At the forefront of all of this is the issue of credibility. Donald Trump is a proven pathological liar.....he lies even when he knows he is going to be caught in that lie. So, how do we know when something regarding the Korean or Syrian situation is being told truthfully to us, or not ? Trump has cried wolf one time too often, and now we disbelieve anything that comes out of his mouth.

You didn't vote for him so your opinion of him is irrelevant.

LOST - over a piece of chocolate cake with the Chinese Leader. Trump now decided they are good people and we'll probably be doing more business with them.

Truly amazing that there is barely a single talking point from his campaign that has not be acted upon.



Gee, that Trump got the trademark approvals in China he'd sought for years couldn't have any affect, could it?

I hope you're getting paid for this crap at least....he's such a bad ass tough guy, that he caved on arguably his biggest campaign promise over a piece of that yuuuuge cake.....
and I know your trumpsters live in the binary paradise known as "Murica" but considering the amount of trade we do with China I wouldn't exactly call them an "enemy".

What you don't realize is that Trump voters by and large didn't vote for any single issue, just like you didn't vote for Barack Obama or any other Democrat for any single issue. Some people care about China currency manipulation, some wanted him to focus on rebuilding American infrastructure, others just wanted him to upset the status quo. For you to assert that Trump's "evolution of thought" is a con job on his voters is an assertion that his voters voted for him based on every single campaign pledge he made. Your position is supremely ignorant.

I thought Trump was going to do something about all the Chinese imports so that American manufacturing jobs would come back. Their products are so cheap that Americans can't compete with them.

I also know a few ebay sellers who are sick and tired of the dirt cheap products that flood ebay--Chinese sellers can sell the same product for $1 that costs an American $5 or more. They were hoping Trump would put some sort of tariff on the dirt cheap Chinese products. Guess what!

Maybe it's the opinions those of blinded by Trump's BS that are irrelevant.

It's a good thing that you didn't vote for any single issue since he's backed off on all of them. You must have voted for him because he wasn't Hillary. He's still not her, so good for you.
