I think Bob Dole was involved which is why Sprint is getting Japanese money.
smart man...the media will continue the blitz of hate and criticism. It will turn the public off even more to the ENEmedia. This is fun to watch.
It’s interesting to me that Trump has named an ambassador to China before naming a SecState or any other ambassodors other than UN (as far as I know). It signals, I think, that a very crucial focus for Trump will be on fixing the asymmetries in our relationship with China.
For anyone wanting to see the next President honor our military, President-elect Trump will attend the Army/Navy game this Saturday. You can bet he will get an awesome reception!
Army/Navy Game this Saturday honoring the 82nd Airborne of WWII. Donald Trump will be in attendance as a President should be.
Watch the video; it’s great.

This is SUCH fun, watching Trump operate. Yes of course he’s 2 steps ahead of the media. They are so lame, so “yesterday”, so unimportant.
From his original announcement day, mentioning immigration issues, etc., the press is chasing HIS stories. He must chuckle as he watches the situation unfold.
I love that he puts out a “tweet” and the media chases that story with outrage, then he puts out another “tweet” and the press jumps over to that new story.
That’s why we voted for him. 65 million of us GOT IT... and proved it on election night. We won’t get everything we want, but this is awesome fun so far, winning is great, his choices for cabinet picks are tremendous and the future is looking bright. Much needed change from the downtrodden, how to take out the USA, how to harm anything American that has prevailed for the last 8 years. Dems just don’t get Trump. We sure do and we’re loving this. Optimism rules.
Concur. The Donald is putting some serious calculus behind his SOS pick. He also understands the vital difference between the economic China and the political China.
-—Gov. Branstad’s relationship with President Xi Jinping dates back to the mid-1980s, when President Xi was a young county official seeking a closer relationship with Iowa’s robust agriculture sector.-—
I seem to remember reading that China has already purchased some American farmland.
If true, will Amb. Branstad work to buy it back, citing that it only makes sense for Americans to control this precious natural resources (for obvious reasons), or does he plan to allow Beijing to continue controlling the means of production?
Army/Navy game. Get the tv ratings will be yuuge! No on taking a kneww at this game.
I heard he will sit on Army side one half and Navy side for other half.
How will old prez zippy react to this? Will he want to get his nose in somewhere?
Bet no one takes a knee at this game?
Need more coffee perhaps.....
i hope he goes the CEO route
As I recall, switching sides at halftime is a longstanding tradition to avoid showing favoritism toward either school.
Some guys was whining that he was from a landlocked state.
Hmm. The most important shipbuilder of WW II, Andrew Jackson Higgins, was born in Nebraska, but created the famous LCI “Higgins boats.” Ike called Higgins “the man who won the war.”
By the libs’ standards, he couldn’t have built a dinghy.
Couldn't be bothered to do a even few seconds of research on Branstad before before posting his snarky tweet.
It's very much the Emmanuel/Obama/Jarrett playbook of causing outrage after outrage--so many of them clustered together, you can do whatever you want as people freak about the current outrage thus enabling implementation of the previous 20.
Still not tired of winning.
“I love that he puts out a “tweet” and the media chases that story with outrage, then he puts out another “tweet” and the press jumps over to that new story.”
Yup. It’s DJT’s continuing holiday performance of The Nutcracker Tweet!
“The Donald is putting some serious calculus behind his SOS pick.”
He sure is and is not getting the credit for it that he deserves.
The Nutcracker Tweet.
sweet..........
“And some smug doofus over at “thinkprogress” couldn’t wait to slam Branstad as an utterly unqualified nobody from an “all-white, landlocked” state in flyover country.”
It’s easy to become unmoored from definitions as the left continues to change labels. It is my belief that human nature doesn’t change much. In every generation you have “this” kind of people and “that” kind of people, and as a matter of personality and character, those groups don’t change much.
For instance, every generation has people who want to run things, and people who are not driven by power.
Today’s leftards are the same people who burned heretics ands homos. They are the same people who held the Salem witch trials, the same people who supported the Klan, the same people who followed John Brown, the same people who reelected Marion Barry after he was videotaped smoking crack and consorting with prostitutes.
That group of people, people who are “that” way, seems to exist at every point in history. Their slogans and the color of their coats changes, but inside they are the same people: people who should never be in charge of anything.
When I was in grade school, we didn’t let those kids lead. When they spoke up, we slapped them down. In the intervening decades, these people took over our entire county, and they have almost destroyed it.
One of the things I hope for the most from our new president is that he start the process of discrediting “that” kind of person.
