The Bolton book leaks are flowing. Among them, Trump sought China's help in getting him re-elected. He needed Russia in 2016; so, why now enlist China in 2020:

Another fun excerpt:
Bolton recounts numerous private conversations Trump had with other leaders that revealed the limits of his knowledge. He recalls Trump asking Kelly if Finland is part of Russia. In a meeting with then-British Prime Minister Theresa May in 2018, a British official referred to the United Kingdom as a “nuclear power,” and Trump interjects: “Oh, are you a nuclear power?” Bolton adds that he could tell the question about Britain, which has long maintained a nuclear arsenal, “was not intended as a joke.”
Yep, that's our President.
