Trump threatens to cut 'whole relationship' with China

Now’s the time to do it. Despite the cheerleading for the Chicoms from the democrats/stooge media, America is very pi$$ed off at China.

We are giving WHO 10% of what we had been giving them, according to FOX News this AM.

So how do you ban all trade with China? Wouldn’t that take legislation to do that? And how would you get that through Congress much less enforce it?

Yes, I saw the report and I know what they’re doing.

My opinion is it’s a mistake. We shouldn’t give them a dime.

I’m used to the “walk softly and carry a big stick” school of diplomacy, but he’s a businessman used to negotiations that involve getting the job done, and it’s clear that the CCP is not the walk softly type anyway. Instead, the CCP is a narcissist trying to gaslight the whole world. The rules of polite society do not apply.

Seize all Chinese assets in this country and expel all ChiCom “diplomats”. While you are at it, disband the UN and throw them all out too.

What is Trump supposed to do? The fiend, Xi, unleashed a plague, either on purpose or accidentally, but purposefully, and that is not open to debate, spread it around the world.

I know of a young lady in SoCal that was a surrogate to a Chinese couple. Amazing.

One big area they have an advantage is the crucial rare earth metals, but we do have them here. We just don’t have as much of them, and our environmentalists have put every roadblock in places to prevent mining for them.

Perhaps this will be a catalyst to get past that somehow.

“...We need to and take out all their accomplices in this country!...”
Agreed. Many of us have smelled “RAT” since the start of the virus BS. The oDongo shadow govt likely colluded with the CCP on the plandemic. They need to be taken out is an understatement.

“...China is blaming the US for the outbreak of SARS2-CV19.
It it right to break off relations....”
IF the DS/RAT/shadow government colluded with them on the release, there may be an element of truth in what they’re saying.

The virus is the least of their issues.

The submarine off CA coast was probably the last straw for Trump.
