Trump’s China Trip Was Over Before It Started

About this episode
Chris Cuomo discusses the implications of Trump's state visit to China and the failures surrounding it.
President Trump's state visit to China was over before he even left the ground. In his comments to reporters before departing for Beijing, Trump said he doesn't even consider Americans' financial situation when making foreign policy decisions — that the only thing that matters to him is keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. That admission, paired with what's actually happening at this summit, is a campaign ad for the midterms. Chris breaks down why this trip was a failure before it started: the economic crisis Trump is ignoring at home, the Iran war that's bled his leverage, the Taiwan ask that reveals how China sees American weakness, and why the Democrats are still barely beating MAGA in the polls despite every economic metric going the wrong way.
