"Has The Deep State Destroyed Trump's Chances Of A China Trade Deal?"

_________________________

The Deep State and the Democrat party are killing this nation.

Period.

[DIRTYSECRET]

They need us otherwise they would do what Harry Truman would have done. Either Trump is messing with the Chicoms or the deep state is messing with Trump. Trump can say in the words of the Kenyan “cut it out.” Hasn’t happened. Is he scared of the deep state?

[Pete Dovgan]

This is speculation, but it fits the evidence.

The company you list is deeply connected to the Clintons. The arrest of the CFO, more likely than not, is connected to the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation. This has nothing to do with the ‘Chinese trade deal’ and has everything to do with the Clintons, IMHO. The move was likely made because the ‘acting’ AG is pursuing the Clintons, Clinton foundation, and it’s Chinese connections.

This isn’t a move by the ‘deep state’, its a move by the AG and IG Huber, in a long running move to expose the Clintons and connections.

Interesting. I’m waiting for Trump to release the payoffs to congressmen’s mistresses. Kinda like the 900 FBI files Hillary acquired. The truth will set you free.

Nothing has been going right since John Bolton's been in there. Even worse than no deal on China trade is the regression in what he was hoping to achieve in Korea. Why are we still there? Let the Koreans figure it out. It's a win-win for them. SK gets more markets and a strong independent military. NK's current leaders get their place in history, finally ending the war and providing a better life for their people.

And we still haven't dumped Saudi Arabia, which GWB should've done after 911. Now they hold so much sway over our pols and our economy that saying goodbye will be painful.

My concern is that what is happening in France spreads through all of the other places that the Globalist Cartel controls.

Maybe we could send Tim Cook, Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg and a few others to China and have them arrested. That would teach us a lesson.

Trump shows no fear of the Deep State. However, he can leverage this “uncomfortable” circumstance by dangling the release of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou before the Chinese leader Xi Jinping as an added incentive to come to the table quickly, framing it as a “misunderstanding”, and extract a number of additional concessions.

Playing chess in multiple dimensions continues.

[Stirner]

“My concern is that what is happening in France spreads”

Your concern is my hope. People refusing to cooperate with “business as usual” is the only thing I can see that will change the path we are on. Trump’s election, Brexit, and “what is happening in France” are all different ways that people are declining to go along with “business as usual”. Maybe I’m underestimating the disruption that will occur if we change direction and perhaps I shouldn’t be so optimistic, but it’s what I hope for nevertheless.

I’ll go with what you said

I do not think the “deep state” currently has the wherewithall to do the deed.

[eyeamok]

Just imagine how Americans would feel if China kidnapped a high profile member of our tech royalty

Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Cook,... Hell you can have them. Half the Country would rejoice.

[Zhang Fei]

This is a really stupid premise. The reality is Xi will simply not deal. He will do the usual meaningless PR release about x tonnes of wheat, soybeans and Boeing aircraft purchased, and continue strong-arming US companies to surrender their intellectual property in return for access to the Chinese market. The right course is to continue raising tariffs on China until imports from that country drop to zero, i.e. no US imports are from China. Then it will be time to start requiring that products sold in the US have no Chinese material or labor content. What we need to inflict on China is the semi-embargo of the Cold War era.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’m inclined to agree. The Deep State has almost bottomless evil intent, but at the end of the day I don’t think they’re that smart.

Do guys like Comey, Brennan and Clapper impress you with how smart they are? They don’t impress me.

[grania]

Remember when the Republican establishment arrogantly told us "if we don't like it, nominate and elect someone else". In our Brave New World, in Europe and the US, we've learned something forsure these past few years. Election results aren't accepted by those who selfishly hold on to power, whatever it takes. Voting to get rid of the controlling force doesn't work. And now there's the situation of troops under the EU flag (ie: Germany) quelling riots in the streets of Paris.

Ahhhhh…..maybe I should calm down and go eat some cake.

How is it the deep state arrested her?

Someone explain that to me or is it to make PDJT look bad?

I had thought her arrest gives him leverage...am I wrong?

[bert]

-—They don’t impress me.-—

As an amatuer lepodopitrist, I captured caterpillars. I would stick a pin in the back end to subdue them. They wriggle and squirm and do all sorts of actions to struggle free.

Comey, Brennan and Clapper are in the struggling phase.

[Maris Crane]

Trouble is they impress themselves.

It’s hard to pinpoint which one is the most like Inspector Clouseau, without the charm.

They thought they were pretty smart, and yet, here they are, the subject of much derision and ridicule.

In late January the Dow Jones index was 26,600 and is now 24,400. The Hang Seng was 33,100 and is now 25, 800.

China needs a fair deal more than Trump.

[Alberta's Child]

Just imagine how Americans would feel if China kidnapped a high profile member of our tech royalty and multiply that outrage by about 10.

If the Chinese arrested Mark Zuckerberg in a foreign country and brought him back to China to stand trial, I'd reimburse them for the cost of sending their police officers to get him.

[Harpotoo]

Didn’t the PRCs just lower the US auto import tariff from 40 to 15%? Winning:-)
