(81,590 posts)Trump pulled China into the brewing controversy just one week before a Chinese delegation was set to arrive in Washington to resume protracted trade negotiations. Administration officials have for many months signaled optimism about reaching a sweeping deal with China that addresses issues including trade deficits and intellectual property theft, and Trump told the U.N. General Assembly last week that he will not accept a bad deal with China.
I have a lot of options on China, but if they dont do what we want, we have tremendous power, Trump said outside the White House on Thursday morning.

(10,721 posts)"The president of the United States is openly breaking the law. Transparent illegality is still illegality. Do not be fooled by his obvious attempt to make collusion with a foreign government acceptable or normal. He is breaking the law, he is committing multiple impeachable offenses and he will be held accountable. Again, transparent illegality is still illegality. One would hope that Republicans agree. Thank you. We will now take a few questions."

Mental health patients to Bernie Sanders: Dont compare us to the GOP candidates

I have mental health issues myself but still support Sanders probably because I'm not a purist.
