Republican strategist Scott Jennings triggered a former Biden campaign aide when he brought up what the Chinese brought up about Joe Biden. President Donald Trump announced a 90-day de-escalation of tariffs with China on Monday, following meetings with Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. Jennings got a little hot after undereducated Rep Scott Moulton claimed that Trump was seeking a bromance with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Jennings responded with:
“This whole idea that he’s weak on China, did you not read the news about what Secretary Bessent found out in these meetings, that during the Biden Administration the Chinese officials said, ‘Yeah, we knew we could ignore Biden. We could ignore whatever agreements we had because he was too weak and would never, ever stand up to us or stop us. Now they’ve been drug to the table by a strong American president. And for all the talk from China, from Beijing, ‘Oh, we’re going to outlast the Americans. We’re fortified to outlast the Americans,’ a few days into this, they’re in Switzerland cutting the beginnings of a deal that‘s going to be good for the United States, admitting some of the things that they have to admit in order to get a more balanced situation with us.”
Bessent said:
“In January 2020, President Trump produced a template. We had an excellent trade agreement with China and the Biden Administration chose not to enforce it. The Chinese delegation basically told us that once President Biden came into office, they just ignored their obligations.”

Allison said:
“You know you’re losing when you have to bring Joe Biden into the narrative.”
“I didn’t say it. The Chinese did. They are losing. I agree with you. The Chinese are losing. They brought it up.”
Trump campaigned on imposing tariffs to help boost manufacturing in the United States during the 2024 presidential election. Former Biden campaign aide Ashley Allison questioned why Jennings mentioned China’s comments about Biden.
Trump announced substantial increases on tariffs on Chinese exports to the United States via an April 9 post on Truth Social that also announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs, a week after he initially unveiled the duties on imports.
“The reality is, when you have to make your point and you refer it back to Joe Biden, then what is happening is not working in your favor,” Allison claimed, with Jennings interjecting, “It’s not me.”
