According to the Global Times report, after the Trump administration suspended a $2.2 billion grant to Harvard University, former US President Obama praised Harvard University's resistance to the White House and expressed hope that other institutions could follow suit.

After Trump took office, a noticeable situation was that the big shots of the Democratic Party became silent, with almost no one coming out to oppose Trump. They were afraid of being retaliated against by Trump.

However, in recent days, Democrats have become increasingly active, making appearances either through speeches or interviews.

In addition to Obama, Biden, Yellen, Blinken, and others have also come out.

This is clearly not coincidental but because Democrats see an opportunity, so they have come out one after another to attack Trump.

Former US President Obama

The Opportunity Created by China

This opportunity is related to China. By initiating an economic war, China has taken a series of strong countermeasures, forcing Trump to repeatedly retreat and revise his policies, but China remains unmoved.

This has made the world see Trump's outward strength and inner weakness, which Americans can naturally see as well.

So Blinken came out first, criticized Trump, and stated that China holds real cards.

Subsequently, Yellen also said that Trump should take the first step to negotiate with China.

These two mentioned China and expressed pro-China remarks, indicating that China's countermeasures gave them a whiff of an opportunity to resist Trump from within.

Then came Biden's speech and Obama's public statement.

Blinken and Yellen

Globalization Is the Foundation of the Democratic Party

In fact, before this, Trump didn't accomplish much, whether it was the Ukraine conflict or the Middle East conflict; Trump solved no problems. At that time, Democrats didn't come out to oppose Trump because Trump hadn't touched the core interests of the Democratic Party.

Now that Trump has initiated an economic war and promoted deglobalization, Democrats can't remain indifferent because the foundation of the Democratic Party is built on globalization, meaning that supporters of the Democratic Party are generally beneficiaries of globalization.

Therefore, they not only spoke out but some even showed a "pro-China" tendency. Such tendencies would definitely not be revealed during their term in office.

US President Trump

Mutual Restraint

Why do Western media generally look down on Trump and believe that Trump will surely fail? On one hand, it's because Trump is acting contrary to common sense, and on the other hand, it's because the United States is not united internally.

One is the struggle between the Democratic and Republican parties, and the other is the internal struggle within Trump's cabinet.

According to reports by The New York Times, when Trump initiated an economic war, there was no consensus on China policy within the White House. Now Democrats even express pro-China remarks, indicating that Trump is not only isolated internationally but also domestically.

This dilemma inside and outside has completely collapsed Trump's tough guy image.

Originally, due to Trump's strong victory in last year's election and the high tide of the MAGA movement, the Democrats' approval rating dropped to 30%, giving the impression of being close to collapse.

However, within less than three months of Trump taking office, the situation began to reverse, allowing Democrats to find an opportunity.

It must be said that the election mechanism that American politicians take pride in is completely a joke. In fact, the logic is to rely on peer comparison. The opposition party doesn't need to change anything; they just need to wait for the ruling party to dig its own grave.
