It was a sentence, casually spoken in the Oval Office, that triggered a tectonic shift within the Trump camp. Donald Trump announced that 600,000 Chinese students should in the future be welcome in the United States. For universities a matter of survival, for Trump a supposedly economic move - but for his most loyal followers a betrayal that could hardly be heavier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reactions are fierce. Marjorie Taylor Greene declared that if universities could only survive with Chinese students, \u201cthen they should just go under.\u201d Steve Bannon even called for a complete stop for all foreign students. And Laura Loomer, perhaps the most radical voice of the movement, swung the rhetorical wrecking ball: \u201cNobody, I repeat nobody, wants 600,000 Chinese \u2018students,\u2019 aka Communist spies, in the United States.\u201d For Loomer the matter is clear: Trump is opening the gate for the enemy she has long portrayed as a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her words are poison for the president. In further posts she says that China \u201cmurdered 1.2 million Americans\u201d - an allusion to the Corona deaths - and that Trump is now importing their \u201creplacement.\u201d \u201cThis cannot happen,\u201d she writes. In a second attack she calculates: if you deport 1,000 migrants a day but at the same time let 600,000 \u201cspies\u201d into the country, you cannot speak of mass deportations. With that she not only questions Trump\u2019s policies but also the core of his campaign: the narrative of uncompromising toughness at the borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
