Trump supporters and conspiracy theory - Part 2

[Paul May]

The POTUS and the conman. Same guy.

Trump-owned properties in the US have imported more than 8 tons of Chinese goods since September

President Donald Trump's US properties have imported tons of Chinese goods since September, according to a CNN report on Tuesday.

Chinese-made cabinets and tables were reportedly shipped to the Trump International Hotel in New York and Trump National Gulf Club Los Angeles.

Trump has long lauded himself as being "tough on China" and pledged to address the trade deficit between the two countries.
The reported Trump-owned business dealings come after presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden released his proposal to boost American business.

President Donald Trump's US properties imported more than eight tons of Chinese goods since September, according to a CNN analysis.

More than six tons of tables were shipped to Trump International Hotel in New York last fall and two tons of cabinets were delivered to Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles in May, CNN reported.

On the 2016 campaign trail and throughout his presidency, Trump has accused China of unfair trade practices and pledged to address the trade deficit between the two countries.

As part of his "America First" policy, Trump entered a months-long tariff war with Beijing and has pressured American companies to redirect their business within the U.S.

Trump's "tough on China" stance appeared to soften in early January when a phase one trade deal was reached, though soon afterward he escalated attacks on Beijing after the coronavirus outbreak began. Over the past few months he has repeatedly used racist slurs like "kung flu" and "Wuhan virus" as part of his attempt to blame on China for the spread of the disease, which has been devastating the U.S.

Trump has used China as a campaign talking point in an attempt to distinguish himself from presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who he has claimed is "weak on China" and "China's puppet."

The news of Trump Organization's dealings come after Biden released his $700 billion campaign proposal last week aiming to boost the economy by emphasizing investment in American products and research, a plan that White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has dubbed as "blatantly ripping off" Trump's agenda.

Biden campaign's spokesperson tweeted the CNN story on Tuesday and wrote: "No wonder @JoeBiden's "Buy American" agenda triggered Trumps so much."

  Trump's disdain regarding Foreign Trade Partners has Never been restricted to China. Many HATERS around here have forgotten about Trump railing during the 2016 Campaign regarding NAFTA/MEXICO. Trump's canceling of the NAFTA SHAFTA led to the current agreement along with the cooperation of Mexico's current Pres to place Their forces on the USA/Mexico border in order to restore order there. Trump put the screws to China which led to the current China Agreement Phase. China was brought to their knees after suffering there Worst economic year outta the last 65 years. This USA economic dominance has also been leveraged by Trump to dominate these same countries militarily. Foreign Trade/Policy is a Landslide Winning Issue for Trump 2020.

You’re no different than his press secretary. In your case, you totally ignore the posting AGAIN and go off on your propaganda BS. Why is Trumps private company buying tons of merchandise from China? What happened to his “Buy American” rhetoric? I notice also you make no mention of his tariff policy against China which raises retail prices for the American consumer up to 18%. Now I have to school you on economics? You were already schooled on polling. Answer the questions you’re asked and cut the propaganda Bs.

  "NOBODY", Repeat "NOBODY" pays 18% Extra $$, or any Extra $$  for a Chinese Made Product if they BUY AMERICAN made products.

Stupid comment. Ignores completely that American made products are normally more expensive to begin with.

  Why do you believe last year China had such a Horrible Economic year? Trump knew what he was doing with his tariffs driving the prices of China products UP resulting in their sales being Down. This placed China at the bargaining table in a very compromised position.

Der Bleater is threatening to come out daily before the cameras and attempt to "talk his way out of this"!

He's back: Trump to re-up virus briefings amid lagging polls
https://apnews.com/bfb8402551605ff40d8a16efbd827b92
 · WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump sought to paint a rosier picture of the coronavirus for the nation Tuesday but conceded the pandemic is likely to get worse for a time as he revived his daily briefings with an eye to halting a campaign-season erosion of support as new cases spike across the country....

Any viewer he manages to "change the mind of", cannot have much of a mind, and anyone else receptive to his new round of self-promotion is already a deplorable. Don't call this attraction cult-like behavior? Suggest a more succinct dynamic to explain the attraction than "cult-like"!

Judy Lynn Shelton (born 1953 or 4, age 66 or 67) is an American economic advisor to President Donald Trump.[1] She is known for her advocacy for a return to the gold standard and for her criticisms of the Federal Reserve.[2][3][4] Trump announced on July 2, 2019, that he would nominate Shelton to the Fed, and her nomination is currently pending in the Senate.[5][6][7]....

...Politics..... In 2000, she advocated for open borders with Mexico.[14]

Views on monetary policy
Shelton is known as a critic of the Federal Reserve.[3][4] She said in 2011 that the Federal Reserve is "almost a rogue agency," and asked whether it could be trusted in having oversight of the dollar.[18] "She has called for a 0% inflation target, contradicting the bank's current 2% target.[19] She has written that a "fundamental question" of economics is "why do we need a central bank?"[20] Shelton has criticized the Federal Reserve's longstanding policy of independence from the White House, saying in 2019 interview that she saw "no reference to independence" in the Fed's authorizing legislation.[21] Shelton describes herself as "highly skeptical" of the Federal Reserve's "nebulous" dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability. [22]

During the Obama years, she criticized the Federal Reserve's low interest rates.[23][24][25] During the Trump presidency, she advocated for the Federal Reserve to adopt lower interest rates as a form of economic stimulus. (Trump frequently criticized the Federal Reserve for not lowering interest rates.)[2][23][26] She supports the Republican Party's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and the Trump administration's deregulative agenda.[4] Before Trump became president, she was a longtime advocate for free trade, but after he became president, she supported his administration's trade war with China.[4][14]

Shelton opposes federal deposit insurance. In her 1994 book "Money Meltdown," she writes that "Eliminating federal deposit insurance would restore the essential character of banking as a vehicle for channeling financial capital into productive investment while striving to meet the risk and timing preference of depositors.[27]

Shelton is a long-time proponent of pegging the value of the dollar to gold.[28] In 2019, she said that she hoped for a new Bretton Woods-style conference where countries would agree to return to the gold standard, saying, "If it takes place at Mar-a-Lago that would be great."[29] Mar-a-Lago is a club run by President Trump.

Shelton supports a highly integrated financial system, including a global common currency[30] and a universal gold reserve bank.[31]

Nomination to Federal Reserve
On July 3, 2019, President Donald Trump used his Twitter account to announce his intention to nominate Shelton and a regional Fed official, Christopher Waller, to the Federal Reserve board. His previous nominees, former presidential contender Herman Cain and economic commentator Stephen Moore, had withdrawn for lack of Senate support.[15][32] During the months in which Shelton was being considered for the post by Trump, she was a guest at Trump's D.C. hotel.[15]...

President Trump has made more than 20,000 false or misleading claims
By Glenn Kessler, Salvador Rizzo and Meg Kelly
July 13, 2020 at 3:00 a.m. EDT

It took President Trump 827 days to top 10,000 false and misleading claims in The Fact Checker’s database, an average of 12 claims a day.

But on July 9, just 440 days later, the president crossed the 20,000 mark — an average of 23 claims a day over a 14-month period,
....The coronavirus pandemic has spawned a whole new genre of Trump’s falsehoods. The category in just a few months has reached nearly 1,000 claims, more than his tax claims combined. Trump’s false or misleading claims about the impeachment investigation — and the events surrounding it — contributed almost 1,200 entries to the database.

The notion that Trump would exceed 20,000 claims before he finished his term appeared ludicrous when The Fact Checker started this project during the president’s first 100 days in office. In that time, Trump averaged fewer than five claims a day, which would have added up to about 7,000 claims in a four-year presidential term. But the tsunami of untruths just keeps looming larger and larger....
