Richard Blumenthal concerned Trump may be colluding with China

He’s POTUS, he’s supposed to meet with world leaders and make deals to our advantage.
He’s also CEO of a worldwide company, with whom China understandably does reasonable business.
While perhaps he should be watched for improper dealings, there is absolutely nothing indicating such is happening.

Make up your mind, Dick.
Is it Russia or China or maybe Timbuktu?

I thought the story was that he was colluding with Russia? I guess since that’s not panning out, now it’s China.

So they finally figured it out did they?

There is nothing China wants more than a powerful United States.

Ditto Russia.

Blumenthal just told us he will sell out the US to China for personal advantage.

Sessions needs to recuse himself for once having met with a Chinese official, and Maxine Waters should be appointed special prosecutor.
