Swiss president to talk trade with Trump

He told the Secret Service agent at the gate that he had gotten the pig for Hillary.

The Secret Service agent responded: “good trade”.

Trump will talk trade with the Swiss? Hmmm? I suspect it may have more to do with their bank accounts than trade but maybe that’s just me.

Trump can call China about talking with the Swiss after he’s called the state dept. for their “expertise”.
