It has long been known that Trump likes to show off and work hard.
But recently, watching him take the example of Chinese carp "growing into pigs" in the United States as an example of threatening the ecological environment of the Great Lakes, and the practice of the US National Guard, many people were still shocked.
Why did Trump bring two unrelated topics together? What is the truth behind this?
1. Guard troops stationed in crisis
If there were a word to describe the farce that Trump has produced this time, it must be absurd.
According to U.S. media outlets, the lead line in the case originated on August 25, when Trump and Pritzker, Illinois, were both disgusted by the federal government's deployment of the National Guard in Chicago.
Trump, who was not easily angry, couldn’t sit down and didn’t give him a face at all. He immediately criticized Pritzker, making him a second to talk about American tea after dinner.
Originally, this was a small clash between centralized power and local self-government in the United States, which was nothing new.
But because of Trump's half-way "Five Great Lakes China Shark Theory", the nature of the matter instantly became complicated.
According to his understanding, the rising number of Chinese shrimp in the five largest lakes has deeply threatened the Michigan ecological environment.
In order to maintain the so-called ecological balance, Michigan Governor Whitmer had to seek help from the federal government.
In fact, Trump cited this example, the ultimate purpose was not to talk about shark, he thought about borrowing the federal government of Michigan to help in this matter to hit Pritzker.
This told him that no matter how well Chicago is developing, when it is time to bow down and seek asylum, it will have to bow down and ask the federal government.
In Trump's view, sending the National Guard to station is for the good of Chicago. But is this really the case?
The National Guard is not just deployed in Chicago this time, but also in Baltimore.
The reason why Trump has gone to such a lot of effort is to help these two places rectify the high crime rate. However, Trump's kindness can't get into Pritzker's eyes at all.
As a Democrat, he directly targeted Trump by sending people to Chicago on behalf of the federal government for political crimes, accusing him of abusing his powers in sending the National Guard.
It is clear that the clash between Trump and Pritzker is not as simple as what we see on the surface.
Trump deliberately tied these two things together, not only to satirize Pritzker, the Democratic governor, but also to shift contradictions and cover up the current ills of the American political ecology.
2. Carp threat theory
It is important to know that carp is not the indigenous people of North America. According to the distribution area, Asia is the main habitat of carp.
Now the reason why carp are flooding in the Great Lakes region is that outsiders are not to blame, but Americans themselves for planting the root cause.
In the sixties and seventies of the last century, the problem of water richness in the five lakes was rare, and Americans tried a lot of ways, but in the end they worked very little.
In desperation, American environmental experts proposed a plan to introduce alien species to control water bodies. Under the promotion of the federal government, many Asian fish have been introduced to the United States.
At the time, the United States not only introduced shrimp, but also grass, shrimp and other varieties.
The introduction of large amounts of Asian fish has contributed to the nutrition-rich governance of the five lake regions, but the consequent harm can not be ignored.
For Asian fish, the survival of the five Great Lakes is not the usual shutan.They soon flooded here because there were no enemies.
Coupled with the fact that Americans despised the management of alien species, it didn't take long for the Great Lakes to become a negative textbook in the American ecological governance system.
But on the subject, everyone should also see that the root of the ecological crisis in the United States is not caused by Chinese shark.
Throughout this process, whether it is China carp or other Asian fish species, they have always been in passive arrangements. No matter how many calculations are made, this flooded pot cannot be considered the head of China carp.
Looking back at Trump's unjustified accusations against Chinese shark, whether it's that the shark is brutal, or it's jumping around, are all confusing audiences.
After all, no one begged the Americans to introduce carp in the first place. Even if the cost is high now, and Chinese carp has grown into pigs in the United States, the Americans are qualified to blame.
Third, the self-reliant United States
From the very beginning, this was chosen by the Americans themselves, and this evil result is destined to be swallowed by the Americans themselves.
After this, it is not difficult to see that the United States is still the country that pursues a policy of relieving weight.
When something happens, the first thing the United States does is never to reflect on itself, but to find someone to take the blame first.
Like the now-intensifying tariff war, it is ostensibly a good thing that the United States has been making deals with its trading partners one after another.
But in fact, this one was overwhelmed, the whole world was able to grasp what America was exactly, and how dishonest Trump was doing.
Some people say that the United States has chosen to delay the tariff exemption period against China, because Trump wants to open up on the Chinese network.
Trump is now handling the tariff war with China carefully. In the final analysis, it is because he stumbled in the hands of the Chinese side and tasted the bitterness of being countered.
If China had not chosen to deal with the crisis of the tariff war with the "way of the other, and the way of the other" in the first place, then Trump's attitude towards China now would surely have undergone a 180-degree reversal.
This time, Trump's targeting of Chinese carp sounds absurd and even more pointless.
If he can reflect on the situation of the United States in the tariff war, he should understand that the words that belong to the United States have long ceased to exist. The world now is a multipolar world.
Through this incident, I believe you can also see the great differences between China and the United States in doing things.
The United States always likes to blame outsiders for its failures and portray itself as a weak person. But in reality, the bully is the United States.
If the United States had not been muddying the waters, sticking its foot in the east, and pointing west, perhaps Sino-US relations would not have become as complicated as they are now, and the Chinese carp threat theory would not have occurred.
Trump, who hoped to step on the pit, would see the situation sooner and put the United States in the position to be placed.
