NEWS Facebook Twitter Flipboard WhatsApp Email Copy Mike Pompeo: Trump told me ‘shut the hell up’ about China COVID secrecy By Steven Nelson January 19, 2023 12:13pm Updated WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo alleges in an explosive new memoir that former President Donald Trump told him to “shut the hell up for a while” about China hiding early COVID-19 pandemic information — after Chinese President Xi Jinping said it was a sore topic.

Pompeo writes that Xi was furious about the top US diplomat’s criticism of Beijing’s non-transparency at a March 25, 2020, State Department press conference and asked Trump during a March 26 call to silence him.

Xi told Trump that Pompeo was putting at risk the “phase one” trade deal that the two leaders had brokered that January, according to Semafor, which obtained part of Pompeo’s “Never Give An Inch” ahead of its Jan. 24 release.

"My Mike, that f–ing guy hates you!” Trump exclaimed after the call, according to Pompeo, who was listening in on the conversation.

Days later, Trump allegedly told Pompeo he was “putting us all at risk” by upsetting Xi because the US needed personal protective equipment from China

I’m not completely happy with how Trump handled COVID, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me. A dealbreaker for me is when a whiny pussy complains publicly when his boss chews him out.

The media highlights division and downplays unity. Proof: Pompeo’s “Never Give An Inch” is 464 pages and the NY Post found one paragraph that divides Trump and Pompeo. Oh well. Pompeo is a genius like Trump and has many positive things to say about America.

This stuff naturally flows down to low wage countries.
I’m seeing a lot of auto parts that used to come from China now are mfg in Indonesia, Vietnam, and India. Same thing with clothing items like shoes.

The progression went USA > Mexico > China >>>

Well ya I get the profit margin thing. but basic medical and health supplies should not be all about the bottom dollar.

It’s a matter of national security/survival.

“Pompeo is a Benedict Arnold IF this is true.”

More like Trump is the benedict Arnold. Fist Trump sucks up to communist China, even as millions of americans are dying of covid, then Trump poisons 80% of america with the Trump MRNA vaccine.
