China just agreed that the U.S. will be allowed to sell beef, and other major products, into China once again. This is REAL news!

James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!

...Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???

As a very active President with lots of things happening, it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy!....

Again, the story that there was collusion between the Russians & Trump campaign was fabricated by Dems as an excuse for losing the election.

1. There's NOT ONE THING that emanates from this guy that should be believed by ANYONE

2. I heard on the radio this am that China can now sell processed chickens to the US

This will hurt domestic poultry producers.

3. After that tweet storm I immediately thought of "Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play."

4. Read the article - not quite a win-win

http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/politics/china-us-beef-imports-trade-deal/

As another poster has pointed out, this opens the US market to cooked poultry products. I can't help but wonder two things - food safety, and the impact on US poultry producers.

The other part of this is that it opens the Chinese market to US payment processors. Cui bono? PayPal, MC, Visa, and Amex. I would also suspect that members of the buffoon's cabinet will benefit. I would also wager that this will do nothing to create new jobs in the US.

Can't wait for Krugman's analysis.
