    Remember how China’s CCP keeps trying to have its way by using threats to bully other nations into submission and all it does is rally everyone against them instead? Watch the world turn its back to the US even faster now.

      Yup. The first Trump presidency is why North Korea is blowing up roads and sending weapons and military units to Russia. Just read the open letter Kim Jong-Un sent to Trump after their Infamous meeting. Kim essentially called Trump a lier and that Kim wouldn’t be made the fool again. Trump spent less than 12 hours with Kim and destroyed any possibility of reunification of Korea. Dude is a cancer
