Or, of course impeachment. We are seeing Hong Kong protesters and China is exercizing their influence based on the increased violence from HK police. The level of reach China has is unprecedented, and only Trump is going balls to the wall to stop them, at least economically for now.
I wish I could say there are 20 other politicians who could lead the U.S and do the same, or even more than Trump is. Sadly, I cannot say this. Japan, Taiwan and others are in their sphere, and they have to know, Trump is the only guy with the courage to try and economically weaken China (which in turn, weakens their abilities obviously).
I'm starting to wonder if China isn't aware of the historic and cultural influence the West has on HK and wants this to end. Much like West Germany was an obvious place of liberty and opportunity based on capitalism and human rights, HK remains such an albatross for China. A place Mainland Chinese can say "we want to be more like them'.
So, I've made no reservations about my opinion of Communism. Does anyone see ANY replacement for Trump that would confront China as Trump has? Or are we honestly all fooked and relegated to a China Fist President if he were impeached?
