Newsweek ^ | 25 Sept 2024 | Jesus Mesa, Live News Reporter

Posted on 09/25/2024 11:52:50 PM PDT by blueplum

...Speaking at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania...Harris criticized Trump's proposal to impose high tariffs on China... She also said that Trump's policies made it easier for China to acquire advanced semiconductor chips, which they then use for military applications.

"Donald Trump actually shipped advanced semiconductor chips to China which helps them upgrade their military....

The Facts The claim that Trump "sold out" the U.S. by shipping semiconductors to China is not supported by evidence...In fact, Trump's administration took significant steps to limit China's access to sensitive technologies, including semiconductors...

The Ruling...We found Harris' claim to be highly misleading....

with Harris we are faced with double-speak word salad or outright lies; there seems to be no middle ground of honesty with her. At all.

Nope, Harris is just another Demagogic Party demagogue and liar. Her titular boss, Brainless Joe Biden, is the one on the take from China.

Trump most likely sold the chips back to the Chinese who made them in the first place and made a profit doing it!

She is lying as her VP pick Tim Walz in all likelihood committed treason selling the communist Chinese the manual for a 155mm artillery piece when he was in the National Guard. The democrats want to divert attention from this.
Biden of course took bribes from the commies thru his son for whatever they want.

Exactly right. Kamala and her campaign are spewing non-stop lies about Trump because they are desperate. Her record must be hidden at all costs and Trump's real record is too good to attack.

Expect this behavior to ramp up to a frenzy as election day nears.

I hope Trump's team is planning to ramp up their attacks in retaliation. Kamala is a target-rich environment.

Unburdened by the past, one can flip flop, lie, gronify, transmogrify the entire political scene in order to transform America.

IN other words Harris represents the destruction of America.Then she will build back better?

BUahahahahahahahahahaha! She couldn't even bring herself to be able to clean her own piss pot. I have never before seen such an incompetent politician. Totally incompetent.

Our technology was sent to China for copying long before Trump took office.

Smartphones have very powerful chips and there is probably well over a billion smartphones.

Most processing power and bandwidth is wasted. I might burn up 150MB of cellphone data by reading a few pages of The Conservative Treehouse.

The only thing Communist Chinese can’t steal is honesty.

“ Our technology was sent to China for copying long before Trump took office.”

As I recall it, the Clinton administration permitted China access to previously top secret advanced missile technology. They had been having a great deal problems with their guided missiles exploding and/or not landing where they wanted.

The Chinese are smart and would have figured it out for themselves, but not until years later. The misguided/evil Clinton administration policy permitted China to move much faster into the guided missile era.

The biggest upgrade to China’s military came as a result of Bill Clinton’s quest for campaign donations. For a measly $600k from Bernie Schwartz of Loral Corp, Clinton permitted that company to sell China’s military US MIRV technology for their nuclear weapons program. The sale erased a 40-year disadvantage and the costs associated with experimentation.

Those were democrats who sold us out to our enemies. Clinton, Obama and Biden are all corrupt politicians who made millions off their government positions. President Trump made his money in the real world and isn’t beholden to our enemies like the other lowlifes.
