And on and on with this guy. His name comes up in a course (that was written before his tenure) that warns young apprentices to be wise with their earnings and not go bankrupt. Joker. Lier. Racist. Little. Tiny. Loser. Bankrupt. My country takes the world stage as a B actor with him as director. I'm not sure how anyone could support him and not find themselves labeled as being a supporter of racist ideals. He's beyond the rocker at this point.

LGR4GM Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) There's mounting evidence that Trump's entire China policy has been predicated on the idea that the Chinese will do things to help him win the election. Quote HD REVIEW --- The Scandal Of Trump's China Policy --- The president pleaded with Chinese leader Xi Jinping for domestic political help, subordinated national-security issues to his own reelection prospects and ignored Beijing's human-rights abuses, writes former national security adviser John Bolton. AU John Bolton BY By John Bolton WC 1710 words PD 20 June 2020 SN The Wall Street Journal SC J PG C1 LA English CY Copyright 2020 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. TD ... President Donald Trump in some respects embodies the growing U.S. concern about China. He appreciates the key truth that politico-military power rests on a strong economy. Trump frequently says that stopping China's unfair economic growth at America's expense is the best way to defeat China militarily, which is fundamentally correct. But the real question is what Trump does about China's threat... ...After I became Trump's national security adviser in April 2018, I had the most futile role of all: I wanted to fit China trade policy into a broader strategic framework. We had a good slogan, calling for a "free and open Indo-Pacific" region. But a bumper sticker is not a strategy, and we struggled to avoid being sucked into the black hole of U.S.-China trade issues. ... With the November 2018 midterm elections looming, there was little progress on the China trade front. Attention turned to the coming Buenos Aires G-20 summit the following month, when Xi and Trump could meet personally. Trump saw this as the meeting of his dreams, with the two big guys getting together, leaving the Europeans aside, cutting the big deal. In Buenos Aires on Dec. 1, at dinner, Xi began by telling Trump how wonderful he was, Xi read steadily through note cards, doubtless all of it hashed out arduously in advance. Trump ad-libbed, with no one on the U.S. side knowing what he would say from one minute to the next. One highlight came when Xi said he wanted to work with Trump for six more years, and Trump replied that people were saying that the two-term constitutional limit on presidents should be repealed for him. Xi said the U.S. had too many elections, because he didn't want to switch away from Trump, who nodded approvingly. Xi finally shifted to substance, describing China's positions: The U.S. would roll back Trump's existing tariffs, and both parties would refrain from competitive currency manipulation and agree not to engage in cyber thievery (how thoughtful). The U.S. should eliminate Trump's tariffs, Xi said, or at least agree to forgo new ones. "People expect this," said Xi, and I feared at that moment that Trump would simply say yes to everything Xi had laid out. I cut about 75% of it but here ya go.

LGR4GM Posted July 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Rapidly charging towards Fascism. If you don't think this is an attempt for Trump to lie more and hide the truth that he has completely failed the country as a leader, you don't understand the endgame here. Just wait until around the election when data for certain places will suddenly spike so in person elections are "unsafe".
