Trump Says China Will Not Dare The US Because He Is “Crazy”

Donald Trump has vowed that China would not dare provoke the United States if he is elected for a second term as the President of the United States because Chinese President Xi Jinping knows he is “crazy.”

Trump told the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal that he would impose heavy tariffs on China if they moved towards blockading Taiwan.

“I would say: if you go into Taiwan, I’m sorry to do this; I’m going to tax you at 150% to 200%,” Trump said.

The former president said he would not need the use of military might to hinder China from blockading Taiwan because China’s Xi “respects me and he knows I’m (expletive) crazy.”

“I had a very strong relationship with him.

“He was actually a really good, I don’t want to say friend – I don’t want to act foolish, ‘he was my friend’ – but I got along with him great.

“He’s a very fierce person.”

Trump also said he “got along” with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his term as president, but also warned Putin against attacking Ukraine.

“I’m going to hit you right in the middle of fricking Moscow,’” Trump told Wall Street about Putin.

“I said, ‘We’re friends. I don’t want to do it, but I have no choice.’ He goes, ‘No way.’ I said, ‘Way.’

“I said, ‘You’re going to be hit so hard, and I’m going to take those (expletive) domes right off your head.’ Because, you know, he lives under the domes.”
