Episode 5545: CCP's Plan To Remove Donald Trump From The Presidency; Dragging Europe Into Iran

53 claimsThe check →

Declassified intelligence, as reported by Trump and the Washington Examiner, supports that CCP policy in 2018 aimed to leverage forces opposed to Trump to make him resign or prevent his re-election, but that concerns his first term and the 2020 election.

This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Contradicts. The same National Intelligence Council assessment, as quoted, says China considered interference efforts in 2020 but ultimately decided this was not worth the cost, which weakens the idea of an active removal plan.[2]

Supports. Trump released declassified intelligence records, reported by IANS, quoting CIA reporting that CCP policy in mid-2018 was 'to leverage all domestic and foreign elements that were opposed to the US president in an effort to reduce the US president's votes and make him resign or prevent his re-election.'[3]

Supports. The Washington Examiner quotes a National Intelligence Council assessment that the same 2018 policy language existed and that China did take some steps to undermine Trump's reelection.[2]

Context. 2026 coverage of US-China relations describes a 'constructive relationship of strategic stability' after a May 2026 summit and a planned Xi state visit in September 2026, with no source reporting a current CCP plan to remove Trump.[1][4]

Context. The claim tracks the post's title, 'CCP's Plan To Remove Donald Trump From The Presidency,' but the post's body does not supply the plan's details, and the sources address first-term-era policy rather than a plan in effect in July 2026.
