Trump's Apocalyptic Designs on China

When Trump left his first WH visit and briefing by Obama on the 10 November 2016, he was beaming like a little boy who has just being shown his "toys" for Christmas. Except that these "toys" could only be played with after he has comfortably settled into the Oval Office.

He was so stunned and self-absorbed with what Obama had revealed that his mind was not in the room while in appearance with Obama concluding the WH visit. His brain synapses were firing away like runaway nuclear fission reactions. Look back at the video of this event and observe if you can't recall.

How could Trump widely reported to have a short attention span who planned a 10 minute visit to the WH extended it to 90 minutes? What could Obama have shared to hold his attention and enthusiasm for so long?

It is no secret that Trump has an intense obsession with China and a diabolical desire to mow down China by any means.

Obama must have shown Trump that the US has about 400 (as reported by RT News) military bases and installations surrounding China and at the flip of a switch or button can vanquish the defenses of China. So, Trump's mind is now fully preoccupied with taking down China.

Need corroborative proof? Why do you think Trump has no interests at all in the daily intelligence briefings? When you have already made up your mind on the Big Picture and Ultimate Decision to be buddy-buddy with Russia and take down China, the daily intelligence briefings are boring, petty and irrelevant.

Still not convinced? Why do you think Trump was so amorously pursuing Mitt Romney with candlelight dinner at the Jean-Georges Vongerichten when there is no love lost between them? Who else, but, Romney who has a deep disdain for China that can match Trump's? Review the Romney China hate-speeches in his 2012 campaign to be refreshed. Many were puzzled by this attempted alliance but I am not.

Trump needs a credible and dependable Diplomatic Attack Dog (an award winning oxymoron 2016?) in Romney while he plots militarily with all his Generals against China.

China Foreign Minister Wang Yi described Tsai Ing-wen call as President of Taiwan to Trump as a "trickery". Minister Wang Yi is kind with that choice of word. I would call it "Treachery". Ms Tsai is offering Trump an excuse to attack China.

I started this Blog in the hope of strengthening China's Voice in the Global Conversation to prevent hostilities between East and West. Looks like I am too late.

There can now be only one bold and swift move China can take - Invade Taiwan and Reunify before Trump's Inauguration!

Xi Jinping and his fellow Filial Sons of China have this heavy burden on their shoulders. Remove once and for all this "Taiwan Wild Card" that US politicians keep meddling with.

Romney/Trump Trivialities

The hot shot columnists perhaps of NYT or WaPo can deep dive into the geopolitics of the whys and wherefores for the cozy threesome dinner at the Jean Georges. Reince Priebus, the Japanese hybrid car sounding fella, had to hang around in case needed to fill in any awkward silence. Both diners were still fresh from the blistering memories of their vicious attacks against each other.

I wanted to relax after the taxing elections and playfully take a lighthearted stab at the menu of this dinner.

My favorite would be the appetizers just as the Fox Appetizers I am so fond of as frequently reported here.

On that fateful night, the appetizer was young garlic soup with thyme and sauteed frog legs. Followed by diver scallops with caramelized cauliflower and a caper raisin emulsion.

The young garlic must be to ward off any evil spirits that might be lurking around the meeting. The thyme then to squash any lingering odor from the garlic. The frog legs obviously a badge of honor saluting the Frenchy imprint of the haute cuisine.

I am reminded we the populous Chinese dine on frog legs too. Not as an extravaganza dish but a parsimonious necessity of our large population to eat all parts of any creature that moves, swims, flies or hops.

The diver scallops conjured a vision of a young nubile lass wrapped scantily in a flowery sarong with her soft hair flowing in the wind on an exotic Pacific isle. Confidently biting on an over-sized dagger, she graciously plunged into the sea to dig up scallops.

Or are diver scallops just scallops that know how to dive?

Of course, with the choice of serving the insipid cauliflowers, caramel had to be smeared on them to provide the sweet and sticky flavor. This instantaneously connected my thoughts with the famously Chinese dish of sweet and sour pork balls.

The accompanying sliced cucumbers, pineapples, tomatoes with the pork fried in batter into balls (not pig's testicles as some may repulse at the weird animal parts we Chinese eat) are smeared with a sweet sauce coupled with a dash of pungent vinegar to produce the daring sourness.

Finally, the caper raisin emulsion must be the closest thing to a winery taste the guests could settle for, since Trump does not drink alcohol. All of these made for quite an appetizer.

Perhaps the main course and dessert can be covered another time as I am running out of it now.

A Secretary of State will come out of all this trouble?
