respect!” to China’s leaders.

OMG trump supporters are so DUMB. Like China suppressed info, were completely inept by allowing travel to continue out of Wuhan, and now are sending faulty tests to EU and demanding those countries use Huawei 5G as payment. Hope Xi sees this bropic.twitter.com/38DonG2ZbX
