President Trump believes China is desperate for a Joe Biden presidency.
“China is DREAMING that Sleepy Joe Biden, or any of the others, gets elected in 2020,” tweeted the commander-in-chief on Sunday night.
“They LOVE ripping off America!” he said.
Trump has blasted the former vice president several times now for being soft on China following the failed US trade talks last week.
The president claimed in one tweet that “the reason for the China pullback & attempted renegotiation of the Trade Deal is the sincere HOPE that they will be able to ‘negotiate’ with Joe Biden or one of the very weak Democrats.”
“China should not renegotiate deals with the US at the last minute,” Trump said in another post from Friday. “This is not the Obama Administration, or the Administration of Sleepy Joe, who let China get away with ‘murder!’ ”
Biden has said in the past that he believes China is “not competition for us.”
“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man,” Biden said at a campaign rally earlier this month, just one week after announcing his bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
“They can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system,” he added. “I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They’re not competition for us.”
