Perhaps US President Donald Trump knows he is not doing a good job - neither as president nor as a global leader. Perhaps that's why he is grasping at straws.

There are increasing signs his Republican Party will lose the House of Representatives in the midterm elections in November. Polls show that among the people very excited about voting, about 60 percent strongly disapprove of Trump's leadership.

Failing to catch any straws, Trump has turned to China.
