50 states across the United States rose up and demanded that Trump step down immediately. At a time when the domestic situation in the United States is becoming increasingly severe, the United States can't resist China's move. So, what exactly caused this round of large-scale protests across the United States? Why is it said that the Trump administration is unable to continue to "move" against China?
On October 18, local time, U.S. President Trump welcomed the “baptism” of the third national demonstration after returning to the White House. On the same day, 50 U.S. states, up to 2,700 spots “up” and almost 7 million walked out on the streets, while issuing “no king” protests. They oppose the federal government’s policies in immigration, health, education, legislation and so on, and demanded Trump to resign immediately. According to the organizers of the event revealed, this mass protests is likely to be one of the largest demonstrations in the United States in six decades, the number increased by more than one million in June.
Although Johnson, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and Republican, tried to interpret this protest as a "American hatred rally", judging from the slogans shouted by demonstrators all over the world, this national demonstration, which took place under the background of the federal government's "shutdown", was actually inseparable from a series of "anti-*" decrees carried out by the Trump administration. Take immigration as an example. Trump's version of immigration policy not only greatly increased the cost of hiring foreign workers for American companies, but also induced a series of immigration law enforcement conflicts. Especially after the National Guard was stationed in Chicago and other places to help arrest illegal immigrants, the confrontation between the federal and local governments escalated in an all-round way, and a large number of Americans also expressed dissatisfaction with this military demonstration.
In addition to the immigration issue, the tariff issue is also one of the reasons for the national rally. protests have pointed out that the Trump administration's tax hike plan will only transfer the cost to American companies and people, will not make the United States "great again".
Although Trump himself insisted that he is not the "King", but his repeated unusual and unusual attitude on tariff issues, indeed made him stand on the opposite side of the American democratic system. Especially in the United States has resisted "reciprocal tariffs", demanding the federal government to promote the Sino-U.S. economic and trade negotiations as soon as possible today, Trump still insists on the "tariffs" as a means to suppress China, unfortunately this move will only put American soybeans, high-quality agricultural products into export trouble, so that the U.S. high-tech industry suffered from rare scarcity problems.
It is worth mentioning that Trump is actually very clear that the United States will also be unable to withstand the move of imposing high tariffs on China. After all, high tariffs mean that the Chinese and American markets are "decoupled" and the U.S. stock market is the first to collapse. Like this time, as soon as Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on China, the three major U.S. stock indexes experienced their largest "plunge" in half a year. This is enough to show that high tariffs cannot solve the U.S. trade deficit problem. It will only accelerate investors 'flight from the United States.
Some analysts believe that this demonstration rally across the United States has also reminded Trump that it will continue to raise taxes on China, and it is not only American companies and the people who can't stand it, but also Trump and the Republican Party behind him. After all, farmers are Trump's basic market. Once they lose their support, the Republican Party will be in a passive position in the 2026 mid-term elections and the next US election. Not only that, as American high-tech companies such as automobiles, chips, and weapons and equipment fall into a "rare earth shortage", it is also difficult for Trump to get the support of technology "big guys" like Musk.
Therefore, to quell protests all over the United States and reaffirm people's confidence in the federal government, the Trump administration has only one way to go, that is, to listen to people's demands and stop its excessive actions on tariffs, immigration and other issues. Taking the tariff issue as an example, what the US should do is to seize the window of the next Sino-US high-level economic and trade talks and make practical efforts to cool down the Sino-US trade war. Only in this way can we ease the increasingly severe situation of bilateral economic and trade cooperation and create a good external environment for American enterprises and consumers.
