    That's absurd justification. You just justified bribery, as a way to show willingness to cooperate.

    Isn't this what happens after every election? At least the ones I'm able to remember during my life time.

    No, this is completely untrue. Name a single president who didn't put his business in a blind trust. Name the last president to not reveal his earnings. Name the last president that was also a head of his corporation, trying to do business all over the world.

    This is new and you knew it was, before the election. Talk to that Ghostpanther, he had no issue understanding.

    That's because Hillary Clinton is a foul, corrupt cunt. What has Ivanka done?

    You didn't prove it. "read a book" is not proof.

    History can teach us a lot about a lot of things. Presidents of the US and evidence of their doings in life and such would be one. But no matter. Not like I need to prove it.

    So you're making shit up. Glad I can disregard everything you say then. There's a lot of people here that do that.

    You are free to do that. But for myself, I am interested in your opinion if I think it is a good one. Unless you resort to insults, then sadly you would make my ignore list and our communications would end.

    I can't remember which political radio show I was listening to last night (might have been NPR), but they were discussing how Trump is the embodiment of everything that Trump supporters claimed to hate about Clinton and Obama.

    They viewed Obama as ineffectual, lazy, and a president who went on too many vacations and didn't work hard enough.

    They viewed Clinton as a criminal, a liar, a cheat who takes "pay for play" bribes, who's weak on national security and a warhawk who wouldn't stop meddling in the affairs of other countries, which would lead us into a war.

    So far in Trump's first 100 days, he's encapsulated ALL of those traits.

    Not sure which presidents you're talking about, since every president in my recent memory (going back to Reagan) most certainly did not renege on all of his promises, appoint incompetents to his cabinet, nor spent almost every weekend playing golf in their first 100 days. Even George W. Bush, one of the worst modern presidents (well, second worst as of 2017), didn't do that.

    Or... when they said dinner, they were not talking about dinner in two time zones. It's like saying you will play WoW with your friend in China after dinner, for one of your mates to respond that it's too late... his dinner already happened... :|

    /whoosh

    The point is China approved them on April 6 NOT April 7.

    Thus the dinner had NOTHING to do with them being approved since they were ALREADY approved when the dinner happened.

    Either:
    A) Trump suddenly decided to break another one of his election promises and do a 180 on his china stance right after they were "nice" to his daughter.
    B) Trump suddenly decided to break another one of his election promises and did a 180 on his china stance, and then China is suddenly "nice" his daughter.

    Either way has the horrible stench of corruption.

    He never said he wouldn't work with China.

    Yes, I said it. No, I don't care about the "but they won't change if you just insult them!" crap. So sick of watching our nation slowly grind ahead like we're trying to drive a car with a parking break on because cycle after cycle they believe the same shit, vote for the same assholes, and just endlessly hold us all back.
    Preach on, brother.

    He never said he wouldn't work with China.

    He actually said he wanted to work with china, but as long as it benefits *both* countries. Looks like he's doing ok so far

    When did Trump marry Ivanka, on some unknown trip into the backwoods of W Virginia?
