This was one of my big fears about Trump. I posted to AN about it several times. I think he's capable of doing a 180 on China. It's already happening with Tik Tok. Trump actually initiated the ban on Tik Tok but now says he has "a warm place in my heart" for it. Watch out for Trump trying for a Nixon Goes to China moment.

You have all the presidents and recent memory he is perhaps the one who can most easily be bought and paid for after all it only requires the proper kind of compliment. 

But I know someone who is right behind him.

The Trump Organization plans to build a Trump Tower in the Saudi capital Riyadh

I wonder what caused that bizarre decision? Riyadh is a <deleted> hole in the middle of a desert. Immensely wealthy and incredibly boring. Every interesting site can be seen in an afternoon. It's already got a heap of international hotels.

Jeddah would be a far better choice of locations.

IMO Trump knows how damaging tariffs can be to the U.S. consumer and has only used the threat of tariffs to get some concessions out of XI, whatever they may be.  Some may say concessions that will benefit Trump, personally.  I don't deny that but I think his prime motivation is to catch, for lack of betters words, off guard. 

No matter what, XI knows Trump is not bluffing if he doesn't get anything out of it.

In Trump's last Presidency, the tariffs he put on China were a disaster for American farmers. Just like removing illegal immigrants will be a disaster for food production.

 

Somewhere on YouTube there's an Arkansas sweet potato farmer telling Americans to quit eating, if he has no illegals. Because the ones he employs are the only people who will pick his crops for $100 a day.

 

Trump makes threats all the time. They usually rebound on him if he actually goes through with them.

It's called 'free speech, expression' and not social platform should be banned.  If operating within the law, and not harmful.

 

Benning, restricting thinking out loud,  is simply censorship :coffee1:

Nixon's China move in the 70s was, in retrospect, not a bad idea.  Like it or not, the US cannot afford any kind or conflict with China.  And back then, as now, there were geopolitical concerns.  Anyway, today China has its own problems.  They probably can't afford any kind of conflict either.  They just want to do business.  

 

We'll see what happens with Trump's tariffs.

The whole tic tok storm is American jealousy! China beat them in their own game...

 

I did not include the words Tik Tok in my post. You have to quote from the poster that I quoted, not from my post.

Trump has shown to foreign countries that he can be bought as POTUS. 

 

America is for sale, and he is the cashier.
