Here it is, laid right out! Why China would prefer Trump to win instead of a Democrat ...




"Trump is a businessman. We can just pay him money and the problems will be solved," said a politically connected person in Beijing. "As long as we have money, we can buy him. That's the reason why we prefer him to Democrats."

Nowhere nearly as easy to manipulate as the Republican, Trump.

No wonder the Chinese government prefers him. Trade war?

Just give him the adult version of a lollipop, and he's tofu in their hands.

This isn't particularly smart .. and indeed flies in the face of reality. The Trump administration, and it's crazy assed trade wars, has meant real hardship for the Chinese economy. So .. they must be holding this "just pay him money" strategy in reserve for the second 4 years?

Has it occurred to you that you might be getting played .. just a little bit?

"China Fears Democrats, Prefer Trump Because He Can Be Bought"

It sounds like it might be bumper sticker time.

the word businessman should be replaced with "crook," "traitor," or "pimp."
