None of them seem to be concerned.
I have been watching 2 different channels since 6:00 a.m..
The lies in that small time span is nothing short of amazing

They are all sickening and dangerous, meaning the politicians and the talking heads.

If we can convince the Chinese that Trump's outbursts on Twitter are just the ravings of a narcissist who won't actually make foreign policy decisions, there might be a way of talking to China without risking conflicts.
