He's only in it for the attention and to line his own greasy pockets, and makes Tricky Dick look like Honest Abe in comparison.

This is exactly the type of journalism that is sorely needed these days, instead of the mindless 24 hour "news" channels.

US GDP per capita is over $80K, China's is under $15K - over 5x lower. Chinese households earn and spend far less. They are focused on saving, not big consumption. A trade ridiculous war won't fix this. It’s economic reality, not policy posturing, that drives spending behavior.

How deranged does a president have to be to appoint such a vile person as one of his closest advisors?

One day, this era may be remembered as the American Mass Psychosis. Hopefully, future generations will learn from the current delusion and figure out why critical thinking, media literacy, and education are more important than viral conspiracy videos and angry Facebook posts.

There goes our chance of discovering what a clueless, drunken adulterer might do with the US military. So sad!

I'm sure it’ll be an exhausting day of watching Fox News to find the next unqualified enabler willing to continue running the Pentagon into the ground.
