It's always the same with these nationalist populist leaders. They pretend to be patriots while at same time doing shady business deals and making their families and friends rich.
I remember when we used to laugh at other countries for being bamboozled by criminal scum, now Americans are dumb enough to do it to our own country.

As of right now he's just doing a cost analysis as a businessman and making money. I know you hate that, but that is actually how a successful business works.
Actually I have 3 LLCs. Manufacturing, wholesale and retail and a service oriented company. I could easily have my products made in Mexico but I prefer to hire American workers; Usually disabled vets.
Trump even brings in foreign help to work in Mar A Largo. wtf?

The latest registration approvals won by Ivanka Trump Marks llc include business trademark rights on goods including bathmats, textiles and baby blankets. While Ivanka Trump has stepped back from running the company while serving as an adviser to her father, she continues to profit from the business.
In the last three months, with what experts say is unusual speed, China has granted final approval for 13 trademarks and provisional approval for eight more. According to the New York Times, Ivanka Trump now holds 34 trademarks in the world’s second-largest economy. While she does not have a large business in China, most of her US imports are shipped from there. Clothing has been exempted from tariffs threatened by her father as part of his aggressive trade policy.
... snip ..
Trump initiated a trade dispute with China earlier this year, imposing tariffs on steel and aluminium imports and later demanding that China boost imports by $200bn. In retaliation, China said it would target imports of US soybean and pork products. Amidst negotiations, the “trade war” was recently placed “on hold”, in the words of treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin.
By far the most politically contentious aspect of the dispute involves ZTE. The telecom giant is dependent on imports of US-made chips and was facing bankruptcy. In what was widely viewed as a peace offering to Beijing, Trump lifted the US ban, so long as ZTE committed to buying US parts and paid a $1.3bn fine.
The move was widely opposed in the US. On Sunday, the Florida Republican senator Marco Rubio warned that Congress would move to block the deal.
“None of these companies should be operating in this country,” Rubio told Face the Nation on CBS, also naming the Chinese telecoms firm Huawei. “None of them.”

She's going to be the first woman president in a little over 6 years so she's working on making connections.
She wasn’t born a American citizen, so she can’t be President, however, that didn’t seem to stop Obama so who knows.

Weren't they supposed to curtail new business deals while in office. Wasn't that the promise?
