Donald Trump Doesn’t Like Democracy, Might Declare War on China
In his ridiculous, incoherent interview with the New York Times about his foreign policy “ideas,” Donald Trump refused to rule out war with China.
Yes, I said war. With. China.
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said on Saturday that his foreign policy would be “unpredictable” in order to maintain leverage over other countries.
In an interview with The New York Times, Trump even suggested that he would not rule out going to war with China in order to show the country that he’s serious about trade negotiations.
“I would use trade to negotiate. Would I go to war? Look, let me just tell you. There’s a question I wouldn’t want to answer. Because I don’t want to say I won’t or I will or – do you understand that, David?” he said, addressing Times reporter David Sanger.
“That’s the problem with our country. A politician would say, ‘Oh I would never go to war,’ or they’d say, ‘Oh I would go to war.’ I don’t want to say what I’d do because, again, we need unpredictability.”
The former reality television star suggested that democracy was hurting the U.S. when it came to foreign policy because it required leaders to be too transparent.
And don’t miss Trump’s absurdly garbled ideas about “cyber:”
TRUMP: First off, we’re so obsolete in cyber. We’re the ones that sort of were very much involved with the creation, but we’re so obsolete, we just seem to be toyed with by so many different countries, already. And we don’t know who’s doing what. We don’t know who’s got the power, who’s got that capability, some people say it’s China, some people say it’s Russia. But certainly cyber has to be a, you know, certainly cyber has to be in our thought process, very strongly in our thought process. Inconceivable that, inconceivable the power of cyber. But as you say, you can take out, you can take out, you can make countries nonfunctioning with a strong use of cyber. I don’t think we’re there. I don’t think we’re as advanced as other countries are, and I think you probably would agree with that. I don’t think we’re advanced, I think we’re going backwards in so many different ways. I think we’re going backwards with our military. I certainly don’t think we are, we move forward with cyber, but other countries are moving forward at a much more rapid pace. We are frankly not being led very well in terms of the protection of this country.
He has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about. A classic example of rambling bullshit from a guy who’s making it up as he goes.
