Two tweets from the president Wednesday showed that Trump's attention is on Democratic 2020 frontrunner Joe Biden even as he prepares for the most crucial trade talks of his presidency.

Biden's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump's tweets from CNBC. But U.S. trade policy, and in particular Biden's record as a vocal advocate of free trade and multi-lateral agreements, has already surfaced as a top issue in the both the Democratic primary and increasingly in Trump's still-evolving 2020 campaign platform.

With the 2020 election just 18 months away, Trump is under ever-increasing pressure to deliver on those promises. As his third major presidential campaign gets underway, Biden is already drawing criticism from the left of his party for downplaying the threat Chinese competition poses to U.S. union-backed manufacturing industries. At a campaign stop in Iowa last week, he appeared to dismiss concerns about China's geopolitical ascendancy. "China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man," he said.

"When people take a look at my record versus Vice President Biden's record, I helped lead the fight against NAFTA; he voted for NAFTA," Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders told CNN shortly after Biden launched his campaign last month. "I helped lead the fight against [permanent normalized trade relations] with China; he voted for it. I strongly opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership; he supported it."on China.

Lots of fun watching the machines pour in. As soon as the SPX goes somewhere, I get the cue to check my Twitter feed.

This Chinese asset wants to be President. I don’t think so.
