Trump’s recent behavior is increasingly unhinged, and can be summed up in a few words: domineering, deranged, and utterly irrational. It’s no surprise that the latest polls show his support has plummeted to 39%, a sharp drop of 6 percentage points since February. This collapse in popularity has triggered a major rift among overseas "yellow-base" KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders). Some, like To Kit, Elmer Yuen, and Simon Lau, stubbornly continue to back Trump, drawing fierce criticism from former D100 commentator Lai Chak-fun ("Q Jai"), who lambasted them for their blind support. Lai argues that Trump’s tariff war has been a total disappointment-obvious to all but those he calls the ignorant "blind Trump fanatics" among the KOLs, whose behavior he describes as utterly disgraceful.
Meanwhile, the well-known radio host Albert Cheng, once dubbed the "Hong Kong Chief Executive Before 10am," who now lives in Canada, posted an appeal urging voters to support the Liberal Party in the current election. He called for unity against the "great enemy"-namely, Trump’s administration and its unreasonable oppression. Friends believe the split among "yellow-base" KOLs is a positive development, as the heated debates reveal the true colors of those who fawn over America and trample on China.
Overseas “Yellow-base” KOLs split on Trump. “Blind Trump Fanatics” draw fierce criticism.
To Kit Tops "Trump Fanatic" List
Overseas writer To Kit was singled out by Q Jai as the leading "Trump fanatic" KOL. Just two days ago, To Kit posted on social media, claiming "Trump has been waiting for a call from Xi Jinping, but it never came -- China ‘wins’. But the latest news tells us that Trump declared that Xi actually called him first, sending finance officials... Clearly, China is knocking the door for negotiation." To Kit took Trump’s words at face value, accusing the Chinese side of lying, despite the blatant reality that Trump constantly contradicts himself, even denying things he’s said publicly. Who’s the real liar? Most people have already made up their minds, yet To Kit insists it’s China.
Elmer Yuen’s "Negotiation Tactic" Defense
Lai Chak-fun also named "wanted criminal" Elmer Yuen in his list of "Trump fanatics." Yuen recently ranted on YouTube about the US-China tariff war, arguing that critics who say Trump lost by lowering tariffs are wrong- that it’s just a negotiation tactic, walking the tightrope of push and pull, to force the other side to compromise. In other words, Yuen still believes Trump has the upper hand. Yuen’s unwavering support for Trump is consistent with his long-standing "sycophantic pro-America" stance. During the trial of the Jimmy Lai case, it was revealed that Yuen had wanted to produce a video during the "Hong Kong black riot" period, urging then-President Trump to send US troops to "protect Hong Kong." The idea was so extreme that even Jimmy Lai dared not broadcast the video.
Lai Chak-fun: Trump’s Bluff and KOLs’ Spin
Lai Chak-fun wrote that Trump’s evasive answers about whether Xi Jinping had actually called him were nothing but empty bluster to save face. After being forced to back down, Trump was left scrambling for any shred of dignity he could find: grasping at straws, hoping Xi would throw him a lifeline and call soon to get him out of this embarrassing situation.
He went on: "I wonder how Trump fanatic KOLs like To Kit, Simon Lau Sai Leung, Sang Pu (Eric Poon), Elmer Yuen, Simon Shen, Yu Jie, and Cao Changqing will spin this for their master. Watching these sycophantic lackeys twist themselves into knots is truly entertaining."
This scathing critique resonated with many. One comment read: "They need to suck up to Trump for traffic. No traffic, no money, so of course they’ll whitewash Trump as much as possible." Another said, "They’re not really Trump fans -- whenever someone comes out against China, they’ll just jump on the bandwagon." Both hit the nail on the head.
Albert Cheng’s Call for Unity Against Trump
Albert Cheng, now living in Canada, didn’t directly attack the "Trump fanatics," but made his anti-Trump stance clear. He accused Trump of trying to annex Canada as the 51st US state, disregarding Canadian sovereignty and dignity, and putting the nation’s survival at risk. He called for national unity to oppose Trump’s administration and its unreasonable oppression, urging voters to support the Liberal Party, which dares to stand up to Trump.

A Positive Split?
Some friends see the split among "yellow-base" KOLs over Trump as a good sign, mirroring the deep divisions Trump has caused within the US, and even in Taiwan. The phenomenon is actually positive: the less popular Trump becomes, the less influence these "Trump fans" wield. Yet, out of pride, they can’t back down and are sinking together with Trump.

Canada held its parliamentary election on Monday. The victory of the Liberal Party, led by the “anti-Trump warrior” Mark Carney, will determine whether the government takes a firm stance in this “anti-American war,” refusing to yield an inch, or retreats to seek peace. Donald Trump clearly knows which outcome benefits him most. Therefore, his top enforcer, Elon Musk, has stepped in once again. Musk’s social media platform X has launched a massive “attack mode,” flooding tens of thousands of posts with covert poison arrows aimed at Carney, attempting to undermine the Liberals’ election prospects with malicious intent. Political insiders say this constitutes true “foreign interference.” Compared to this, candidate Zheng Jingji’s baseless and unsubstantiated claims of “Chinese cross-border repression” are merely clumsy campaign theatrics.
On election day, Liberal leader Carney openly opposed Trump and vowed that if elected, he would lead Canadians in determined resistance. Meanwhile, Musk’s platform X saw a flood of negative messages originating from the U.S., including fake news, sharply targeting Carney with cold arrows, clearly aiming to bring him down. The signs of American “black-hand” interference in Canada’s election are very obvious.
Compared to his opponent, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, Carney has stood firm against Trump, demonstrating remarkable courage. On the final day of campaigning, Carney passionately condemned Trump’s trade war for completely wrecking the global economy and betraying Canada. He declared that only full resistance and strong countermeasures could inflict maximum damage on the U.S. while minimizing harm to Canada. This strong and passionate speech tapped into public “anti-Trump” sentiment, stabilizing Liberal support at 42%, still slightly ahead of the Conservatives.
Since Trump launched the trade war, he has constantly boasted of “victory in sight,” but in reality, he is stuck in a quagmire, unable to advance or retreat. He is desperately trying to reach deals with some countries, and whether he can do so with Canada is critical. Carney acts like a roadblock, standing in the way. Naturally, Trump wants him to lose the election. However, election interference should not be openly conducted by officials. In the Trump’s camp, Musk, who has a history of doing dirty work, is the best candidate to act.
This is not mere speculation but can be traced through various signs. A research group at the University of Southern California studying online right-wing information found that since Canada announced the election, a coordinated network of accounts on Musk’s platform X has been continuously pushing content praising Conservative leader Poilievre and disparaging Carney, aiming to boost Poilievre’s support and reverse the election trend. During this period, over 350,000 posts with a specific political orientation appeared on X, clearly orchestrated with the motive of election interference.
Researchers found this U.S.-originated network spreading right-wing messages about the Canadian election at a very high frequency, repeatedly reposting content praising Poilievre and trashing Carney, continuing steadily with a discernible pattern.
Another organization tracking online misinformation discovered that bots on Carney’s social media platforms launched attacks against him, spreading massive negative comments and defaming images. At the same time, a flood of fake news targeting him has made it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish truth from falsehood.
There is also a sign that Musk is very likely acting behind the scenes. Months ago, he publicly praised Poilievre, openly endorsing him as Canada’s next prime minister. So it is no surprise that X is creating momentum for this “favorite horse.” Musk’s efforts to help foreign political leaders rise to power are not new. Since Trump’s return to office, Musk has repeatedly supported right-wing party leaders in Europe, openly aiding their rise and causing strong reactions in political circles worldwide. Behind these scenes is always Trump’s shadow.
Because Musk casually intervened in Canadian politics, public anger has long been stirred. Months ago, an online petition called for the government to revoke Musk’s Canadian citizenship, accusing him of using his wealth and media control to influence Canada’s election and demanding a strong stop. The call was met with overwhelming response-by early April, 370,000 people had signed, and the number continues to grow.
All these exposed facts clearly show that the real “external force” interfering in Canada’s election is the United States. This “black hand” brazenly violates Canada’s sovereignty, which is chilling.
However, anti-China politicians in Canada and “yellow-background” Hongkongers ignore or avoid discussing U.S. interference in Canadian politics. Instead, they hype up Zheng Jingji’s fabricated “Chinese cross-border repression” narrative to boost their own campaigns.
Are these people truly standing with Canadians? Are they willing to side with the “bully” Trump just to oppose China? Voters casting ballots on Monday should seriously consider this.
