Thread: Trump just backed down from a big trade fight with China

I like this bill. Didn't know it had passed both chambers, and is now in conference committee. This organization CFIUS is the same entity that during the Obama Administartion approved the sale of 20% of our uranium to Russia. There clearly needs to be new rules, not only aimed at China but aimed at all foreign investors so we can stop as much of this stupidity of selling our companies and resources to foreign governments and foreign businesses. I'm still not over the hostile takeover of Anheuser-Busch by the Belgians. You don't think that's a matter of national security? Just you try having a good war without plenty of beer.

If Trump told me there was a bus about to hit me and I actually heard the bus behind me, I'd think a few moments to actually believe him on anything...

President Dump is a giant:

LOL!!! Well, I hesitated to post the article because it's a leftist hate Trump "Vox" article with a misleading title and erroneous bent to it, but every once in awhile they actually report even if biased on happenings no one else takes time for. Trump didn't back down on China, his actions drove Congress to act and having permanent laws is far better to fix a problem than a temporary executive action that I don't think would even be legal to begin with. Trump won on this, not only against China but against any other thieving country or silly American company that wants to give away its intellectual property to a foreign government/or business to increase market share or cash out. This new set of laws will prevent a stupid money-grubbing Hillary from approving the sale of uranium to the Russians, it will prevent the sale of American technology to the Chinese, and many other dangerous deals cooked up by crooked politicians and corrupt businesses who care more for their wallets than the country that protects them.

I wasn't commenting on the facts of the article because truly I have written off the media as a wholesale lying apparatus of the rich and powerful.

I was commenting on my view of President Dump and where I stand

I see, okay. So why do you think President Trump is President Dump? Is he dumping on you in some way?

After weeks of anticipation, President Donald Trump has decided to back down from a hard-hitting policy that would sharply restrict Chinese investment in the US — opting to work with Congress on a more modest measure instead.

President Trump seems to do that when there's a little heat in the kitchen (back down).

Dump as in trash dump.
Until Trump can be of serious use for the American People on the border, he is figuratively placed in the trash
like every other thing that has lost its usefulness.

If he can serve the American People without wavering, we can figuratively take him out of the garbage pile.

Like a gat dayum garage sale!
