This whole Epstein distraction on MAGA’s part is really an excuse to turn on Trump. What Epstein did was the MAGA dream. What did he do that made them so angry that it's such a consequential rallying call? He put women "in their place". That's what MAGA/Proud Boys/Incels wanted. Maybe it was because they were underage...? That's a bunch a bull because the only difference between raping an adult and raping a child is when they rape a child, they're punishing a child before they commit the crime of becoming a woman. Today when a girl becomes a woman, it means they become independent. They get to make decisions for themselves especially sexually. What do MAGA, Proud Boys, and incels complain about the most? The loss of their masculinity. They want to go back to an era when men were in control. Rape is not about sex. It's about power. That's why someone like Andrew Tate has a following. How is raping a child that serious to someone like them? In prison you have straight men who rape other men because it's an expression of power and not because they're gay and men in prison understand that and why it's "okay" in that kind of environment.
Why are they turning on Trump? Because what he’s doing as President is screwing them too when they thought it would only target leftist interests and they don’t want to admit it. Why is Trump desperate for a summit with China? Because his attempt to control the world economy backfired spectacularly. MAGA thought the US got that kind leverage too and now they look stupid for believing it. To save face, they’re default blaming it on Trump because they’re certainly not going to admit they were wrong for following Trump. And what does Trump have to do to get their loyalty back? Making sure his base prospers. And the only way that can happen is if Trump’s policies benefits them and not just his small circle of rich friends like it is now. And the only way he can lift all boats... leads to China. China has to buy American and that is happening less and less especially because of Biden’s and now Trump’s policies.
Take a look at how Jensen Huang apparently was able to convince Trump to allow him to sell advanced computer chips to China now. The spin is now that the US has to make China addicted to US advanced processors not only so the US can make money but because it's appealing to the white supremacist narrative that everyone needs and would rather buy superior white technology thus China will abandon any domestic research and development at home thus keeping the West in control.
I bet Jensen Huang knows what the game is and that's what Beijing should learn. Trump is going around the world thinking like typical Republicans where the US has all the leverage and can get anything they want. That's not the case especially when it comes to China. If this summit happens, China should push for deals where like the Chinese EV industry gets access to the US market but spin it to Trump where China ships Chinese EV chassis to US auto companies so they can make their own cars and call them American EVs. That's the only way they can be affordable to them and still be called "American". CATL is doing this right now with some Chinese EV brands. It's the shell and add-ons that make them distinct from other Chinese brands. That can happen in the US where American brands and workers do their part. The Republicans will just have to realize they can't have it 100% percent their way anymore because that already has shown to be a failure.
China has to pitch to Trump all the positives for him to gain to abandon his America first and only strategy. Trump wants to look like the savior of the US... and the world. Trump needs China to buy American agricultural products and other goods. It's never going to come where everything is going to be slanted in favor of the US. That's a white supremacist fantasy. Trump is the only one that can do another "Nixon". The Democrats are too afraid and can only follow the Republican fantasy over a cliff. If things stay the same, the Democrats are going to extend global animosity and division when they take the White House next election cycle. This is what China should be telling Trump and maybe even say they'll push for Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize. If it's seen as a big positive for Trump overall, he'll play ball. And even tell him it'll undermine the Democrats for the foreseeable seeable future where Trump is seen as a positive in US history.
