    emptywheel Retweeted Donald J. Trump

    Why stop there? By all means let's look at how you made the US less safe so Ivanka could get some trademarks. But let's also look at the nefarious deals her spouse is making w/Israel, KSA, and UAE.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1030782921500766209 …

    All of the fools that are so focused on looking only at Russia should start also looking in another direction, China. But in the end, if we are smart, tough and well prepared, we will get along with everyone!

        Ha, you know, he's sort of supporting one the dossier memos where Steele said that DJT's Russia affair was distracting from his and his family's other shady business dealings in countries like China, Azerbaijan, Panama etc

        Just China. If it weren't disinformation they'd have mentioned the other two. ;p

        To be fair, China surely is America’s number one global rival

        Undoubtedly. But if Trump understood the parallelism he is using here, it would suggest he's making a point about the specific kind of threat China poses, because of his willingness to make corrupt deals, not its general rivalry with us.

        After the tax cut, the Federal government is running largely on debt. China holds an inordinate amount of Treasuries. Once our economy is on the ropes due to the escalating tariffs & rising interest rates, they can deal an economic killshot by flooding the market with U.S. debt.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if China and Russia weren’t working together to make America suffer economically so that we aren’t the global currency for oil anymore.

        Aren't Russia and China are selling their US Treasury bonds and buying up all the gold they can get their hands on?This will shield them from the US government's ability to control the value of their holdings?

        Replying to @wotadog @emptywheel

        First, gold would be a terrible choice. If both moved out of Treasuries and Treasuries plummeted in price, gold prices would rise. Losing proposition. Second, if they don’t want government control of assets, they want to invest in crypto. Russians already are. China may be, too.

        Also, is he so sure he wants to bring up China, considering his pal Broidy is being investigated for selling them access to the WH? Or maybe we should take a look at Erik Prince’s “security training school” in Beijing?

        We really need to take a close look at all the way the administration is making America great again. Maybe the real problem is he never knew what “great” meant in the first place.

        The wording of this tweet is really strange. He seems to be saying that not only is he in bed with Russia, but that he ALSO has shady dealings with China. He is basically admitting to trying to develop a Russian/US/China Hegemoney.

        Does that include overthrowing the Saudi gov't with a couple of other psychopaths?

        Steele Dossier said at a time they were happy Russia was brought up because it took the focus off China (Bannon maybe?). Wonder if that part was inaccurate?

        Agreed. Also I'm guessing he tweeted something he overheard a handler say, not understanding what they actually meant. (I constantly search for bright spots)
