Trump's betrayal of American greatness
President Trump wanted to make China central to the 2020 campaign. Congratulations, Mr. President. You’ll get your wish.
Trump’s begging Chinese dictator Xi Jinping to help him win reelection and his praise for Xi’s detention of 1 million Muslim Uighurs in indoctrination and forced-labor camps are the most shocking revelations in former national security adviser John Bolton’s new book.
This information is important not just because it demonstrates that Trump’s “tough on China” rhetoric is hypocritical or confirms that Trump’s only foreign policy concern is to get other countries to advance his personal interests.
These revelations matter because they show that the very heart of Trump’s appeal — to “Make America Great Again” by putting “America First” — is a lie all the way down. The paltry crowd he drew to his Saturday rally in Tulsa suggests that a spirit of doubt is taking hold even in his onetime strongholds.
