Ok, the former is a pretty obvious observation that I doubt anyone disagreed with. One of Trump's media strategies is to constantly hammer home some obvious point without offering any specific solutions, so that other people take the blame if their ideas fail, but he can take credit if something works.
So yes, Trump was right about China. I don't think a trade war will help the situation, but if it fails he can just say all his idiot predecessors dug a hole too deep for anyone to get out of.
I don't agree that he's being particularly consistent, I think you're just forgetting a lot of his unfulfilled promises because he made so many vague and sometimes contradictory ones. Not sure how up-to-date it is, but try this site for some examples: https://trumptracker.github.io/ https://trumptracker.github.io/
Even a lot of promises from his uncharacteristically specific Contract with the American Voter are unfulfilled: https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/_landings/contract/O-TRU-102316-Contractv02.pdf https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/_landings/contract/O-TRU-102...
