Why does one impact the other? China 100% manipulates their currency. Shame is, it’s one of the things I was really looking forward to about a Trump POTUS.
I get that we’re giving China a pass if they “help” with NK, but damn.
Ftr Trump has done plenty in his first 100 days domestically, it’s his foreign policy that I am not sure what he’s doing.
Better to hold off on review until day 101
Edit: heres where he’s at so far
This is ridiculous - example, he gets credit for keeping his promise on building the wall because he started a “wall initiative”? And he rescinded “incredibly unconstitutional” Obama regs on transgender bathrooms? “Incredibly unconstitutional”? Who writes this stuff?
Pro tip - don’t get your news from Reddit chain-letter posts.

If you’re not a regular Redditor, The_Donald is a fucking cesspool of bigotry, conspiracy theories (think Pizzagate) and propaganda. Actually, you should create an account and go question something Trump’s done. You will likely be banned within minutes.

Yep I have no problem with that assessment at this stage of his presidency.
HA HA HA
Really?
Have it your way. In related news, I now have a PhD in astrophysics because earlier today I started an “astrophysics PhD initiative” by downloading an application to enroll in a program. Also, Mexico is paying for it.

One such case involves Michael Catanzaro, who serves as the top White House energy adviser. Until late last year, he was working as a lobbyist for major industry clients such as Devon Energy of Oklahoma, an oil and gas company, and Talen Energy of Pennsylvania, a coal-burning electric utility, as they fought Obama-era environmental regulations, including the landmark Clean Power Plan. Now, he is handling some of the same matters on behalf of the federal government.
Another case involves Chad Wolf, who spent the past several years lobbying to secure funding for the Transportation Security Administration to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a new carry-on luggage screening device. He is now chief of staff at that agency — at the same time as the device is being tested and evaluated for possible purchase by agency staff.
There are other examples. At the Labor Department, two officials joined the agency from the K Street lobbying corridor, leaving behind jobs where they fought some of the Obama administration’s signature labor rules, including a policy requiring financial advisers to act in a client’s best interest when providing retirement advice.
This revolving door of lobbyists and government officials is not new in Washington. Both parties make a habit of it.
But the Trump administration is more vulnerable to conflicts than the prior administration, particularly after the president eliminated an ethics provision that prohibits lobbyists from joining agencies they lobbied in the prior two years. The White House also announced on Friday that it would keep its visitors’ logs secret, discontinuing the release of information on corporate executives, lobbyists and others who enter the complex, often to try to influence federal policy. The changes have drawn intense criticism from government ethics advocates across the city
You mean a fan page isn’t the right place to discuss criticism?
Try going to a Catholic forum and see how receptive they are to your criticisms of the Catholic Church
Did you just equate support for Trump with religion? Interesting…

Looks like Trump is really “draining that Swamp”…

I think you’re just sad that the Russia-Trump narrative was hit with a bunch of Tomahawks
If you think the Russia story is going to go away just because Trump starts bombing their buddies, it’s not.
I agree the mainstream left wing media along with lefties like Shumer and Pelosi will keep this going as long as possible …that’s how the game is played.
But in the end Trump won’t be touched by any of it.
I know you’re not on board with it, but do you share my love for the irony that is one of the starters of the birther movement now being questioned in this light?
Ha…I actually love it.
But to be on the side of accuracy Hillary Clinton and her campaign handlers actually began the birther movement. Then it was carried on by the far right before Trump ever got a hold of it.
But yes Trump was relentless with the issue as we all know. And now he is suffering a similar fate. That is politics and that is how the game is played. It’s hardball with spikes coming out of the ball.
I am surprised by those who do not find this stuff as interesting as you and I do pfury. But, when you think about it the overwhelming majority of the electorate is not paying one bit of attention. It’s shocking and also sad. They pay closer attention to “America’s Got Talent”. And…that’s one of the reasons we end up with candidates like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump…okay that’s a different topic.
Ignorance is bliss, my friend. Bliss and then some for many.
