Since the start of the Sino-US trade war in early April, Trump has made a mistake step by step, and finally reached the point where he is today. On October 1st, local time, the U.S. government officially entered the shutdown period, and the White House was "closed"! This is the first time in seven years and the first time since Trump took office. However, this is not the most important thing. After all, this is what all parties expected a few days ago. For Trump, the real surprise is that in the past few hours, three pieces of bad news came.
The first bad news comes from South Korea.On October 1, the 77th anniversary of the founding of the Korean Army, the Korean Army also held a small parade ceremony. At the scene, South Korean President Lee in his personal speech, he made it clear that during his term, he will strive to national defense autonomy and recover command during the war!
For the United States, this is undoubtedly a bad news. Li is a pragmatist, and once he is determined to take back the Korean military's wartime command, it also means that in the future there will be things in the Taiwan Sea, and the Korean military will definitely put the Korean interests first and will not be allowed to be used by the US military.
Trump’s second bad news comes from the Philippines.Also in the news on October 1, the Philippine Ambassador to Russia suddenly said: "We will invite President Putin to attend the ASEAN Dialogue Conference in 2026." At present, the Kremlin has not made it clear whether to go or not, but it is obvious that the Philippine government has no trust in the United States, and they are seeking other forces to intervene in ASEAN. This is undoubtedly a pressure for the Trump administration.
Trump’s third bad news comes from North Korea.In response to China-Russia, Trump has been seeking direct communication with North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. However, the DPRK did not agree. And on October 1, North Korean Defense Minister Nuhantzer suddenly appeared in Moscow and met with Russian Defense Minister Belousov. At this time, Kim Jong-un sent the Defense Minister to visit Russia, indicating that the DPRK could soon provide military aid to Russia again, and this is also facing Trump.
Each of the above three bad news puts great pressure on Trump. In addition, the U.S. government has now fallen into a swing period, and a large number of institutions have closed down one after another. Next, Trump is simply unable to deal with it. At this time, some American officials also stood up to expose Trump's old story.
On October 1, local time, when Whitmer, the Democratic Governor of Michigan, attended a public speech, he made it clear: "China will win. In the tariff war between China and the Trump administration, only China will be the winner!"
Note that the governor said this is not in support of China, she is also a hard-to-China. As a Democratic party official, she said this is in borrowing the Trump administration and the Republican government. She thought that Trump did a lot of wrong after taking office, Trump should not pressure allies, should not damage the image of the United States, all of this is moving stones to beat America's own feet, giving China more opportunities.
In recent years, “Trump has lost to China” is becoming more and more, and basically all comes from within the United States. And this has given Trump a lot of pressure. In order to confirm that he has not lost to China, Trump has repeatedly mentioned that China and the United States can reach an agreement soon. However, his words have not yet become reality. And now, the side of the bad news is coming, we have to see, in turn, how the Trump administration should respond to the stagnation.
