Trump's attacks on China have a hidden motivation: Joe Biden

Of course, I hadn't seen it before. Trump's persistent attacks against China over the coronavirus pandemic have had a hidden motive. The attacks are genuine and politically thought out and actually somewhat justified seeing as how it looks like Beijing deliberately let its nationals fly around the world after the lockdown in Wuhan to ensure everyone's economies would be damaged, not just China's. But at the back of Trump's mind, the name Joe Biden is lurking. If the whole of the US gets really angry about China's role in spreading the virus and this is one of THE big issues for the November presidential election, Trump will trot all kinds of things to claim that Biden is soft on China. His whole career record vis a vis China will be dredged up and voters will be made aware that Biden can never be trusted to be tough on China, while he, Trump, is as tough as tough can be. It makes a lot of political sense. So even if the Tara Reade sexual harrassment case doesn't undo Biden over the next few months, then the China issue will be the battering ram to undermine the former vice president's White House ambitions. It's not subtle but it could be very effective, especially at a time when the whole country is demanding to know who to blame for destroying everyone's livelihood and the US economy. I anticipate some belicose rallies in which pictures of Biden shaking hands with President Xi Zinping will be aired with suitably pointed captions. The fact that Trump has also shaken President Xi's hand and has previously glowed about how fine a man he is and that he is his friend will not be mentioned by the Trump campaign team. Biden and his backers should prepare themselves.
