And he'll keep doing it until he's removed from office

In your face.
Donald Trump has called for China to investigate his leading political rival, in defiance of impeachment proceedings in Congress where he stands accused of abusing his office to put similar pressure on Ukraine.

  The Guarddan
And a number of other countries.
[O]n the White House lawn on Thursday, he openly called for both Ukraine and China to investigate the Bidens.

“If they were honest about it, they would start a major investigation into the Bidens,” Trump said. “Likewise, China should start an investigation into the Bidens. Because what happened in China is just about as bad as what happened with Ukraine.”

[...]

The president was speaking as his former special envoy on Ukraine, Kurt Volker, was giving evidence to House committees about what he knew about parallel contacts with Kyiv conducted by Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and aimed exclusively at obtaining compromising material on the Bidens.

“The Chinese are coming in next week,” he said. “We’re going to have a meeting with them, we’ll see, but we’re doing very well. I have a lot of options on China. But if they don’t do what we want, we have tremendous, tremendous power.”
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:



"Russia...if you're listening..."  He doesn't see why that's a problem.  And particularly since he paid no price for doing it back then.

UPDATE:  Here's the video:
