As the day of the change of ownership of the White House draws nearer and nearer, Trump is basically worried about only two things: one is how to deal with the “afterlife” clean, not to give his successor the handle to liquidate himself; the second is to break the pot, the mess is further screwed up, not to let his successor easily “change course”.
The president of a big country has no concern for the well-being of humanity, not even for the health of his own people. This is a sad and lamentable selfishness!
Amnesty for allies to prevent liquidation
The end of the year is still a week away, but 2020 is already destined to be the “deadliest” year in the history of the United States, even the two world wars can not match.

The Associated Press reported on the 22nd that the number of deaths in the United States this year is expected to exceed 3 million for the first time, possibly reaching 3.2 million. The new crown epidemic is the most critical factor leading to a sharp rise in mortality, with the U.S. topping the world list with more than 18 million cumulative diagnoses and nearly 320,000 deaths that day. The CDC said life expectancy per capita in the U.S. could be reduced by three years this year.
The company’s main goal is to provide a good solution to the problem. It was also on the 22nd that Trump did several things.
First, refused to sign the $900 billion new crown bailout bill that Congress just passed. Trump said the bill contains too much foreign aid and not enough aid for Americans, “it’s a disgrace”. But he probably forgot that the Republicans previously proposed a bailout bill in Congress amounted to only $300 billion.
Second, the president’s authority was used to pardon 15 people. These people have different identities, including former Trump aides convicted in the “Russia” investigation, as well as employees of overseas security companies who shot and killed Iraqi civilians in 2007, and former Republican congressmen convicted of corruption. But they either hold Trump’s secrets or are political allies of Trump.
Once again, more than a dozen tweets were posted, and none of them concerned about the outbreak. In a nearly 10-minute video, Trump again launched accusations about the election results, defending himself. He went on to claim that the election results were “stolen,” that Democrats used the epidemic to “rig” the election, and that “no president has ever lost a re-election campaign after achieving extraordinary results in multiple areas. “.
The “beast in distress” has a plan
Although the media is generally regarded as “beastly”, but Trump always seize the election will not be released, in addition to his obstinate character, in fact, also with a shrewd political calculations. Trump knows very well that he has too many stains during his administration and is inevitably liquidated after leaving office. The best way to stay in the White House is not only to protect yourself, but also to bargain with your Democratic opponents.
According to records obtained by the New York Times, Trump has not filed federal income tax returns for at least 10 years, and has only paid $750 each for the 2 years he has filed. There is also a $400 million debt due in the next four years, which is a huge test for Trump. At least two more sexual assault lawsuits await him once he leaves the White House.
Trump has hinted that he has the right to pardon himself, but there has never been a precedent for such a pardon in U.S. history, and the vast majority of legal experts do not believe the president’s pardon power can be applied to himself.
Although President-elect Biden promised not to “politically liquidate” Trump, this cannot be applied at the state level. Biden’s promise obviously does not reassure Trump, who can only use his privilege to “protect” as many witnesses against him as possible.
China and Russia counteract U.S. provocations
In addition to “wiping his ass”, Trump apparently has a “broken” mentality.
After the discovery of the mutated new coronavirus, many countries in the world, including Europe, have taken a “no-fly order” against the United Kingdom. However, not to mention the cancellation of flights, the United States did not even require the screening of passengers departing from the United Kingdom for the new crown. According to Reuters, members of the White House Task Force on New Crowns have requested pre-flight screening of passengers, but the Trump administration has taken no action so far.
Although the fight against the epidemic is negative, the creation of confrontation is very positive. The U.S. destroyer McCain 22 without the permission of the Chinese government, unauthorized intrusion into the waters adjacent to my Spratly Islands, a serious violation of China’s sovereignty and security, and seriously undermine the peace and stability of the South China Sea region. The U.S. Department of Commerce continued to impose additional sanctions on Russia on the 21st, announcing the inclusion of 45 Russian companies that cooperate with the military in the sanctions list.
In response to these perverse U.S. practices, the foreign ministers of China and Russia clearly expressed their opposition in a call on the 22nd. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said the U.S. is still wielding the stick of unilateral sanctions against the trend of the times, which will only leave a more disgraceful record in the world. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov pointed out that one should resolutely oppose the U.S. moves to undermine multilateralism, resist the U.S. crackdown on Russia and China, safeguard international law, preserve the common interests of both countries and maintain international stability and cooperation.
The two foreign ministers unanimously stressed that the more chaotic the world is, the more stable the Russian-Chinese relations should be, and the more valuable the value of comprehensive strategic cooperation between the two sides is for Russia, China and the world.
On the same day the defense ministries of China and Russia confirmed that the air forces of the two countries implemented the second joint air strategic cruise. China sent four Boom-6K strategic bombers in a joint formation with two Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers to organize joint patrols in the relevant airspace of the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea. The two countries stressed that the joint air strategic patrols are aimed at further developing the comprehensive strategic partnership of China and Russia in the new era, enhancing the level of strategic cooperation and joint operational capabilities of the two militaries, and jointly maintaining global strategic stability.
As we welcome the new year and the epidemic continues to worsen, the stability and unity of Russian-Chinese relations are both a guarantee of a smooth transition of the human society into the new year and a safeguard in the fight against the epidemic and unilateralism in many fields.
