When he’s not tweeting about the failing, biased media or encouraging people to buy boots and flannel, Donald Trump dabbles in discussing the affairs of other countries.
Trump’s foreign policy outlines general goals, but the specifics are hazier. For the details on which countries Trump is most likely to engage, his Twitter account is a steady stream of information, albeit unofficial information.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the country Trump tweets about most is China. As U.S. News contributor Matthew Strabone put it, Trump treats China “as a rival business,” and as such, gives it extreme attention not only in tweets, but also in interviews and rallies:
Here are few of Trump’s most popular tweets about the country:

their country (the U.S. doesn’t tax them) or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea? I don’t think so!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
Markets are crashing – all caused by poor planning and allowing China and Asia to dictate the agenda. This could get very messy! Vote Trump.

Below are the top 10 countries other than the United States that Trump has tweeted about most since May 4, 2009.
