"They said, Mr. Xi, the only thing we can say about Mr. Trump is that he's thoroughly unpredictable. He's not very well informed. His intelligence people, some of them seem to know which end is up, but he doesn't seem to listen to those. So we have to sort of agree with what Comrade Putin says and thinks and, and proceed very gingerly."
Ray McGovern, citing intelligence sources, revealed the Chinese leadership's internal assessment of Trump as unpredictable and uninformed, requiring careful handling to avoid provoking erratic behavior. McGovern indicated this view aligns with Putin's assessment, shaping how both Russia and China approach diplomatic engagement with the U.S. president in 2026.
