WASHINGTON (AP) — Communism, President Donald Trump says, is the greatest threat the U.S. has ever faced.

Think of it like an expressionist painting, it’s just about whatever you feel, whatever you want to put out on a canvas. It doesn’t have to make sense, it doesn’t have to have any resemblance to reality, just write whatever you feel. And sometimes it’ll look like you just vomited on a page, but that’s just art for you.
Remember, kids, there’s one rule when talking about China, and one rule only: it has to be negative. Beyond that, anything goes!
