Trump Is a Chinese Agent (Barf Alert)
NY Times ^ | 03/29/17 | Thomas L. Friedman

Posted on 03/29/2017 11:59:16 AM PDT by Enlightened1

The big story everyone is chasing is whether President Trump is a Russian stooge. Wrong. That’s all a smoke screen. Trump is actually a Chinese agent. He is clearly out to make China great again. Just look at the facts.

Trump took office promising to fix our trade imbalance with China, and what’s the first thing he did? He threw away a U.S.-designed free-trade deal with 11 other Pacific nations — a pact whose members make up 40 percent of global G.D.P.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership was based largely on U.S. economic interests, benefiting our fastest-growing technologies and agribusinesses, and had more labor, environmental and human rights standards than any trade agreement ever. And it excluded China. It was our baby, shaping the future of trade in Asia.

Imagine if Trump were negotiating with China now as not only the U.S. president but also as head of a 12-nation trading bloc based on our values and interests. That’s called l-e-v-e-r-a-g-e, and Trump just threw it away … because he promised to in the campaign — without, I’d bet, ever reading TPP. What a chump! I can still hear the clinking of champagne glasses in Beijing.

Wow talk about desperation!

I guess the "Trump is a Russian Agent" narrative isn't selling the public?

Thus, the rat media pivots and quadrupoles down on disinformation. Now they are going to run with the Trump is a communist Chinese agent.

Unfreaking believable!

These Leftist are nuts!....... Plus they know Hillary is about to be in trouble for collaborating with the Communist Chinese. Thus, they are trying to muddy up the waters and confuse the public.

NY Times op-ed clowns like Friedman et al. are constant proof of the total corruption and incompetence of our self-styled “elite” chattering class. They get showered with Pulitzers etc. and they are total dolts.

The NY Times got its first Pulitzer for helping Stalin starve several million Ukrainian farmers. And they’re very proud of it.

He’s gotta be the world busiest man. Trump is not just our President, he’s a Russian Agent, maybe even a Chinese Agent.
Just a matter of time before someone says Trump belongs to the Mossad.

Exactly.

WaPo just happened to alps gave a major oped on this today.

This is the new theme they will push.

Author is definitely desperate. Too desperate for me to read the article in its entirety.

However, I found his assumption interesting:

Imagine if Trump were negotiating with China now as not only the U.S. president but also as head of a 12-nation trading bloc based on our values and interests.

If I understood TPP correctly, Trump wouldn't be the head of a 12-nation trading bloc, but instead one voice among them that could be overruled. That's not leverage.

Am I wrong?

It would seem to be more likely that The New York Times is a lackey of the Russkies or the Chicoms or the Norks or the Muzzies?

The NYT has already shown itself to be totally untrustworthy and willing to give aid and comfort to the enemy. The next step for them would be very small.

What was the TPP going to do?

It was going to make Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and others the hosting ground for Chinese companies building facilities there to get in on the TPP trade advantages with the U.S. For China the TPP was still going to be a win-win situation.

Now the U.S. is free to make one-on-one agreements that more benefit the U.S..

You are correct.
Mr. Freedman is an amusing light weight(OK he has put on a few extra pounds).
His best line, commenting on Bush v whoever election in 1992,
when he said that ‘Both parties had blundered into a real discussion of the issues’.
Other than that, he is an over rated pompous ass.
