China is letting Trump damage Brand USA
For the last 20 years, Gallup has asked people worldwide to rate the leadership of the U.S., China, Russia, and Germany.
Reactions from X showed many celebrating the US’s fall from grace, especially under Trump.
Arnaud Bertrand joked, sharing the news that Trump is nicknamed “Chuān Jiàn Guó” in China, which means “Trump builds China.”
There’s a reason why Trump is nicknamed 川建国 (Chuān Jiàn Guó) – “Trump build China” – in China. https://t.co/31BSgs1jnl

Even the pro-American Economist published a cover of Chinese President Xi overshadowing Trump that read – “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
We spoke to diplomats, advisers, scholars, experts and current and former officials in China. Almost all of them see the war in Iran as a grave American error. Register for free to read why: https://t.co/0CDHuDCMDW pic.twitter.com/KCTtaPO1Kf

British ruling class still licking Trump’s arse
Meanwhile, in the American vassal state of the UK, Labour was busy licking Trump’s arse and whitewashing their heinous crimes.
On Tuesday morning, when asked if Trump’s attacks on Iran’s civilian energy facilities would be a war crime, Health Secretary Wes Streeting answered:
Health secretary Wes Streeting is asked whether Trump’s strikes on Iran’s civilian energy infrastructure would be a war crime.
“Not my judgement to make”, he replies. pic.twitter.com/O6DhCvZV1A

Starmer is busy instructing the police to stop brave activists outside US bases in the UK who are trying to stop a nuclear genocide that Trump has ranted about.

Trump is threatening to repeat the attacks on power plants and bridges, which the US has already subjected Iran to. As attacking civilian infrastructure is a war crime, this means Trump is openly threatening to commit war crimes. And, as the Economist pointed out, why would China intervene when Trump is rampaging through whatever little remaining geopolitical good will there may be for the US?
In fact, Zarah Sultana’s Easter message was on point – comparing Starmer as a caricature of a bunny following Trump’s orders.

Starmer and Labour once again haven’t read the room: the world hates Trump! It is beyond time to oppose the US’ belligerence. So, you can trust that Labour will still be hopping eagerly in search of the long-lost ‘special relationship.’
