For a Russian puppet, Trump sure is eager to do whatever China asks

This keeps bugging me.

Preventing the TPP was China's #1 goal, and Trump made it a centerpiece of his campaign

China has tried for years to get the "win-win" mutuality language from the US, and Trump just handed it to them for free

Trump is publicly complaining about China devaluing their currency, when they've been trying to prop it up for about 5 years now (and Trump's complaints make that easier for them)

Trump has ceded world leadership on renewable energy development to China, who intend to make it a central part of their economy

(Even before Trump, Russia only got Snowden's documents after China had "inspected" them)

Maybe China is just better at this than everybody else.

1. China is okay. I just have this feeling trump is hiding money in a russian bank under

a fake name. I read that 60 years ago rich people hid money in swiss bank accounts to avoid paying taxes on it to the Irs.

2. I don't see how the Chinese president gets through 2 days without calling BLOTUS an idiot.

3. That will be interesting. Xi is no fool, though

I expect this, unfortunately, to be a two-day fire sale on US positions and interests

4. He has major deals/loans involving Bank of China and Kushner family has major China finance deals

He is undoubtedly friendly towards China to advance his (and Kushner's) personal business agenda as NY Times and other sources have reported, Bank of China and Chinese investors have thrown him and Kushners lifelines when they got in over their heads in debt.
