Trump threatens to cut 'whole relationship' with China

--

NEW YORK -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that he is currently not on speaking terms with Chinese President Xi Jinping and that Washington could go as far as severing the "whole relationship" with Beijing if trade relations do not improve.

That’s President Trump, not Mr. Trump. And Providence delivered us a once in a lifetime opportunity when he ran in 2016. Some of us supported him and others were throwing spitballs.

We need to and take out all their accomplices in this country!

Right.

I live near some of the 5,324 local college students and several hundred permanent residents with anchor babies. I don't trust any of them not in handcuffs on the way to intellectual property violation interrogations. And that's barely any of them. As of today.

I have a strong urge to yell "You caused the virus. You filthy killers. Get out of my country." I don't.

The very few allowed to stay must be closely monitored.

Hard job, but I'll do it for the U.S.

Actually, identifying the present United States as "Mr." has been an accepted manner of style for more than a century. You might join me in dislike of the New York Times for its content and opinion but there is no denying it does set rules for style and at least in these matters The New York Times is well respected throughout journalism.

No disrespect is intended.

Otherwise, Bugger off.

The world needs to stop doing business with China for all the misery, death they have done.
China should pay all the money to the countries they have hurt.

They’ll be wholly owned by a country whose product is limited to rice, rice and more rice, without a relationship with the US. I own stocks that were worth plenty when I bought them, but now are worth a fraction of a penny. It’s a bad feeling. Hope Joe and Hunter enjoy it.

.I am *absolutely* convinced that every Chinese national in this country is engaged in some kind of spying.

That's a pretty big claim - *every* Chinese national.

Trump probably has received direct evidence that, after the initial lab leak caused mass death in Wuhan, CCP agents deliberately spread the virus to the West so China wouldn't go down alone. It was an act of war, but not as clear to the public as Pearl Harbor.....

We have to get this conjecture into the public square for discussion, proven or not. Dems will not allow that. They are traitors on the side of the Chicoms. I have no more respect for Dems than for Chicoms.

Fact: Chinese knew the virus was highly contagious and was a danger t other countries. They deliberately suppressed that for weeks.

That means many thousands of people DIED because of the Chicoms. They need not have devised the virus in their labs where they have a goal of finding a contagion that cannot be cured (that is their goal).

Just to keep it quiet with that Ethiopian W.H.O. guy's complicity, is a crime against humanity.

Make sure none of their launches reach orbit, and Xi will get the hint in a hurry.

it is Biological Warfare and Fauci is in on it.

Freedom and Liberty is losing the war because instead of fighting back, we are playing along out of fear of a typical seasonal virus that is not "new" like they claim, it is not any diferent that climate change

Everyone who is complicit with selling out the United States of America to China is a traitor.

Confess I'm a bit nervous over this.

Today we hear/read that China has called out the U.S for owing the United Nations $1 BILLION in back dues or something.

What if today invited the United Nations to relocate in Beijing? Wouldn't that place us in an uncomfortable position today?
