President Donald Trump said on July 30 that the Chinese regime “would just love” if he were defeated in the 2020 elections, so that it can make a trade deal favorable to itself with a Democratic president.

“I think the biggest problem to a trade deal is China would love to wait,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn before departing for a ceremony in Jamestown, Virginia, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of representative government in America.
