    Umm, Trump is the one with a secret Chinese bank account recieving millions of dollars and a daughter who scores Chinese patents left and right. And apparently our trade deficit with China is the largest it has been in over a decade.

    Nothing to see here, right?

    LOL! Trump probably paid more taxes in China than in the US. MAGA.

    So you don't have a bank account, investments, retirement, etc? The Chinese likely own a portion of all your accounts. 100% of working Americans owe money to China. I am glad we are having this discussion.

    Um, the Chinese government doesn't own any of my accounts and all of my accounts are US based. Not sure what type of twisted logic you are trying to use here.

    That story was a lie too. He paid millions, but the misinformation and lies from anonymous sources by the NY Times is all the weak minded and Leftists will remember.

    And still - he seems to have paid millions to China and peanuts to Uncle Sam.
    And received millions FROM China.

    You're not even the tiniest bit concerned that his overseas holdings and income, especially in a place like China, doesn't expose him to potentially being leveraged? You're not even the tiniest bit concerned that he might put his millions in investments in China ahead of the best interests of USA?

    Of course they do. But you may want to look up what the term "own" means. Investing in shares of a bank doesn't give anyone ownership of my accounts.

    Since I am an investor in hairsplitting, I own an interest in the hair you split even though I don't technically own the hair itself. If he is making money in China, why would he risk the loss that accompanies giving them a hard time?

    I only recently heard of it. I do know that China does not like him as President and is actively involved in getting Biden elected. I also know of Bidens involvement with China and that he is soft towards them. Trump on the other hand is playing hard with China. So no, I am not worried about a conflict of interest regarding Trump and China. That he has money in one of their banks is meaningless or of no more consequence than his business dealings anywhere. We have agencies to watch for that no matter who it is. And even had he the mind to do so, I don't see him doing it with all eyes on him.

    I know that living here in California, I always take my computers to a blind repairman on the East Coast who will read my emails, copy my hard drive and send a copy to Rudy Guiliani. Seems pretty normal to me. Nothing fishy there. Standard procedure.

    An acquaintence of mine who spent 30 years in Hong Kong working at a high level in banking there made the point that you don't get to open a bank account in China & run millions of $ through it without some pretty heavy connections in the Communist Party. Just doesn't happen.

    That doesn't mean Trump has done anything wrong, but you have to wonder about the motivation of people who are starting new thread every day about a laptop that isn't even proved to belong to the son of a Presidential candidate, while ignoring the actual President magically getting millions out of a bank account in China. They have been throwing torrents of mud at Biden and can't get a thing to stick while assiduously ignoring the dealings of Trump & his family in China. Zero credibility.

    Tens of thousands of companies doing business in China have bank accounts there to facilitate doing business there. And the business was doing business as a private company and Trump was a private citizen not selling political influence.

    What national security? As a private citizen one of his companies was doing hotel management business in China, they made money and paid taxes there. Trump gave up any control of his companies when he took office his family is certainly free to maintain that family business, like Jimmy Carter did selling his peanuts, like the Kennedy family did selling liquor.

    2017, when he was president. 17M was deposited into this account. More than had ever been in the account.

    Shortly thereafter Trump WITHDREW 15M.

    I believe the phrase you like at this point is "LOCK HIM UP!"

    But the anonymous sources reported by the NY Times thanks to Rudy is gospel?

    LOL, ok.

    Is there some link detailing this? Surely the LW media would be all over it. Was there a legit reason for it?

    Maybe Adam Schiff will come out and say this is Russian disinformation?
