"... The Times highlighted a recent report from a Beijing think tank affiliated with Renmin University, which sardonically thanked the American president for having done so much to weaken his own country.
"The report called Trump an 'accelerator of American political decay,' with the U.S. sliding toward polarization, institutional dysfunction and even 'Latin American-style instability.'
"And consider the evidence: The Republican arrives in China not just as an erratic figure doing lasting harm to the United States’ global stature, but as a weakened leader at home. It is not lost on officials in Beijing that Trump is an unpopular president, struggling to deal with domestic economic tumult, a failed tariff agenda and an unnecessary war that hasn’t gone according to plan, and whose political party is likely to suffer significant losses in the fall.
"It’s not exactly a position of strength..." -- Steve Benen, MaddowBlog, on why the Chinese (and other rival nations) are quite happy that the easily manipulated moron Malignant Fascist is President. The election of the MF twice has often been described as national suicide, and the Chinese and others are only too happy to watch and smile.
