Ask Me Help Desk - Definition of Insanity ala Trump

Hello again, A:

Speaking of Trumps unhinged demeanor, I've noticed something very strange.. BEFORE the election HE was the BULLY.. HE was top dog.. HE controlled the discussion. He VANQUISHED every Republican they put up against him. But, that was then, and this is now.

AFTER the election, we have VICTIM Trump. We have SNIVELING Trump because he wasn't treated fairly. We have PARANOID Trump who BELIEVES everybody is out to get him including the deep state (whatever that means). We have LYING Trump who calls the intelligence agencies Nazi's, and Barack Obama SICK.

Gone, is the self assured winner.. Present, is the LOSER-in-CHIEF.. That ain't good for us.

Really Tom that's the only thing that bothers you. This man has told you he is not going to undo law around immigration

There was never anything wrong with immigration law. It is the enforcement that is lacking .

Yup ,the Chinese chased a B-1 Bomber away in the East China Sea, off of South Korea ,and claimed it as Chinese air space. Their claims in their surrounding waters is roughly the size of Nazi Germany . The European powers allowed Hitler to expand emboldening him .He was actually suprised when he miscalculated that England and France would declare was when he invaded Poland ;so often he had gotten away with territorial grabs.
Well ,today Scarborough Shoal could very well be Poland . We need a strong President ,and I don't believe we have one .

What! You have'nt been listening? Dump has told you how good he is, how strong he is, but he has done nothing about the South China Sea because short of war there is nothing he can do

of course there is plenty to be done short of war . But the President has to have huevos .
Sadly that has been lacking for over 8 years .

For one thing ,his Sec State Tillerson supposedly spoke harshly to the Chinese in private . But his public comments were deferral . He should be speaking just as harshly in public about the Chinese regime as he did privately. He should let them know now that we will not bow to them as the emperor did.

Herr Donald conceded to China before his administration began by saying that he would support the 1 China policy . Now he is going to host Xi Jinping in Mara Largo instead of having him visit the White House . .....mistake . Every time the Chinese want leverage ,they get the NORKS to do something provocative .Then we ;conditioned like Pavlov's dog ,go running to the Chinese and ask them to intervene. The Chinese build up bargaining chips in that way that they use when dealing with issues like the South and East China Sea. Screw them . Next time the NORKS do something we should unplug the Chinese banks from the global financial system . After all ;the NORKS would not exist if there wasn't big time money laundering helping NK's illicit commerce, especially purchasing components for their nuclear weapons. BTW ,the Chinese economy will be in free fall by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,or slightly after . They need us much more than we need them .

It is true that you have strong trade links, but so does the rest of the world. The chinese have been busy with their diplomacy of late ensuring their relationships with others are strong. What would happen if you unplugged yourself from the flow of chinese crap? You would do as much harm to yourselves. You need the chinese to keep the lid on NK, because NK don't listen to you, you are the enemy

The Chinese are keeping a lid on NK? Really? Hate to see them take the lid off!

So would I, if they take the lid off Kim will march south to commit the same madness that was committed nearly 70 years ago because he thinks he has the chinese at his back, but the chinese have more to loose than he does.

They extract too heavy a price. The NORKS would be nothing without Chinese subsidizing a dangerously dysfunctional dynasty . I say hold the Chinese accountable for the NORKS activities .

They would lose badly and if the Chinese supported them ,they would pay a heavy price that they can't afford . The Chinese are working against their own self interest there . A much better option would be to unify the peninsula under South Korean rule . Trust me ,they would be a great trading partner with the Chinese . The Kim clan offers the Chinese nothing .

Unfortunately you are dealing with ideology here, fellow communists and all that, and useful to throw rhetoric at the US that the chinese can't. The chinese don't want another democratic nation on their borders, they already have to contend with Japan, Taiwan, India, Pakistan, Russia giving the lie to communist utopia. Their people might learn how much better it is in the west. Many already know
