This morning Trump sent a big warning to China over next year’s election, telling them if they hold out on the trade deal for the election and he wins, the deal they get will be much worse than what he’s offering them now:
China is doing very badly, worst year in 27 – was supposed to start buying our agricultural product now – no signs that they are doing so. That is the problem with China, they just don’t come through. Our Economy has become MUCH larger than the Chinese Economy is last 3 years….

..My team is negotiating with them now, but they always change the deal in the end to their benefit. They should probably wait out our Election to see if we get one of the Democrat stiffs like Sleepy Joe. Then they could make a GREAT deal, like in past 30 years, and continue

…to ripoff the USA, even bigger and better than ever before. The problem with them waiting, however, is that if & when I win, the deal that they get will be much tougher than what we are negotiating now…or no deal at all. We have all the cards, our past leaders never got it!

It’s interesting that Trump admits that China is being far more stubborn than he anticipated. A rare admission from Trump?
With this morning’s warning Trump is clearly trying to push them toward a deal because he believes they are trying to wait out the election. But will they take the bait or will they take their chances with the election? With new reports of China actively trying to get Trump unelected, I’m guessing Beijing wants to take their chances.
