The Commerce Department loosened the financial nose around Huawei neck just to show the Chinese they know Trump is a dick. Trump banned Huawei from buying or selling in the U.S. unless the American company has a license. Trump will pass out the Huawei licenses to companies that are in the 5G network race.
Mr. Trump scored a three-pointer with his move to ban Huawei and his 15 percent tariff increase on $200 billion worth of Chinese exports. Plus, he plans to dump the rest of China’s exports to the U.S. in that same economic-busting tariff basket.
President Xi told the press he not going to end up looking like Kim Jon Un looked when Trump threw Hanoi sand in his face on the way out the door. Xi said China will come back to the trade table when Trump’s drops the tariff percentage down to its normal level. And he can’t continue to tweet-bash China or he’ll make Alibaba buy Twitter.
Don McGahn was a no-show on Capitol Hill. Trump told Don he can’t tell that firing Mueller story to Congress. McGahn doesn’t want to mess up his business relationship with the White House. McGahn’s law firm does a lot of legal work for the government. And McGahn’s name is in the Mueller report more than any other name, according to the New York Times.
Bob Mueller will testify at some point, but it may not be a public hearing. Bob wants to tell the real story to Congress. Congress will have to leak the other juicy parts of the Mueller version of Trump’s wild ride to the White House in Putin’s Hackmobile.
Iran feels violated by Mr. Trump and John Bolton. Bolton has a warmongering organism every time he sees pictures of that War Fleet he sent to the Middle East. Prince Salman got dressed in camo headgear and he threw his keys to his part of the world in Trump’s corner when he saw all that firepower. Nancy Pelosi told Trump to put Bolton in a straightjacket. Congress gets to pick who to bomb next.
The North Korean Ambassador to the UN, Kim Song, told UN members Trump stole their sovereign property when he took the Wise Honest Cargo ship for a joyride to American Samoa. Mr. Kim told UN members Kim Jon Un is ready to serve up some missile-firing badass if Trump doesn’t get his ass back to Asia to finish his real estate deal and drop the sanctions.
