Top Trump donor Liz Uihlein, co-founder of Uline, privately mocked Trump's claim of an upper hand in trade negotiations with China. An email containing a cartoon depicting Trump losing a card game to Xi Jinping was sent to Uline staff. This contradicts Trump's public pronouncements. Uihlein's skepticism, along with previous criticism from other mega-donors, highlights unease among some Republican supporters regarding the administration's China trade policy, particularly given Uline's significant Chinese imports. Despite this, Trump recently reiterated his belief in having a decisive advantage.
