Trump taunts Taiwan again! Angry about taking 95% of the chip business: Please pay the protection fee to the United States

The US presidential election is approaching its final countdown, and the candidates from both parties are actively participating in interviews with various media outlets to express their political ideas. Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, recently discussed his views on the Taiwan semiconductor industry, US-China relations, immigration policy, and domestic energy policy in a podcast program, and openly criticized his fellow presidential candidate, Joe Biden, as well as the decline of the US media. He also praised Elon Musk's contributions to technology and freedom of speech.

Trump said the United States is not proactive in the chip industry, and chips should be subject to the same tax system as cars.

In the interview, Trump pointed out the US technology industry's reliance on Taiwan chips. Trump said, 'The US is not enthusiastic enough about the chip business. We spend billions of dollars to let wealthy companies borrow money to build chip factories here, but they don't intend to give us good companies. But actually, the US can achieve its goal by imposing heavy taxes on chips, just like the automotive industry, no difference.'

Openly stating that Taiwan has taken away 95% of the chip business, asking the United States for protection requires paying a "protection fee"

He continued, "Taiwan stole the US chip business, 95% of it was taken by Taiwan. Now they want the US to protect Taiwan, but they don't pay anything to the US. Even the mafia would collect protection fees, but these countries that need US protection don't pay anything." Trump also mentioned that he had pressured the NATO organization to pay the appropriate "protection fees," saying, "I made the NATO countries pay 100s of billions of dollars, which no one could do before. Even the NATO Secretary General became my fan."

Critics of US politicians are stupid, and chip makers should take the initiative to set up factories in the US.

Trump also stated that the U.S. government does not need to provide funding to help these chip companies set up factories in the United States. Instead, he believes that as long as the import tariffs on chips are increased, these companies will take the initiative to set up chip factories in the United States in order to avoid the tariffs, thus avoiding the need to pay additional import taxes.

And then he said, "Those chip companies are very rich, but it's because American politicians are too stupid that the chip industry has shifted to Taiwan. Now we want to revitalize the chip industry, not burden taxpayers with costs, but let these companies pay for it themselves!"

Describing China as a huge war machine, beware of Xi Jinping's 'smart and dangerous'

Trump mentioned that China is a "massive war machine" that promotes the expansion of the economy, technology, and military power in an aggressive manner. He pointed out that while China is increasing its military spending, it is constantly seeking to expand its influence in Asia and even globally, which has posed a threat to American interests.

Trump's evaluation of Xi Jinping is contradictory and complex. He called Xi Jinping a "smart and dangerous leader", believing that Xi has strong control and can manage 1.4 billion people with tough measures, which Trump sees as a symbol of strength and a threat.

Viewing tariffs as a means for the country to prosper, resisting China's tax system

He also advocates the importance of imposing tariffs, stating that tariffs are a good way for the United States to prosper. He gave an example of China's original plan to build a large car factory in Mexico to sell cars to the United States. He said that this would crush the U.S. auto industry, and if he is elected, he will impose tariffs of 100% or even 200% on China, preventing them from selling to the United States and preventing China from building factories to protect the U.S. domestic industry.

Trump hinted that the United States needs to protect Taiwan to prevent China from plundering chip resources.

Trump also said that China has always wanted to strengthen its influence in the semiconductor industry, especially in the chip field, and Taiwan's status is indispensable. Therefore, it is believed that the United States should remain highly vigilant against China and emphasize the significance of maintaining stability in Taiwan for the Asia-Pacific region. Trump also stated that if he is still in office as president, he will take a 'tougher' approach to prevent China from invading Taiwan.

Criticism of Carrie Lam and the Biden administration: Lack of leadership and policy swings

In the interview, Trump openly criticized Vice President Harris, saying that she has multiple image and policy position issues. He pointed out that Harris's speeches in public places are vague and lack policy direction, making it difficult for voters to understand her specific positions. He also mentioned that Harris often behaves unnaturally and even experiences awkward moments or 'inarticulate' under pressure, lacking professional coping skills as a public figure.

Trump congratulated Kim for being passive and inconsistent in dealing with problems.

Regarding the immigration issue, Trump criticized Kirstjen Nielsen for not taking concrete action as the 'border issue person', which has led to an increasingly serious problem of illegal immigration. He further pointed out that Nielsen's policy positions often waver, especially on 'gun control' and 'tax policies', changing her stance multiple times. Such performance weakens her credibility among voters and questions whether she possesses leadership.

Unable to cope with the global nuclear weapons issue, Biden's judgment has declined after multiple brain surgeries.

Regarding the global nuclear weapons issue, Trump stated that the United States currently lacks a clear plan and reliable negotiators to address the nuclear threat. Trump believes that Biden's health condition and his multiple brain surgeries may affect his judgment and his ability to effectively respond to international nuclear crises.

Emphasize energy independence and criticize Biden for not properly controlling energy costs.

Trump emphasized the importance of energy independence in the interview, believing that fossil fuel policies help drop oil prices and reduce external dependence, and criticized the Biden administration for closing pipelines and restricting oil exploration, leading to increased energy costs.

Support nuclear energy and advocate for diversified energy development.

As for nuclear energy development, Trump expressed support, considering nuclear energy efficient and clean, and suggested that the United States learn from France's small nuclear power plant model to drop costs. He opposes new energy subsidy policies, believing that excessive subsidies increase electricity costs, burdening small and medium-sized enterprises and low-income families, and advocates diversified energy development to ensure stable supply and avoid excessive reliance on a single energy source.

Criticism of the collapse of the American media, podcasts, and other platforms as sources of truth

Trump accuses the mainstream media in the United States of favoring the Democratic Party, calling it a "propaganda tool," and further stating that the media currently takes his words out of context and distorts them. Trump gives examples, saying that the media likes to deliberately portray him as "unserious" or "malicious." He also claims that the media promotes a bunch of "fake news" leading to a decrease in the public's trust in the news, only to see the public lose trust in traditional media and turn to podcasts and social platforms to seek the truth.

Praising Musk: Promoting Technological Innovation and Freedom of Speech Development

Trump highly praises Musk's technological achievements, describing him as an 'incredible genius'. He mentioned SpaceX's achievements in rocket launches and Starlink satellites, which have once again put the United States ahead in space competition. In addition, TSL's breakthroughs in electric vehicles and clean energy have also put the United States in a leading position in the new energy market. Trump also praised Musk's acquisition of Twitter (X) to promote information transparency, believing that this has profound implications for American free speech.
