Wow. This man needs a lesson on how to deescalate a situation properly. Will this heavy handed approach really make people less angry? I doubt it..

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 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.
