HE COULDN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT AMERICA. IT'S ALL HIM.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump says that Chinese President Xi Jinping has given him assurances that Beijing would take no action toward its long-stated goal of unifying Taiwan with mainland China while the Republican leader is in office.

Trump said that the long-contentious issue of Taiwan did not come up in his talks with Xi on Thursday in South Korea that largely focused on U.S.-China trade tensions. But the U.S. leader expressed certainty that China would not take action on Taiwan, while he’s in office.

“He has openly said, and his people have openly said at meetings, ‘We would never do anything while President Trump is president,’ because they know the consequences,” Trump said in an excerpt of an interview with the CBS’ program “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday.

U.S. officials have long been concerned about the possibility of China using military force against Taiwan, the self-ruled island democracy claimed by Beijing as part of its territory.

7. Make that in crypto coins if you would, please, Mr. Xi

8. China has been hoarding gold bullion for some years now.

They want to float the Yuan as soon as they can.

I wonder if Trump prefers gold or crypto.

10. But if Trump was out of office--have at it!

Not thinking for one second of established US policy or what it would mean to world stability if China went for it regardless of who was in the White House.
