ā€œWeā€™re putting the trade war on hold,ā€ Mnuchin told Fox Newsā€™

Is that a confession that Trump started a ā€œtrade warā€ with China?

Hereā€™s another development in which Trump flip-flops on a trade dispute with China entirely coincidentally with the infusion of $500 million into a Trump-org project in Indonesia. No relationship between the two things what-so-ever my dears, silly of you all to even think such a thing. Oh hey laid-off steelworkersā€”there are good jobs available retrofitting houses and industries for solar, or were, until the funding got cut. So I guess youā€™re out of luck? Nobody could have seen that coming. :confused:

Oh, so the Mnooch canā€™t tell us the super duper secret planā€¦ I get it. We wouldnā€™t understand it anyway, the depth and complexity of it.

They can always move to China and look for work there - Trump is determined to save Chinese jobs.

And of course it was a quid pro quo - the odor of it stinks up the whole universe.

Not $500 Million, but $1 Billion!

Additional Chinese Banks pledged an additional $500 million so the project has a billion in Chinese funding.

In Chinese terms, thatā€™s chump-change.

Well, I guess Iā€™m just going to have to do better keeping up with how many hundreds of millions of dollars the Chinese are giving the Trump organization. Somebody has to, because Iā€™m sure the President of the United States is focused on the peopleā€™s business, not the ups and downs of his own. Otherwiseā€”but no, no, never mind. Iā€™m sure heā€™s focused on making the right decisions.
