Either they don't cause he's too unpredictable or they attempt it cause he'll show he won't interviene. Idk anymore but I'm almost positive China is going to attempy to take Taiwan no matter who's in office, tbh, they have promised as much and does it really matter when they do it at that point. Probably better for them to try sooner before they have expanded their military capability and naval capability, I'd feel safer now that ten years down the line where they're more efficient militarily. Just me though, another war in another region with new players is adding more to a hot ww3. It's difficult to quantify the right time or under the right leadership of each side for something like that cause there is too many factors at play. 

And I say attempt because someone on this site eased my fears, they said Taiwan is not just an Island in the middle of the South China Sea, it is a very capable island in the middle of the SCS well prepared to handle an invasion, trained and drilled for the event even from a China with a well outfitted Naval capability down the road and they only continue to up their preparedness. It's not a take it or not siutationam and after someone mentioned that, Ryuu I think, and I looked into it my fears went out the window cause it very likely isn't going to work out in China's favour, if they do get onto the Island and manage to hold part of it, it'll be very much the same deal as Ukraine and all the US or it's neighbours like Japan, Austrialia and the philipines etc would have to do is back it in the same way and avoid direct intervention. Also, I just want to add how unlikely it is that they'd get onto the island, It's doubtful the Americans would even be able to do it with their full might and would end up having to bomb the ever living shit out of the island first. 

Alas, I think Trump caught up to speed on the importance of Taiwan would make the correct call. He'll probably even set up infrastructure in the US to get out of this dead lock and look for rare earth materials elsewhere knowing what's at stake. And let's not forget he hates China.  

Hates china!!?¿?????? Hope so!

Lol. Did you not see the first term. 😉 Chy-nah! Chy-nah this. Chy-nah that. He was the first president in daceds to step back from interlocking the US and Chinese economies as a deterrent from thucydides trap. Now it can be argued extensively if that is a good move or a bad move but he definitely does not like Chy-NAH.
