No wonder the Chinese government prefers him. Trade war?
Just give him the adult version of a lollipop, and he's tofu in their hands.

(11,301 posts)This isn't particularly smart .. and indeed flies in the face of reality. The Trump administration, and it's crazy assed trade wars, has meant real hardship for the Chinese economy. So .. they must be holding this "just pay him money" strategy in reserve for the second 4 years?
Has it occurred to you that you might be getting played .. just a little bit?
