“I had a great relationship with President Xi. I love him, “Trump said. “But I do not feel the same way now.”
Trump did not refer to a similar decline in his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who announced earlier Tuesday that his government had become the first to officially register a coronavirus vaccine and declared it ready for use, despite international skepticism.
Instead, Trump claimed without proof that American faxes were “ready to rock” and claimed that “many doctors swore by” hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus. Robust medical research has shown that the antimalarial drug is not useful for Covid-19 patients.
The president later claimed he had been significantly tougher on Moscow than his predecessor, Barack Obama, whose administration he accused of spying on him in a highly bureaucratic conspiracy that allegedly involved former vice president Joe Biden.
Trump on Tuesday made several critical remarks about Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, referring to a recent U.S. intelligence assessment that concluded that Russia is targeting Biden for the November election, while China hopes Trump will lose.
“They will leave the United States if he wins,” Trump said of Beijing. “And with me, they had the worst year in 67 years, because I was tearing the hell out of them.”
The president also gave advice on the most anticipated political announcement of the week – Biden’s revelation of his running mate, which is expected to be announced in the coming days.
‘I think I would approach going a different route than what he did. You know, do it the way he did – at first he hung himself, you know, a certain group of people, which is good, “Trump said, referring to Biden’s promise of a female vice presidential candidate. to select.
‘He said that and, you know, some people would say men are offended by that, and some people will say it’s good. “I do not know,” Trump said.
When he dominated the airwaves Tuesday morning, the president also found time to dismiss several tweets to dredge old White House controversies.
He encouraged his supporters to purchase an upcoming memoir by a former top West Wing aide who was fired last year for sharing sensitive details about the president’s family with the press.
And in a message attacks his former national security adviser John Bolton as “one of the dumbest people I’ve ever met in government.”
Trump also apparently acknowledged his distrust in his own intelligence agencies.
“[I]for the first people you met from … so called American Intelligence were Dirty Cops who have now proven sleazebags at the highest level … you might have known my reluctance to embrace! “the president wrote.
He went on false attribute the country’s rising Covid-19 caseloads to an increase in testing nationwide, and scolded the media for using “Cases to diminish the incredible work done by the great men and women of the US who China Pest Stride! “
