Here's the whole she-bang. Trump's debt to China is coming due & he can't keep it from the News

Trump, being a master at distraction, throws out Bleach as a cure. That's this week anyway.

QUESTION WE SHOULD BE ASKiNG IS, "What's Trump distracting us from?"

SNIP

Consider, then, that the $200+ million Trump owes the Chinese government is due "soon," per POLITICO, meaning Trump knows he has China's support for his re-election—as it has leverage over him it wants to keep—*and* that now is his time to cut a deal.
Trump owes tens of millions to the Bank of China — and the loan is due soon

(The president's financial dealings with the state-owned bank complicate his attacks on Biden.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/24/trump-biden-china-debt-205475)

It is in this context—(1) Trump owing the Chinese $200+ million;
(2) having them as a major renter bringing him tens of millions;
(3) he and his family knowing they want to cut a clandestine deal;
(4) him having coupled personal and U.S. policy and tried to hide it... {cont.}
(5) Pillsbury getting Biden dirt from the Chinese during the same 7-day period Trump demands it; and
(6) Trump warning the Chinese that he has "leverage" to get what he wants because of the trade war *he* started—at the moment coronavirus appears in China in November 2019.

When the truth is finally told about him & his money laundering mob family, no one in the world will stick the name Trump on any building again.

from what he's really doing behind our viewing eyes.

He's been laundering our Nat'l Treasure & our State secrets right into the hands of our worst adversaries.

Because he & his spawn are all in debt to every one of them.

the article says the loan is due in 2022...that's a lifetime. And it was written about before the 2016 election.

Trump’s ownership of the building received a smattering of attention before and after his 2016 campaign. But the arrangement with the Bank of China — and its impending due date in 2022 — has gone largely unnoticed.


The article is about the GOP stirring up anti-China sentiment, and trying to paint Hunter Biden as a grifter like Trump, using his father's name to get on the inside track. Isn't this the same stuff that was aired pre-primary?

Thank you Sen Duckworth & all who take Trump's distracting & outrageous news pressers as a certain reason to dig deeper & pull back the curtain of his side-show.

Enough is enough
