Which bodes ill for America.

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/08/trumps-fabricated-china-phone-call-is-a-serious-escalation-of-his-lying-which-bodes-ill-for-america-reporter/

On Monday, President Donald Trump was once again busted in a lie after claiming the government of China called him and asked to restart talks over his disastrous trade war.

But this seems more egregious than a typical Trump lie, wrote CNN contributor Garrett Graff as an attempt to mislead world powers about the state of international diplomacy, it could have serious consequences for Americas ability to conduct discussions of any sort, especially in an international crisis situation:

Trumps tariff hikes on Chinese goods in 2018 alone cost consumers $32 billion, threatening jobs and economic activity across the country. But there is no sign China is interested in negotiating for a deal to end the standoff.

Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has suggested that China doesnt even need to negotiate with the United States they may decide to just step back, let Trumps tariffs ruin his own economy, and negotiate with the next administration when people vote Trump out over the losses.

Yeah no this is definitely not the first time he's done this.

His China trade war is one of the few things I wonder about. Could be good, could be bad. It does curb outsourcing a little, even if I'm not sure that's the reason he did it. Honestly who the fuck knows.

I know plenty of people backpedaling away from Trump. It's amazing to watch them.

As an apolitical guy, I'm far more annoyed by the media constantly hounding Trump and over blowing nearly everything he does than whatever they're complaining about. I'm not saying this particular incident isn't a "big deal", but I'm just so tired of these headlines that I don't even care anymore one way or the other.

The next sad part would be if the people wanting to challenge Trump for Repub candidacy "magically" forget their criticisms when he retains his position in their party, and they rally behind him for another election. Then the Dems select someone so underwhelming, and the third party voters are once again blamed for Trump being Pres when you can probably break down their votes to districts that go blue anyways (or crap for difference in red districts). Yeah, this sad tale is totally going to happen, but let's keep laughing at the Repubs only "now" speaking out until it becomes inconvenient for them to do so.

Damn, I hate politics.

That's what I've been telling my friends. Trump's approached the China situation so idiotically even if you agree that they're manipulating their currency (they are, though so do we via the Fed, we just can't do it as freely as they can).
China has no real incentive to make things less contentious, and all the incentive to let the turmoil get worse. China's leaders can weather the storm of an economic depression much longer than Trump can, especially w/ his re-election coming in a year.

I'm genuinely rooting for Trump to not back down. Go get 'em, tiger! Make the tariffs even higher! Been waiting for like 5 fucking years for the next recession so I can finally buy into the stock market and purchase a house. Having it help boot Trump from office as well is just icing!

"Hold on, my phone is ringing."

*picks up totally silent cellphone and puts it to his ear*

"Oh, hello China. You want to start negotiating? Great. My people will talk to your people."

*puts away his phone*

"That was China. They want to start negotiating again. I'm the best negotiator."

It would at least match up with what he said during debates about wanting to "bring jobs back to America" as he put it.

Why would you think Trump didn't draw up ironclad prenups to prevent her from getting any money in a divorce? All she would get is child support.

He's a politician, he'd smear her so hard he'd get the kids and she'd be paying child support.
Well at least if certain people were the judge for the case, I mean he has some people basically eating out of the palm of his hand. To some, he can do no wrong, so...

Afik she wasnt exactly poor herself when she married him not mega rich sure but she was well off I understand. Im sure a prenup unless she was dumb af would at the very least see to it she left with what she came in with.

She probably wouldn't get half due to prenups, but no prenup in the world is going to keep a supposed billionaire like Trump from having to fork over a hefty chunk of money to someone who's been married to him as long as her. Plenty enough for her to live on, even if she never worked again nor married someone else.
