Not foreign policy (unless you're Trump) but yes conflict of interest.

 

 

Literally just reading this. Beat me to it zoogs.

 

You know you'd think the at least some of the folks who freaked out about the Clinton Foundation (a charity...!) would be up in arms about this. But nope, now that the shoe is on the other foot, I guess it's just the old boys taking care of one another.

That's what I saw too. CNN actually has a short column about this "incident".  I think the man is a clown, but I can kind of sympathize with his disdain for CNN and other media outlets when they try to create a context that isn't based in reality.

 

Obama fist bumped his wife and Fox had a whole segment on it being a "terrorist fist bump." I don't recall Obama losing his mind in press conferences and tweets calling Fox "Fake News."  He handled it like an adult. 

 

If scrutiny from the press is too much for you to handle, you aren't fit for office.

Let's see how balance our trade is wt China in 2 years.

These are the 37 major deals US firms signed with Chinese entities during Trump's visit

  • The Commerce Department has revealed the 37 major deals signed between U.S. and Chinese companies during President Donald Trump's trip through Asia, totaling more than $250 billion.
  • The deals coincide with President Donald Trump's visit to China, where he was accompanied by a delegation of nearly 30 CEOs from major American companies.
  • "Deals can provide a solid foundation for a stronger relationship that is more free, fair, and reciprocal between the U.S. and China," said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

 

According to Chinese customs data, China's trade surplus with the U.S. expanded by 12.2 percent in October from a year earlier to $26.6 billion. For the first 10 months of the year, the total surplus widened to $223 billion. China is the U.S.'s No. 3 export market, just behind Canada and Mexico.
