China Trip.

With what Trump has done with the Panama Canal, Venezuela, other South American Countries, Tarriffs on China, and now Iran. He is the first is President to push back on the CCP and be more competitive. I appreciate him looking for a peace through strength approach with them. I hope it leads to the CCP losing power over the Chinese people one day. It's going to take future Presidents doing the same to get there.

JUST IN: Eric Trump is now going to SUE MSNOW and Jen Psaki after she publicly defamed him, claiming he’s SELF DEALING in China using his father, and engaging in other malicious activities GOOD, NO MERCY,

JUST IN: Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi has just revealed President Trump SPILLED IT ALL after his PRIVATE meeting with President Xi, as SOON as 47 got onto Air Force One Trump got into the details with his friend Takaichi, on one condition: She has to keep it private! WE LOVE JAPAN!
WOW! President Trump announces he expects Chinese President Xi would TAKE Taiwan when he's no longer in office — and is calling on chipmakers to move to America ASAP Xi knows. This is why we can't let the Democrats take power again! "Now, with me, I don't think they'll do anything when I'm here. When I'm not here, I think they might, to be honest with you!" "So I'm not sure that they do anything if it remained as is." "And I think they probably would do something pretty harsh, and then they would be met harshly and bad things will happen. So no, it's not that. We talked, by the way, last night we talked a whole night about that."
Correct . I would say everyone got the message. Including the Communist Brennan. Wouldn't you like to know about all the conversations and deals Brennan really made?
Some historical context worth adding, Nora

@CIA
Director to visit Cuba. These visits remind of the Obama-era engagement process, albeit with new political and economic circumstances. John Brennan traveled to Havana in 2015 and met with Col. Alejandro Castro Espín, Raúl's son, as part of the secret diplomatic track that produced the December 2014 announcement and the broader Obama-era opening. The intelligence channel has been a recurring instrument in the limited US-Cuba diplomatic toolkit when the foreign ministry track cannot carry the message. What is genuinely unusual about yesterday is the public photography; CIA Directors typically do not pose for the camera on trips of this kind, and the Agency's own social-media release of the images, now compounded by the embassy stop with Chargé Hammer, is a departure from how these channels have historically been handled. I am not sure what the messaging strategy is meant to accomplish; the substantive work does not require it, and for some matters, unhelpful.
