    China Has Committed $500 Million to Indonesian Development That Will Include Trump Hotels and a Trump Golf Course.
    On Sunday, Donald Trump surprised his own advisers and reversed U.S. policy by announcing on Twitter that he wanted to lift U.S. sanctions on the Chinese telecom company ZTE. On Monday, Trump explained that the move was in part a personal favor to China’s president, Xi Jinping.
    "This clearly benefits the Trump Organization, and therefore its owner Donald Trump," said Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe. He added that it is irrelevant if the benefit came "indirectly" from China through the Indonesian company.
    Holy cow Batman, he isn't even trying to hide his corruption any more. Send the dotard in chief to jail. Directly to jail, do not pass go.

    We simply don't know if this is a corrupt kickback or the kind of run of mill policy incoherence we've become accustomed to from Team Drumpf. We do know two things though. 1. We shouldn't have to wonder because no prez should be in a position to profit from a decision he makes. 2. If this was something Hillary was involved in hysteria would break out among the cultists and Trey Gowdy would be launching investigation number 112.

    Is there an equivalence between that and Drumpf possibly changing US policy towards a Chinese telecom company doing business with N. Korea and Iran, that in the view of a bi-partisan congressional report and the Commerce Dept. represented a security threat to the US, in order to make millions from a development in Indonesia aided by $500M from the Chinese government?

    The internet is your friend and if you'd bothered to use it, you wouldn't have had to embarrass yourself asking this question.

    Boy if you think only Jews are anti Trump, then you do live in a world of fake news and alternative facts. As a matter of real fact, Trump is just about the biggest supporter Israel has had in a very long time. So what does that say about your anti-Semitic attitude?
    ANY half way intelligent human being, anywhere on this planet, who isn't actually reaping a fortune from Trump's agenda, is opposed to the dotard in chief.
    I bet you are one of those who think that by no longer having FICA deducted from your pay check, you have been given a tax break. rotflmao
