Trump calls on China to join effort to tar Bidens
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Under the threat of impeachment over his request for Ukraine to look for damaging information about Joe Biden and his son Hunter, President Trump on Thursday called on China to also investigate the former vice president.
When asked what he was seeking from Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky in the July 25 phone call at the heart of the impeachment inquiry, Trump said he wanted the country to investigate the Bidens, then added that China should do the same.
Trump’s calling on a foreign government to investigate a political opponent is currently why Democrats are investigating him for potential impeachment. When Trump was asked at a Wednesday press conference what he wanted Zelensky to do, the president melted down .

China if you're listening . . .
Trump wanted China's help with Kim, now with this? Why would China help the perpetrator of a trade war with China?
Trump’s daughter Ivanka received approval from the Chinese government for a number of valuable trademarks last year, around the same time the president pledged American help for a troubled Chinese telecommunications company.
The sister of Jared Kushner, Ivanka’s husband and a White House adviser, has been under scrutiny about her efforts to secure Chinese investors for a family real estate project with the offer of prized U.S. residency permits.
It's OKAY because they're Trump's kids...
Seriously, the RW won't even acknowledge the hypocrisy.
I'll guarantee you one thing. When a Democrat wins the Presidency and they suggest that the Trump kids should be investigated, the GOP heads will explode.
Yes-- Trump really is that stooopid!
He has now publicly asked for China and the Ukraine to interfere in out election. What the fuck is it going to take?!?!?!?!?
Any review of the seeds here will prove to you that the RW deny that Trump did anything wrong.
Based on Trump's public behavior, not one of them that is a business owner would retain Trump as even a low level employee. Most of them who are loyal employees would report Trump's behavior to either their boss or to HR to protect co-workers and mitigate their companies liability.
Yet they insist that Trump should remain in the highest office in the land. The cognitive dissonance required is galactic.
Kidding? They deny Trump's actions, even after Trump has admitted to taking those actions. They have no defense for those actions so all they can do is deny, ignore, and lie.
And they deflect.
It's sounding more and more like Trump is feeling desperate about the security of his position.
I bet the world is laughing as he digs himself in deeper and deeper with each time he opens his own mouth.
He now seems to think that by upping Medicare he will be able to redeem himself, but, it seems that it too little too late. With every step he takes he sink lower and lower into the mud pit he himself has dug by thinking he is well above American law.
While he may have gotten away with all sorts of BS over the years and feels he is untouchable, every dog has its day, and it seems that his day has come to calling. He realizes he can't run away from it now, and he is scared to death. And it show every time he opens his mouth, every move he makes, and every lie he tells.
JMOO
What's scary about this is the a couple of foreign nationals and Ukrainian Americans got Giuliani's ear and the bullshit flowed right to Trump, who of course believes it.
Trump ignores every one in his Cabinet and in the IC but swills the pabulum served to him by the likes of Steven Miller and Giuliani. It's unconscionable, it's fucking up our relations with countries all over the world and it's demoralizing our Intel and State Dept.
Not to mention the fact that it's threatening our election process.
But hey, Putin and Trump get to make jokes about it so there's that...
He really thinks he is the Teflon Don.
The medicare thing is him trying to take attention away from how he is royally blowing it. Where I am grateful for any medicare upgrade, it is not enough for me to overlook one attaboy for all of the aww shits he has pulled. If his publicly asking China and the Ukraine to interfere in the next election isn't high crimes and misdemeanors, I don't know what it. Say either does dig up dirt and passes it on to Hair Hitler, I would bet that the Ukraine would get their funding and tariffs on China would lessen or disappear. With Trump it is quid pro quo.
I think the Medicare thing is simply a defection from the negative news of the Impeachment deal going on, and if in fact Trump does get reelected he will simply reverse anything good for the people as soon as possible. His promises are not to be believed, he is nothing but hot air. Just like the Great Wall he promised to build between the US and Mexico which still remains incomplete no matter how much money he has robbed from other more deserving projects, and our own military.
Yeah.....a great 'hero'. More like the "Joker."
What I think is that foreign nations should NOT be drug into investigating every bullshit conspiracy theory that Trump and his sycophants throw at the wall.
If Trump or his sycophants had SPECIFIC charges, they would have handed them over to Ukraine for investigation LONG AGO.
I know you don't like FACTS but the FACT is, the US has a Treaty with Ukraine for " MUTUAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE IN CRIMINAL MATTERS". Of course, Trump didn't follow that Treaty because it requires that requests be made in WRITING and that EVIDENCE supporting the request for assistance be documented.
So Trump merely spewing allegations of CORRUPTION! doesn't cut it. Pompeo, Barr, Volker and Sondland should all be questioned about why the Treaty requirements were ignored.
It's got the Democrats chasing supposed ghosts ….. huh !
Now how 'bouts that "Good Ol' Joe and Ukraine thingy. Didn't Joe threaten "Cash Holdouts" based on "Corruption" ?
Sounds like Trump just wants to continue what "Good Old Joe" started !
Obtuse.
"Shinny Object".
OR
"Equal Standard" ?
That's exactly what Trump's allegations of 'CORRUPTION' are.
If Trump wants to weed out corruption, he should start with himself and his own family.
I'm waiting for the press to take up the call to investigate all of the families of all office holders, starting with the pres, vp, congress and appointees. Watch out Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr, Eric, Devos family, Pence family, Moscow Mitch and his wife (whoa, thats a twofer), and I'm fine with throwing in the dems too, so lets get to it. And I hearby request help from any country willing to get the goods on all of them, and hope they remember when dems win they will know who was helpful! I think that pretty much sums up what Trump said.
