A general rule to understanding Donald Trump

Follow the money.

Above all else, Donald Trump wants to make money. He doesn't really care who he has to work with to get it, so long as he gets it.

His slow waltz with the Chinese government tells us all we need to know. For more than a decade, he tried unsuccessfully to get a trademark approved in China. Since he has been President, he and his family have 35 trademarks approved! He stands to make a fortune in China that surpasses even his wildest dreams. He could end up the richest man in the world - even more wealthy than Vladimir Putin.

Sitting in the White House, in the highest office in this land, is nothing short of a disgrace.
