Yes… really.
May I remind everyone that this sack of excrement is the same guy who lied about his service in Vietnam… so I have a hard time believing anyone would trust anything that comes out of his lying trap.
Then again… the Democrats will believe anything that makes Trump the bad guy.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Tuesday that President Trump may be putting China’s interests ahead of America’s for financial gain, but did not address his own family’s management of the Empire State Building, which like Trump Tower has a Chinese government-linked tenant.
In a call with reporters, Blumenthal said a Chinese bank renting space at Trump Tower in New York is illegal without congressional permission and may be influencing Trump’s policy decisions.
“To be really blunt, an arm of the Chinese government is paying President Trump rent for his building, and last year as you all know China granted President Trump 40 trademarks,” the Connecticut Democrat said on a conference call.
“These approvals of trademarks closely followed the president’s abrupt decision as president to honor the One-China Policy, a reversal of his earlier position,” he said. “Shortly after receiving those trademark registrations, President Trump flip-flopped on labeling China a currency manipulator.”
“As he travels to China, we’re left wondering, Americans are left wondering if President Trump is representing American interests or his own, and which he’s going to put first,” he said.
Really? Because in reading about Trump’s visit to China, I was convinced he was doing a lot to improve our diplomatic relations with the nation in order to jointly deal with the North Korean menace.
Blumenthal has an existing chip on his shoulder about Trump….
Blumenthal, one of the wealthiest members of Congress, is the named plaintiff in Blumenthal v. Trump, which claims Trump is violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause by not receiving permission from Congress to have foreign-government tenants. In addition to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Trump Tower is home to the Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority.
My eyes are on permanent roll-mode…. and I’m getting very, very nauseous.
