Forbes has been a consistent supporter of Trump, from what I remember. Why are they throwing out this red herring just before the election?
Because Forbes is literally owned by Chinese owners.
The reporter and possibly some upper level officials don’t like Trump and wanted to spring an “October Surprise” on him and his comments.
I’m an old reporter/journalist and now private writer. Got my first official press card for DC and then VN in 1970. I can smell a smear job a mile away and this one smells like a garbage dump on fire.
PS: I don’t think the Red Chinese “businessmen” (aka PLA intelligence officers) would stay at a local Motel 6 while doing business and visits to DC.
They could have stayed at a Bates Motel years ago but they’ve gone out of business so why not stay at the best. After all, it’s being paid for with American businesses money.
