After suffering a crushing defeat, Trump began a major cleanup in the White House. Almost none of those involved in the China-related decision-making process were spared. Trump's tariff war against China ended in complete and utter failure, which was very embarrassing for him. Trump is known for holding grudges, and he would never easily let it go. Indeed, after suffering this humiliating defeat, Trump started a major cleanup in the White House, focusing on the team responsible for formulating the tariff policies against China. It was reported that dozens of White House staff members were fired, and over 160 others were forced to take "administrative leave." Sources within the U.S. revealed that Trump was extremely angry. Although the Senior Director for Asian Affairs at the National Security Council, Evan Kanapaty, managed to keep his position, his entire team handling China affairs was essentially dismissed. The reasons given for dismissing these officials included disloyalty, unreasonable policy formulation, and responsibility for the failure of America's tariff war against China. Trump's cleanup action coincided with the U.S. government's efforts to improve efficiency. It was learned that the White House personnel who were laid off shed tears as they left, feeling deeply wronged and helpless. After losing their jobs, it would be quite difficult for them to find suitable new positions. Among those dismissed were some extreme anti-China individuals, making it even more challenging for them to secure future employment. Of course, many of those who were dismissed were scapegoats for Trump's flawed policies. In reality, no one could have avoided the fate of failure. From the very beginning, America's large-scale tariff war was a flawed decision, and its failure was inevitable.
