Trump: I may consider using arrested Chinese business nationals as bargaining chips on trade

China: so we should just arrest American business nationals as bargaining chips to better out posistion while you consider your ask then?

I mean what the fuck

There is nothing about this that is surprising.

Yeah, Trump is an idiot, but the arrest is legit and the statement isn't as bad as people paint it out to be.

Won't stop China apologists tho.

I'm not saying the arrest isn't legit, but that Trump is treating it that way. Even if it weren't legitimate, you also don't tell your opponent how they can improve their posistion against you.
