Trump wrote yesterday (Beijing Time December 9): "The greatest threat to the history of U.S. national security is the U.S. Supreme Court's adverse ruling on tariff issues. At that time, we will face an absolute financial threat. Now, Europe is preparing to impose tariffs on China, just like they have done with other countries. But we cannot act the same way as other countries!"
[Clever] Comment: Trump is clearly a deep-seated "China delusion" patient. He always mentions China, treating it as a universal "target" for his political manipulation. He is anxiously obsessed with tariff issues. The EU hasn't even decided to increase tariffs on China yet, but in his mouth, it becomes an established fact. He even uses this non-existent matter as a lever to pressure the U.S. Supreme Court. This kind of thinking is really bizarre. He claims that an adverse ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on tariffs would threaten national security and cause a fiscal crisis, which is nothing more than a cover-up for his trade protectionist actions.
