Rumors are that President Trump will rename Gitmo "Comey Island" and will use it to house the dirty cops, intel agents and co-conspirators who used lies to illegally SPY on a President. Conspiracy, Cover-up, and attempted Coup. Katie, BARR THE DOOR!
You’re a little behind. He’s not going. Besides, opposition research is digging up or making up dirt. Hillary has obviously and blatantly committed multiple felonies. Investigating that is not opposition research.
The Bad Orange Man didn't attack them. Embargo them. Or do much of anything.
Venezuela dictator stole all the money, there. Didn't do basic maintenance on the formerly highly profitable oil industry. Gave the good jobs to minions who knew nothing about work, much less oil production. And broke the industry.
And thus no oil to give to Cuba for terror police, to China & Russia for the massive loans. And they plan to collect. In land for bases and mansions?
Cuba could feed it's people but won't let the People produce. Because productive people aren't slaves.
Our President's twitter account has been on fire of late. This is from yesterday:
quote:
The Democrats new and pathetically untrue sound bite is that we are in a “Constitutional Crisis.” They and their partner, the Fake News Media, are all told to say this as loud and as often as possible. They are a sad JOKE! We may have the strongest Economy in our history, best employment numbers ever, low taxes & regulations, a rebuilt military & V.A., many great new judges, & so much more. But we have had a giant SCAM perpetrated upon our nation, a Witch Hunt, a Treasonous Hoax. That is the Constitutional Crisis & hopefully guilty people will pay!
They and their partner, the Fake News Media, are all told to say...
Great to welcome Chairman Shin from Lotte Group to the WH. They just invested $3.1 BILLION into Louisiana - biggest investment in U.S. EVER from a South Korean company, & thousands more jobs for Americans. Great partners like ROK know the U.S. economy is running stronger than ever!
President Trump Points Out Alternate Favorable Trade Partners – The 2017 “Golden Ticket” Summit CTH - May 12, 2019
CTH was wondering how long it would take for President Trump to point out the brutally obvious. Thanks to some advanced planning that everyone ignored, there are multiple trade alternatives to China:
Perhaps now people will reference President Trump’s long-game strategy which has been evident since his marathon Asia trip in November 2017.
Long before media pundits starting noticing/considering how serious President Trump was about structurally resetting the entire landscape of a U.S-China trade relationship, President Trump quietly and methodically laid the groundwork with personal visits to: Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (Japan); President Moon Jae-in (S-Korea); President Tran Dai Quang (Vietnam); and President Rodrigo Duterte (Philippines).
Oh, how quickly the media forgot:
These were not visits as part of multi-national/multilateral G20 or G7 discussions. The November 2017 tour of Asia was President Trump traveling to meet directly, face-to-face, one-on-one with the manufacturing heavyweights of Southeast Asia.
At every single stop he broadcast the intent of the visit: "We’re talking TRADE!"
These were unilateral meetings; and, in hindsight, clearly designed to structure the foundation of the current U.S-China trade conflict. You might remember CTH calling this the “golden ticket tour“. The tour culminated in the November 12-13, 2017, ASEAN summit; but the 10-day tour of Asia was entirely separate from the summit.
After the collapse of the U.S-China negotiations, there’s a reason why President Trump says: “we’re in no rush” to make a deal.
The reality is, though President Trump will continue to provide enticements for U.S. product manufacturing to return, there is an abundant ASEAN base to replace China.
This Art-of-The-Deal strategy is an aspect that almost no-one is paying attention to.
Of course, to consider this strategy the media would have to admit that President Trump has just executed one of the biggest global and geopolitical trade strategies of all time….
Trump Makes 0bama Regret His Jobs Prediction Blaze TV - Published May 3, 2019
Shattering records and stunning economic experts, the Trump economy has produced generational accomplishments this quarter. 0bama said it couldn't be done. He mocked Trump for saying he was going to bring jobs back to America. Today, Trump makes 0bama eat his words as the unemployment is at a 49 year low.
...As President Trump highlighted today, over time (and it won’t take long) there will be an exodus of multinational manufacturing away from China. Corporations will shift their purchase agreements, manufacturing and assembly plans to ASEAN countries outside the investment ‘risk zone’ that is now China.
China has no choice if they want to retain their economic model. Remember, China’s economy is deep (manufacturing) but also narrow. They are dependent on raw materials, customers and market access.
Additionally, President Trump announces today he has not made any decision on the next phase of 25% tariffs on the remaining $350 billion in Chinese products. He doesn’t need to. Merely the possibility of additional tariffs will pause any further investment; and some companies not currently impacted will make decisions to avoid the possibility of impact.
President Trump has walked Chairman Xi into a trap. There is only downside for China in the current dynamic. In an effort to avoid the downside, China will bleed cash to retain their economic position…. However, this can only last so long.
President Trump knows the strength of our U.S. position is that our economy is deep and wide. The U.S. is a self-sustaining economy. Almost 80% of our internal production and manufacturing is purchased within our own market.
In the big picture – economic strength is an outcome of the ability of a nation, any nation, to support itself first and foremost. If a nation's economy is dependent on other nations to survive it is less strong than a nation whose economy is more independent.
The reality of China as a dependent economic model - heck, they can't even feed themselves - puts them at greater risk from the effects of global economic contraction. However, more importantly it puts China at risk from President Trump’s strategic use of geopolitical economic leverage to weaken their economy. Trump is exploiting that risk.
As things go forward, China cannot sustain a long-term economic conflict with the U.S. As each day passes the ASEAN alliance will see their investment grow as companies pull-out of China and invest in South Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, India etc. The GDP of our allies (including Mexico) grows, and the controlled GDP of China, as an adversary, shrinks.
President Trump Proposes Extra $1.6 Billion for NASA's 2024 Return to Moon By Mike Wall, Space.com - May 13, 2019
NASA's push to put humans on the moon in 2024 may get a financial boost next year.
A new budget amendment gives NASA an additional $1.6 billion in fiscal year 2020, on top of the $21 billion already allocated to the space agency, President Donald Trump announced today (May 13).
"Under my Administration, we are restoring @NASA to greatness and we are going back to the moon, then Mars. I am updating my budget to include an additional $1.6 billion so that we can return to space in a BIG WAY!" Trump said via Twitter this afternoon. [https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1128050 996545036288]
The amendment is a proposal for now, however; NASA won't get the money until Congress, which has the power of the purse, officially signs off.
The extra $1.6 billion is designed to help NASA put astronauts down near the lunar south pole in 2024, an ambitious goal that Vice President Mike Pence laid out in March. (Prior to Pence's announcement, the agency had been working toward a late-2020s crewed lunar landing.) This pioneering mission will help lead to a long-term, sustainable human presence on the moon, NASA officials have said.
The additional funds would make a big difference, but more cash infusions are still necessary in the future, agency chief Jim Bridenstine said.
"This additional investment, I want to be clear, is a down payment on NASA's effort to land humans on the moon by 2024," Bridenstine said during a call with reporters this afternoon. "In the coming years, we will need additional funds, but this is a good amount that gets us out of the gate in a very strong fashion and sets us up for success in the future."
Future cash boosts will need to be higher than $1.6 billion, he added, comparing the funding requirements to a bell curve: Needs will start out low, get higher and higher, and then come back down again.
The $1.6 billion is not coming from anywhere inside NASA, Bridenstine said, stressing that no other agency programs would have to suffer to make the funding boost possible.
Just to hit the high points, the Premier of China is now a God King. He openly threatens Free China ( Taiwan ) the Philippines, and has built tiny island fortresses, backed by fleets of "fishing" boat suicide bombs & torpedo/ missile launchers.
I suspect the U.S. Navy really needs more amphibious assault ships with PT boat sized craft with "R2D2" anti-missile guns to swarm an area and vaporize Chinese/Iranian small craft & missiles.
And knowing history, we will have them in time for the enemy to be completely different.
China Not An Economic Threat To U.Sn AP - Published on May 7, 2019
(2 May 2019) Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden downplayed the economic threat posed by China during a campaign stop in Iowa on Tuesday.
He scoffed at the idea that China could overtake the U.S. as a world leader, telling a crowd in Iowa City, "China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man."

On this episode of “Judicial Watch Inside Report,” former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova describes the contempt charges against Attorney General Barr, the Mueller report, and the FISA process for spying on the Trump campaign through Carter Page.
China didn't give my son 1.5 million dollars, so I am not a paid advertisement for them. Biden is.
Couldn't agree more.
They also have a sweet spot for Ukraine.
The announcement of Rudy G's trip to Ukraine last week was, I think, a head fake to get the mainstream media talking about Biden and Ukraine. The NYT delivered in spades.
