Trump’s base “Well, maybe Trump has ties to Russia, but he’s tougher on China!”
First off, it’s amazing that so many Republican voters are perfectly fine with Trump being a Russian asset–but maybe that’s because they’ve swallowed the Steve Bannon fallacy that since Russia is majority white (supremacist) and Christian, they can be the next Germany or something.
BUT even if Trump voters are okay with Trump being in Putin’s pocket, they might be surprised to learn he is a Chinese asset as well…
Trump’s base “Well, maybe Trump has ties to Russia, but he’s tougher on China!”
- China and Russia are united on everything, and have been for decades. You may have noticed they almost always vote the exact same way at the UN, and prop up all the same dictatorships: Syria, Iran, Venezuela, and especially North Korea. …Both are COMMUNIST countries that think the same way (Russia wants to steal Ukraine, China wants to steal Tibet/Taiwan), and it’s completely unrealistic to think one would be backing Trump, and the other would hate him.
- Trump was literally impeached for calling not only Ukraine, BUT CHINA for dirt on Hunter Biden. Why would he feel comfortable asking China for dirt on an election rival if he weren’t confident they were backing him over Biden? If he thought they really wanted him gone, why would he have tipped his hand that way?
- John Bolton revealed a meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping asking China to buy more crops from Midwestern swing states to help his reelection…Same as point 2, why would he feel comfortable doing this if he thought the Chinese would not want him to be reelected? Notably, he has never asked Germany, Canada, or any Western democracy for such favors, and appears to know there’s no love lost with these countries.
- Ivanka and Jared—inarguably Trump’s closest advisors—have numerous ties to China. Trump even said he wanted to lift the sanctions on Chinese tech spying giant Huawei right after Xi Jinping allowed Ivanka’s merchandise to be sold there.
- Trump “talks tough” on China, but what does that really mean? Steve Bannon was his most “anti-China” advisor, and he was literally arrested on the boat of a Chinese billionaire. Bannon was also his most Islamophobic advisor, and has taken huge sums of money from Saudi Arabia.
- Another “tough talker” on China is Mitch McConnell…who is literally married to a Chinese asset, Elaine Chao. And who did Trump appoint to be his Secretary of Transportation? Elaine Chao.
- China likes American chaos and an incompetent leader that hurts our standing in the world. While Trump has been President, he has practically pushed our African allies (like Ethiopia) into China’s arms, and the same for Latin America.
- But seriously, what the hell is in those tax returns? Trump has literally sued to keep them from being released to the public. Since the IRS is under the Treasury and the Treasury is under Trump, it would be nearly impossible for them to reveal wrongdoing by him while he’s in office. [During the Town Hall Trump said he “couldn’t release them while being audited” but then also said whoever leaked part of them to the NYT “broke the law” which makes it sound like he NEVER wanted to release them.] Supposedly, he owes at least 400 million dollars to entities outside the United States, and we know at least part of that debt is to China…
- Trump literally owes tens of millions to the Bank of China. They financed one of his real estate projects, and the debt matures during what would be Trump’s second term. This was reported by Politico back in April, and I have no idea why the media hasn’t focused on this more.
- TRUMP HAS A CHINESE BANK ACCOUNT…25 MILLION DOLLARS WAS PUT INTO IT WHILE HE’S BEEN PRESIDENT.
Anyone still foolish enough to believe Trump is not China’s man is an absolute idiot.
Awesome! Yes, Russia and China are basically the same. Why are people not concerned? Great job and you need to be on Bill Mauer. He needs someone with reason.
