Tin foil hat time: Trump tries to contact the Chinese for dirt on Biden et al

Yes, Trump already publicly asked the Chinese for help with the 2020 election.

Any possible way he would be stupid/scheming enough to try to covertly contact the Chinese and strike a deal? Dirt on Biden/another Democratic challenger in exchange for trade concessions or something else ?

In the same vein, we could substitute Iran or North Korea.

Did you ask if we was scheming enough or stupid enough?



He is a psychopath, he is a narcissist and sociopath, he will do anything, sign off on as many deaths as necessary to gain in anyway.

Actually, the Chinese AND the North Koreans AND the Iranians. The only thing that would stop him, to me, is the fear that he would get busted and get convicted in the Senate.

Most GOP are taking money directly from our enemy and the only honest way to deal with that is arrest them and if we cant do that, well, nobody will like this but an extreme option may have to come in.

Trump has put out a “help wanted” sign when it comes to election help. ANY country now knows what he wants and that he’s willing to deal US government support to get it.

That’s the issue we’re facing now.

Maybe the Chinese told Trump to “ask us in public on TV and we’ll see what we can do”.
