Chinese woman accused of Mar-a-Lago trespass set for trial

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The upcoming trial of a Chinese national on federal charges that she trespassed at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort and lied to the Secret Service is potentially a circus wrapped in mystery.

Rejecting the strong recommendation of U.S. District Judge Roy Altman, Yujing Zhang fired her public defenders in June to act as her own attorney - a longshot move the 33-year-old Shanghai business consultant has struggled with during pretrial hearings setting up Monday's scheduled jury selection.

Zhang often frustrates Altman by ignoring his questions or answering with non sequiturs. At times she replies in near-fluent English and insists she understands complex legal concepts, but will then say she doesn't understand a simple question and turns to her Mandarin translator.

I know full well that you understand what I am saying to you both in English and in Mandarin," Altman told her during an August hearing. "You are trying to play games."

No doubt she’s been put through the wringer a few times while in custody.

The first drawing featuring the slant eye slits looks racist.

Here’s a drawing from a better artist.

A federal charge of tresspass seems trivial and not worth a show trial that is a propaganda engine

. . . . “know full well that you understand what I am saying to you both in English and in Mandarin," Altman told her during an August hearing. "You are trying to play games."

I recently worked with an engineer- this man from China and he did the same thing when I’d ask him a simple question about thermochemistry. The man was a complete fraud based on his games playing and he would go from claiming he didn’t understand the question, to accusing me of making up nonsense. I hauled his ass into the manager’s office and made my case with an HR rep present.

The Chinese man finished the day and never returned. 👍🏼

Just wacky. The real question is, will she have enough donors and poll % to qualify for the next Democrat debate. She can have a secret language exchange with Joe Biden on stage.

Same with the hispanic employees I supervised. Monday through Thursday, couldn’t speak a word of English. Friday, they were beating down the door hollering in perfect English they wanted their paychecks before 5 pm.

The Mexicans here . . . I ask them : “why don’t you just do direct deposit and you won’t have to stand in line - plus, you’ll get the money on Thursday instead of Friday” Freaking illegals can’t open an account cuz they got no ID - but it’s racist to ask them for it to vote?
