Trump news on Youtube Dec 17 2018

President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to Arlington National Cemetery Saturday with a large umbrella to protect himself from the elements

Trump arrived around 2.15pm to observe the activities taking place there for Wreaths Across America, which decorates the graves of fallen troops for Christmas

It came a month after Trump drew heavy criticism for skipping an appearance honoring fallen World War One soldiers at a U

S.military cemetery in France because of the weather.Trump said at the time poor visibility and steady rain had grounded Marine One, and that the Secret Service was unable to make security arrangements for the 55-mile drive to the cemetery

He was also criticized for failing, upon his return from France, to visit Arlington to mark Veterans Day

Trump later explained that he was 'extremely busy on calls for the country' that day, but added, in an interview with Fox News, 'I should have done that

' On Saturday, Trump arrived at Arlington unannounced, and was escorted through part of the cemetery by an official

Trump walked gingerly though the rain-soaked grass and conversed with the female official, as two uniformed soldiers and a Secret Service agent trailed behind

The President was the only one of the small group who had an umbrella.Every December, Wreaths Across America places wreaths on the graves of fallen soldiers at Arlington and other cemeteries

More than 75,000 volunteers placed wreaths at 245,000 Arlington gravesites last year

The Pentagon says that this year the group shipped 1.75 million wreaths to 1,640 locations across the U

S.'They do a great job, a really great job.Thank you,' Trump said during the visit at Arlington

In brief remarks to reporters, he said the government was working to expand Arlington, where more than 400,000 men and women are buried, by purchasing nearby land

'We're working very hard on it.We'll get it done.' After walking through the cemetery and chatting with the official for several minutes, Trump took a question from a reporter on the recent federal court ruling that found Obama's health care plan unconstitutional

'On the assumption that the Supreme Court upholds, we will get great, great health care for our people,' President Donald Trump told reporters

'We'll have to sit down with the Democrats to do it, but I'm sure they want to do it also

' Arlington, on land once owned by a descendant of George Washington, lies directly across the Potomac River from the capital, just a few minutes' drive away

It marked the latest time that Trump appeared in public with his trusty black umbrella, which has been the subject of considerable controversy several times

In January, Trump was accused of abandoning First Lady Melania Trump and son Barron to the elements after he boarded Air Force One under the comfort of the umbrella, but leaving the family members exposed

In October, the President baffled observers by appearing unable or unwilling to collapse the umbrella, leaving it on the rolling stairs to Air Force One to blow in the wind

Trump slams NBC and 'SNL' as 'Democrat spin machines' after skit shows an alternative reality - Duration: 10:03.

President Donald Trump slammed NBC and 'Saturday Night Live' as a 'Democrat spin machine' after the late-night show aired a skit showing an alternative reality where he wasn't president and everyone was better off

The president also hinted at legal action, alleging defamation and 'collusion.' 'A REAL scandal is the one sided coverage, hour by hour, of networks like NBC & Democrat spin machines like Saturday Night Live

It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials.Should be tested in courts, can't be legal? Only defame & belittle! Collusion?,' he tweeted Sunday morning

Trump is a favorite subject of the comedy show and his presidency has proved ripe for skits in the program

But defamation would be difficult for the president to prove and win in court as parody is protected free speech under the first amendment

Saturday night, 'Saturday Night Live' opened its program with a White House-themed parody of iconic Christmas movie 'It's a Wonderful Life

' Alec Baldwin came back to play Donald Trump, who suddenly finds himself in an alternate reality where he's no longer in the Oval Office

The black-and-white sketch titled 'It's A Wonderful Trump' begins with Baldwin's Trump wishing that he had never become president

He is then guided by Kenan Thompson, Kellyanne Conway, his supposed new wife 'Hernia' and others share what their lives look like in a world where Hillary Clinton is president instead

The show's host Matt Damon reprised his role of Brett Kavanaugh while Ben Stiller and Robert DeNiro stepped in as Michael Cohen and Robert Mueller, respectively

The skit opens with Baldwin's Trump standing on a White House balcony and remarking: 'Well, I don't think I can do this anymore

I think I might actually eat a salad and explode.' Thompson - playing the role of a spirit named Clarence - then appears and asks him what's wrong, to which Trump replies: 'Oh, it's awful

Everything is falling apart.Sometimes I wish I had never been president.' Next thing he knows, Trump finds himself in the White House surrounded by familiar faces played by a star-studded SNL ensemble

First up in the string of confrontations is Aidy Bryant as Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who has become a PR representative for Facebook, Ashley Madison, and 'The Romaine Lettuce Association'

Next is Kate McKinnon as Kellyanne Conway, who Trump says is looking 'healthy and vibrant'

She responds by saying: 'Actually that's because I'm actually no longer eaten from within by lies

And after we lost the campaign, the devil gave me back my soul.Adding a jab related to real-life Conway's recent marital troubles, she says: 'Excuse me, I have to go find my husband, who I speak to now

' After she walks away, Trump asks Clarence: 'Wait, so Hillary is president?' The ghost replies: 'That's right

In this reality, all she had to do to win was visit Wisconsin once.' Trump inquires: 'Well, did they find her e-mails?' to which Clarence responds: 'They did

They were all Bed, Bath and Beyond coupons.' Eric and Donald Trump Jr, as played by Alex Moffatt and Mikey Day respectively, appear as much more intelligent versions of themselves

When asked what had changed, Clarence tells Trump: 'Well, since Eric does not run the entire trump organization, he was able to attend adult education classes

' Eric says: 'Merry Christmas, father.Or as they say in Spanish, Feliz Nasty Dad.' Cecily Strong reprised her impression of Melania, who had divorced Trump, was happily married to Papa John and suddenly doesn't have an accent

'They said being around you all the time was hurting my language skills,' she says

Ben Stiller came back as Michael Cohen, who without Trump's presidency was no longer facing prison time

Trump asks: 'Michael Cohen, shouldn't you be in jail after you flipped on me?' Cohen replies: 'What? I would never, ever flip on you

You're my best friend.And since it's Christmas, I just want to say, you taught me everything I know

'Every single thing I've done is because you directed me to do it.And I hope everyone knows it

We're a team like O.J.And Kato, or Lyle and Erik Menendez.'I'll see you tomorrow at the grand opening of Trump Tower Moscow!' Beck Bennett played Mike Pence, who was DJ-ing the Christmas party in the sketch

'It's so great to be myself.Thank god I was never your vice president,' he says.'I would just be sitting in meetings you with and Pelosi and Schumer just staring out in space imagining this

' Damon's Kavanaugh isn't on the Supreme Court in the alternate universe, as the character remarks: 'Me on the Supreme Court? With my temperament? Are you insane?' 'No, they went with that nerd Merrick Garland

But on the plus side when I tell people I like beer, they find it charming and not like I'm threatening violence

'Plus, I have so much more time now to hang out with P.J.and Squee and needle d*** Nick and no means yes Nate

' Robert De Niro capped off the cold open as Mueller, telling Trump: 'I have something for you

' Trump asks: 'Is it a subpoena or your final report?' 'No, it's a picture of my grandson,' Mueller replies

'Been spending so much more time with him since I don't have to investigate some idiot for treason

' After meeting with all the guests Trump says: 'Wow, this night has put everything into perspective

I have had an epiphany.I guess the world does need me to be president after all.' Clarence replies: 'Yeah, that was not the lesson at all

BREAKING MUELLER CAUGHT HIDING EVIDENCE BOMBSHELL NEWS WOULD CLEAR TRUMP! SEND MUELLER TO JAIL NOW! - Duration: 18:37.

BREAKING MUELLER CAUGHT HIDING EVIDENCE BOMBSHELL NEWS WOULD CLEAR TRUMP!

SEND MUELLER TO JAIL NOW!

The decision by President Donald Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen to plead guilty

to making false statements to the Senate Intelligence Committee has been described as nothing short

of a "bombshell" capable of taking down the Trump administration.

This impression has only been bolstered by Trump tweeting about it, essentially calling

Cohen a Judas and saying he "lied for this outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a

full and complete sentence."

The political discernment behind those tweets will be debated for some time to come, or

at least until the next news cycle starts in about three hours.

Regardless, they did make the president sound like a man who had something to be afraid

of.

And therein lies the great problem with the tweets: At least from what we know so far

from court documents, fear is probably not the correct reaction.

Author and commentator Paul Sperry, best known of late for his work with the New York Post,

analyzed what we know so far about the indictments in an article published Monday by RealClearInvestigations.

Contrary to the en vogue media theory that Cohen's guilty plea is — at long last

— the falling domino that will topple the entire Trump administration, Sperry wrote

that what we know thus far from the Cohen filings is actually exculpatory for the president

even as Cohen is admitting he lied about how long he was involved in proposed Trump real

estate project in Moscow.

"The nine-page charging document filed with the plea deal suggests that the special counsel

is using the Moscow tower talks to connect Trump to Russia," Sperry wrote.

"But congressional investigators with House and Senate committees leading inquiries on

the Russia question told RealClearInvestigations that it looks like Mueller withheld from the

court details that would exonerate the president.

They made this assessment in light of the charging document, known as a statement of

'criminal information' (filed in lieu of an indictment when a defendant agrees to

plead guilty); a fuller accounting of Cohen's emails and text messages that Capitol Hill

sources have seen; and the still-secret transcripts of closed-door testimony provided by a business

associate of Cohen."

And this includes the putative link to Russian leader Vladimir Putin in the indictment everyone

seemed to be mesmerized over.

"On page 7 of the statement of criminal information filed against Cohen, which is

separate from but related to the plea agreement, Mueller mentions that Cohen tried to email

Russian President Vladimir Putin's office on Jan. 14, 2016, and again on Jan. 16, 2016,"

Sperry wrote.

"But Mueller, who personally signed the document, omitted the fact that Cohen did

not have any direct points of contact at the Kremlin, and had resorted to sending the emails

to a general press mailbox.

Sources who have seen these additional emails point out that this omitted information undercuts

the idea of a 'back channel' and thus the special counsel's collusion case."

"Page 2 of the same criminal information document holds additional exculpatory evidence

for Trump, sources say.

It quotes an August 2017 letter from Cohen to the Senate intelligence committee in which

he states that Trump 'was never in contact with anyone about this (Moscow Project) proposal

other than me,'" he continues.

"This section of Cohen's written testimony, unlike other parts, is not disputed as false

by Mueller, which sources say means prosecutors have tested its veracity through corroborating

sources and found it to be accurate."

Mueller also doesn't take issue with Cohen's statement that he "ultimately determined

that the proposal was not feasible and never agreed to make a trip to Russia."

Other sources seemed to indicate that there was less than there might appear in the Cohen

plea.

"Though Cohen may have lied to Congress about the dates," a Capitol Hill investigator

told Sperry, "it's clear from personal messages he sent in 2015 and 2016 that the

Trump Organization did not have formal lines of communication set up with Putin's office

or the Kremlin during the campaign.

There was no secret 'back channel.'"

"So as far as collusion goes," he continued, "the project is actually more exculpatory

than incriminating for Trump and his campaign."

Whether or not that's true remains to be seen.

The Mueller investigation can be a very tight ship when it wants to be and we don't know

everything the special counsel has.

We likely won't know everything until we see Mueller's final report.

However, what Sperry seems to have collected is a whole lot of evidence that, to quote

the inimitable Peter Strzok, "there is no big there there."

While Cohen was involved with a go-between named Felix Sater who claimed he had some

connections with the Russian leader, "the project never went anywhere because Sater

didn't have the pull with Putin he claimed to have.

Emails and texts indicate that Sater could only offer Cohen access to one of his acquaintances,

who was an acquaintance of someone else who was partners in a real estate development

with a friend of Putin's."

The Kremlin was never involved with the project in any manner, according to Sperry's sources,

and no one traveled to Russia to try and make the deal happen.

In other words, Sater was less connected than that dodgy lawyer who took part in the infamous

Trump Tower meeting involving Donald Trump Jr.

Both seem to have gone nowhere.

But tell that to the media.

"The actual texts of the plea deal and related materials filed last week in federal court

do not jibe with reports and commentary given on several cable news outlets and comments

of Democrat leaders," Sperry wrote.

"CNN said the charging documents, which reference the president as 'Individual 1,'

suggest Trump had a working relationship with Russia's president and that 'Putin had

leverage over Trump' because of the project.

"'Well into the 2016 campaign, one of the president's closest associates was in

touch with the Kremlin on this project, as we now know, and Michael Cohen says he was

lying about it to protect the president,' said CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer.

"'Cohen was communicating directly with the Kremlin,' Blitzer added."

Really, now.

CHELSEA CLINTON DEFENDS BARRON TRUMP AFTER HE'S ATTACKED BY LIBERAL JOURNALIST - Duration: 16:25.

CHELSEA CLINTON DEFENDS BARRON TRUMP AFTER HE'S ATTACKED BY LIBERAL JOURNALIST

Jonathan Chait, a left-wing writer for New York Magazine, joked that Barron Trump should

be the President's chief of staff, in part because he's not old enough to be tried

as an adult.

The insult prompted a backlash on social media, including a scolding by another famous First

Child: Chelsea Clinton.

Chait responded to an article in which Nick Ayers, chief of staff to Vice President Mike

Pence, turned down the offer of accepting the same role for the President.

The write-up included mention of selling points for Ayers, which Chait then shared and offered

up his own points as to why the job should go to Barron instead.

The columnist couldn't resist the urge to suggest that while the younger Mr. Trump might

commit a crime in the role, he'd still go unscathed due to his age.

First Daughter Chelsea Clinton stands up for Barron

I may not agree with her a good portion of the time, but former First Daughter Chelsea

Clinton was even dismayed by Chait's joke at Barron's expense, and let him know about

it.

Clinton reminded the lefty journalist that Barron, at the age of 12, is still just a

kid and "deserves to be left alone."

Chait responded by going into a lengthy explanation as to why the joke is actually about Donald

Trump.

They say if you have to explain the joke, then it really wasn't all that funny to

begin with.

If you have the time to read his explanation, proceed below.

If you don't have time to read that drivel, you're in luck.

Chait also provided a handy synopsis of why his joke about Barron Trump isn't really

about Barron Trump.

Barron is a perpetual target of the left The left has been unceasingly attacking Barron

Trump, and Chelsea's insistence that they stop isn't going to put an end to it any

time soon.

Some of the attacks have been incredibly vile.

Recall, if you will, actor Peter Fonda threatening to kidnap Barron Trump and "put him in a

cage with pedophiles."

Or Rosie O'Donnell and acclaimed Hollywood director Danny Zuker teaming up on social

media to mock Barron's reaction to Kathy Griffin's beheading gag.

Then there was the time former Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings mocked the First Son for being

upset over Griffin's stunt.

Chait, like the others, will face no repercussions for their comments or jokes.

This is the norm in the era

of Trump.

Trump-Xi Summit: A Win for Trump or Another Beijing Trick? - Duration: 31:41.

President Trump and Xi Jinping met during the G20 summit.

What surprised the American team the most?

President Xi engaged in a level of detail -- you could even say he was selling this.

Xi backed down from a tough tit-for-tat stance; what is the real reason?

China feels like it's economically breaking down since its economy has been going downward

while the American economy is improving.

The Dow fell 800 points after the summit due to competing accounts from the White House

and Beijing.

Does the American public really believe Chinese media?

When the market moves, it's because investment bankers and financial professionals who are

aligned with the Chinese side of things are unhappy.

Is Trump close to hitting a homerun in the trade war with China?

Welcome to Zooming In, I am Simone Gao.

The Trump-Xi meeting at the G-20 summit last weekend took many people by surprise.

Before the summit, most pundits predicted there would be very little outcome.

Trump would persist on structural changes and Xi would refuse.

Most likely Beijing will revert to its old tactics of agreeing to something but never

really doing it.

They would intend to buy their time in order to come up with new ways to maintain the status

quo.

But this time it felt different.

Xi Jinping kicked off the conversation with a 30-45 minute monologue.

He detailed a substantial concession list from the Chinese side.

It seemed he did everything to prove his commitment before the American hawks.

Does he really want to give up what he absolutely wouldn't before?

If so, why the change of heart?

Let's explore the causes in this episode of Zooming In.

After the Trump-Xi meeting at the G20 summit, accounts from Beijing and the White House

about what the two leaders discussed and agreed on didn't match up.

According to a White House press release, President Trump agreed to leave tariffs at

10 percent on $200 billion dollars' worth of product starting January 1st, 2019.

He will not raise it to 25 percent at this time.

China agreed to purchase a substantial amount of energy, industrial, and other products

from the United States to reduce the trade imbalance between the two countries.

China agreed to start purchasing agricultural products from American farmers immediately.

The White House also said Trump and Xi agreed to immediately begin negotiations on structural

changes with respect to forced technology transfer, intellectual property protection,

non-tariff barriers, cyber intrusions and cyber theft, services and agriculture.

Both parties agree that they will try to complete the transfer in the next 90 days.

If they can't reach an agreement within 90 days, percent.

Larry Kudlow, the director of the national economic council, attended the Trump-Xi meeting.

He described what he observed in a teleconference with the media.

I think this is just an enormous, enormous event.

Enormous event.

And I know we've been down this road with China in the past and we've been quite disappointed

with the lack of results and follow-through.

And that includes my own participation, which began with the Beijing trip.

I guess I started out as someone who was rather optimistic, but nothing happened so I turned

somewhat cynical.

This one covers so much ground and so much detail.

We've never seen this before.

And furthermore, we've never seen the hands-on participation by President Xi before.

In fact, that dinner was quite remarkable.

First of all, I -- it's the first time I've seen President Xi up close and personal.

I don't know him at all.

So I saw the chemistry between President Trump and President Xi.

You know, we've been hearing that they're friends and so forth.

I actually saw it.

And I think if you're a cynic and a hardened cynic, you would say, "Well, you know, that

stuff is just -- it doesn't mean anything."

And we'll get to the cold, hard facts in a minute.

But I do think it means something.

I do.

I think personal relationships matter and we'll see how this turns out.

But I will warn you I am cautiously optimistic about this.

And I secondly want to note that President Xi engaged in a level of detail -- you could

even say he was selling this, which was, in my opinion, quite unusual for the head of

state.

Guys like me are supposed to know the details.

He did.

He made the pitch himself.

Vice Premier Liu He, the top economic economics guru, as you know, actually told us -- we

had two private meetings with Liu before the dinner.

Liu kind of flagged it in the second meeting Saturday.

He said, "I'm not going to say anything.

It's going to be President Xi."

And we reported that to President Trump because that's quite unusual.

And he wasn't winging it, he was well prepared.

And so I was impressed with that and I felt that bolstered the Chinese commitment.

I may be wrong, but I believe it did.

According to Kudlow, Xi Jinping actually did the bidding directly.

White House National Trade Council Director Peter Navarro was also present and echoed

this account.

Peter Navarro: It was extraordinary to have the president of China himself at that dinner

spend the first 30 to 45 minutes laying out the parameters in detail of a deal — that's

never really happened in the history of the U.S.-China relationship.

The way this generally works is that the minions meet and talk about these things.

This was president-to-president, so that's very much different as well.

According to the American team, not only was substantial ground covered in the meeting,

but the Chinese team used an important word: "immediately."

The other point I want to make is, when we met with Vice Premier Liu He, he said several

times -- and I pushed him on this -- that the China changes, with respect to tariffs

and non-tariff barriers and other structural issues that we'll get into in a few moments,

would begin immediately.

I don't think that's come out yet in the press reports.

I did mention that in some of the interviews that I did this morning, "immediately."

And I said, "What do you mean, 'immediately'?"

And he said, "Immediately."

I said, "Like Monday?

Get going, Monday?

That would be very persuasive."

And, I said that to his top deputies.

So we'll see.

But, I think, I can tell you I've never heard that "immediately" commitment before.

China's official Xinhua News agency agreed with its counterpart in describing a friendly

and constructive atmosphere.

But in terms of what was actually talked about and agreed upon, it depicts a different picture.

According to Beijing, the U.S. and China agreed to stop adding new tariffs, without mentioning

it's only a temporary cease fire.

The report said the next step is to work to eliminate all tariffs.

There is no mention of the 90 day negotiation period and what happens if the two parties

don't reach an agreement within three months.

Xinhua also said China will further open its market and increase imports based on the needs

of China's reforms and the Chinese market.

The report didn't mention the immediate purchase of large amounts of U.S. agricultural

goods.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's press briefing was strictly in line with the Xinhua

News agency's report.

The two leaders have reached an agreement to stop raising new tariffs on each other.

China expresses its willingness to expand imports according to the needs of its domestic

market and people, including the purchase of marketable goods from the United States,

so as to gradually alleviate the trade imbalance.

In a response to mounting criticism from Chinese citizens that the media concealed important

details of the Trump-Xi meeting, chief editor Hu Xijin of China's Global Times defended

the Chinese government.

He said it is normal for diplomats to highlight information that is beneficial to their country.

He went on to say his media did not hide such information.

The Global Times also criticized the Trump administration for highlighting Beijing's

agreement to purchase $1.2 trillion dollars of American goods while failing to mention

where the U.S. made concessions.

It listed examples, like the U.S. hasn't mentioned Made in China 2025 for a while.

It also seemed to stop attacks on China's state-owned enterprises and related industrial

policies.

The Global Times is in an awkward position.

It still has to attack America even if it wants to somewhat differ from Xinhua.

It is likely this slight difference was also ordered by the regime.

The real question is why did the Chinese Communist Party feel the need to hide the details of

this meeting at all?

Here is my discussion with Chinese political strategist Pokong Chen.

In your opinion, why did the Chinese communist regime hide part of the Trump-Xi meeting from

its people?

The regime orchestrated this, as I had anticipated.

Simply because this is almost the last chance for it to warm up China-U.S. relations and

end confrontation between them.

This is also the last reprieve President Trump and the U.S. have granted him after Xi's

repeated requests.

So, evidently, it was China that made substantial concessions to the U.S.

You may call it caving in, admitting defeat, or a signal of sincerity.

It was flagged as "surrender," in accounts of Russian and Indian media.

That's why the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), who had been so assertive and high-profile,

was reluctant to publicize the truth.

We remember Xi's previous public remarks, claiming to "fight to the end," "teeth

for teeth," and "never back down a single step."

He even swore to prevent Trump from taking advantage of China like cutting off mutton

from a grown sheep.

So defiantly, so absolutely.

Despite such statements Xi's huge concessions made him unable to face the Chinese people,

which may provoke civilian criticism, political unrest or a power crisis.

As a result Xi Jinping and the Chinese communist regime concealed details of the talk.

Xi started the talk with a lengthy speech, offering great concessions, according to Navarro.

Why did he do so?

How is the Chinese communist regime doing amid the ongoing trade war?

The Chinese regime repeatedly employed a delaying tactic.

Soon after Trump took office they staged a "100-day negotiation," which ended up

in failure due to the CCP's delay.

Later Vice Premier Liu He came to the U.S. for another rounds of talks.

But no good faith had been found on the part of the Chinese regime.

Then the U.S. laid aside the negotiations.

China didn't ask the U.S. to resume the talks until its economy dropped to a dangerous

point with the escalating trade war.

However, Trump declared more than once that he wouldn't restart the negotiations so

soon, saying that China was not ready to reach a deal.

The U.S. didn't agree to launch this meeting until many promises, even from Xi himself,

were made.

So the spotlight of this talk was the fact that Xi spent 30 minutes elaborating his concessions

to the U.S. team at the very start of the summit.

This was done for two reasons.

One, Xi almost lost his reputation for the U.S. part.

Back in 2015, Xi made two promises to then-American President Obama: one, the South China Sea

would never become militarized, but China ate its words later; two, China's cyber

theft targeted at American businesses would be stopped, which turned out to be more alarming

than ever.

Therefore, Xi lost (or nearly lost) his credibility in the U.S.

Further, the past two years' interactions with the Xi administration taught the U.S.

counterpart that the barrier to Sino-U.S. talks or ties was no other than Xi himself.

Both Mr. Kudlow, the director of the national economic council, and President Trump showed

that Liu He and others consented to a deal, but finally Xi stood in the way.

So this time, Xi Jinping himself had to stand out and air his own statements and commitments.

Otherwise this meeting would be impossible.

Moreover, this posture unmistakably signaled that Xi has the authority of giving a final

say.

Only by doing so could Xi gain his credibility from the U.S.

Again, the last chance for him.

There are three reasons for his willingness to back down.

First, China is the inflicting party, with the U.S. being the victim, thereby accounting

for Xi's concessions.

Secondly, compared with American democracy, Xi's domination in a party state like China

paved his way to concessions, whose authority can stifle dissent either from the CCP or

from the Chinese society.

Thirdly, China feels like it's economically breaking down since its economy has been going

downward while the American economy is improving.

If market transfers and manufacturing collapse occurs, China's whole economy will be shaken.

As a result, Xi Jinping had to offer sweeping concessions.

Just now you mentioned that China feels like it's breaking down economically.

Then, how serious is that situation?

Primarily because China's economic pattern is heavily dependent on foreign exchange,

capital, and trade.

China is the largest foreign trading country in the world.

Its income mainly comes from this source, which also makes up its largest portion of

foreign exchange reserve.

However, since the trade war the U.S. levied tariffs ranging from 10 percent to 25 percent

on Chinese imports worth $253 billion, which has made Chinese goods less competitive.

Currently, markets are transferring; goods from southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Indonesia,

Thailand, and the Philippines, are rushing into the U.S. foreign capital.

We also note that it is rushing into southeast Asia and other regions.

So communist China is less competitive in the world.

Moreover, China's economy mainly consists of manufacturing, which takes up 40 or 50

percent.

In the past four decades, China has established its status as a manufacturing power, whose

collapse will cripple China's economy, too.

Now China uses very plausible, mild or misleading terms to describe its economy: "slowed economic

growth," or "economic slowdown."

The reality is this: downward, or zero growth or even negative growth.

So with this background, if the trade war drags on, especially when the tariffs on Chinese

imports worth $200 billion rise to 25 percent and those on the remaining $267 billion, again,

increase to 25 percent, China's economy will face the risk of being fundamentally

shaken, as in the manufacturing sector.

Even worse, the Chinese regime's unfair or illegal means will no longer work in terms

of intellectual property and market access.

I believe its economy will be hit hard as a whole.

Mind you, the legitimacy of the Chinese communist regime (or its superficial legitimacy) in

the past decades has rested in nothing but its economic growth.

Once an economic downturn occurs to private enterprises or ordinary people, I judge that

trend may politically shake the CCP's authority and even Xi's own authority.

I also asked Greg Autry his opinion on the summit.

Mr. Autry is assistant Professor of Clinical Entrepreneurship at the Marshall School of

Business at the University of Southern California.

He also co-wrote the book "Death by China."

Regarding the Trump-Xi summit, some analysts say Trump was fooled by Xi Jinping.

Xi will not really make substantial concessions.

Instead, they will just trick the U.S. in order to buy some time to come up with new

ways to maintain the status quo, just like what they did with previous administrations.

Do you think Trump will be fooled and manipulated again by Xi Jinping?

I don't think that Donald Trump is easily fooled.

I do think, however, the expectations of the United States' government as a whole and

the financial interests that go beyond the government, and particularly, multinational

corporations and investors want to see some sort of negotiation and agreement, so there

was a great deal of pressure on Trump and the Trump team to at least appear that they

were open to doing so.

So as long as Xi said some of the right things, I think that they were required to give China,

frankly, a little more leash.

And we're just going to have to just wait and find out, of course, that those promises

made by Xi are false, which they always are.

But, unfortunately, I think the president was in a situation where he couldn't look

like that bad guy.

He had to let Xi, one more time, make a false promise.

And I think the fact that Trump set a very tight deadline on it of 90 days before he

upped the tariffs, and that deadline starts, not on January 1st, but it starts right now,

makes it clear to me that they don't intend to mess around with this for very long.

In your recent article in Foreign Policy, you wrote, "Over the last two years, establishment

pundits shifted from spouting nonsense about China's inevitable progress toward capitalism

and democracy to asking whether tariffs are the right way to confront a dangerous regime

we all agree is built on lies and cheating."

So what about that?

Do you think Trump has pinned his success on trade alone, more specifically, are tariffs

the only tool or the best tool at Trump's disposal?

I think that of all of Trump's policies, his trade policy has been the most effective.

U.S. unemployment rate is at a record low.

GDP growth is exceptionally high.

People on the street are happy with economic performance, and just the opposite is happening

in China.

So he's achieved what he wanted, which was leverage over the Chinese leadership in an

economic realm using the tariffs.

That said, that's not the only tool that would be available to the administration if

they wanted to pursue this further.

One of the things they could do would be look at visas for Chinese executives and Chinese

students.

The recent arrest of a Huawei executive says to me that they're looking very seriously

at the actual behavior of individuals involved in the intellectual property theft and transfer

and threats to U.S. national security.

It's also quite reasonable to assume that the U.S. will begin looking at reciprocal

laws.

So if Chinese organizations want to come to the U.S., they'd be forced into joint partnerships

very similar to the way that U.S. companies are forced into joint partnerships often with

Chinese state-owned enterprises in order to do business in the Chinese market.

We could also force Chinese companies to transfer technology in order to have access to our

market the same way that the Chinese government has done.

And if they don't have any technology, perhaps we could charge a market access fee where

they need to essentially pay for us to develop technology if they're going to come into

our market.

The fact that U.S. companies and individuals can't really own property in China, and

yet Chinese companies have been allowed to come into the U.S. and buy up real property

and large swaths of land and mineral resources, which are not available to U.S. firms operating

in China, we should level those rules out and prevent Chinese access to real estate,

to land, and to mineral resources.

Coming up, besides Trump, what else caused Beijing to make concessions?

Leading up to the Trump-Xi summit, the stock market showed confidence until December 4th,

when the Dow Jones Industrial Average suddenly fell nearly 800 points.

Bond yields also plummeted.

The Washington Post attributed the market downturn to the differing U.S. and China accounts

from the G20 summit.

The Post challenged some of Trump's claims, saying they could not be confirmed by officials

from the administration.

It also quoted an anonymous former official criticizing Trump, saying, quote, "You don't

do this with the Chinese.

You don't triumphantly proclaim all their concessions in public.

It's just madness."

MSNBC's headline was more blunt: "Trump's 'incredible deal' with China doesn't

appear to exist."

The slew of reports made me wonder if there were discrepancies in the accounts between

the White House and Chinese state-owned media.

Does the American public believe the Chinese media more?

I asked Mr. Autry whether they do or not.

On December 5, the Dow fell nearly 800 points.

The Washington Post suggested it dropped because of the contradicting reports from China and

the U.S.

My question is this: If there are discrepancies in the description between the two sides,

are the American people really inclined to believe the Chinese side?

Otherwise, why did the stock market fall?

So the Chinese have a much better perception management campaign, the Communist Party has

the best global propaganda system in the world.

And they're very good at making their message be felt.

And, frankly, most American multinational corporations are more aligned with the Chinese

interests.

That's where most of their jobs are and their products are produced.

And most American investment bankers and finance folks that get quoted in the media or make

donations to D.C. think tanks that produce the dominant paradigm that ends up in the

financial media, these folks are all aligned with the Chinese side, and they take their

messaging right from the Communist Party, and they repeat it.

And that's easy to do, and the American public is used to that and comfortable with

that, in fact.

But don't assume that because you see that Dow fall significantly or the bond market

adjust that that's the American public.

Most of the American public are not active traders of equities.

And the ones that are, as individuals, that's a very small amount of the market.

When the market moves, it's because investment bankers and financial professionals who are

aligned with the Chinese side of things are unhappy.

And so I think they've realized that this isn't going to happen.

And so they've pulled back a bit, and that shouldn't be a surprise.

Talking about the U.S. economy, a number of investors, including Goldman Sachs, predicted

a U.S. recession next year.

What do you think?

Well, first of all, we've got to realize we've had a ten-year growth spurt, so having

a recession next year would not be a surprise.

There are certainly a number of indicators that many of the markets, including the real

estate and equity markets, are, as we say, long in the tooth, meaning that they've

grown for so long that a correction is to be expected.

So I don't know that that won't happen.

The yield curve and other indicators suggest that it's entirely possible.

I would hope the Federal Reserve would stop raising interest rates at this point because

that has helped move us to that position.

But we're in a really strong position and, if we underwent any normal recession, it wouldn't

be a significant problem.

The problem with Goldman Sachs and most of the investment banks that control a lot of

the financial media opinions, their interest is only in what happens next quarter and returning

short-term profits because the analysts and traders at those companies retire early, and

the CEOs did help back the multinational corporations.

They're only, on average, a CEO for five years.

So they want short-term results.

They don't care about the long-term interests of the United States, the long-term interests

of workers, our national security, or any of those other things.

And Donald Trump understands that, and I don't think he's going to take their opinions

more seriously than any of the other stakeholders he represents.

That said, do you think a prolonged trade war with China will really hurt the U.S. economy?

Or has it already hurt the U.S. economy?

So far there's no sign that it's hurt the U.S. economy.

And one of the important things is, of course, the people who make money off of the China

trade have been trying to scare American consumers into believing that the prices of their goods

would increase substantially, and that just isn't true.

It's important to understand that any time a tax, a tariff, or additional cost comes

into the supply chain for a product, that that cost is not just deposited on the consumers.

Businesses can't just raise the price by 25 percent and make consumers pay more.

They have to deal with the reality of the economic demand curve that exists: What are

consumers willing to pay and able to pay for certain goods.

And the consumers will pay a small portion of it, but most of it ends up reducing the

margins of the producers and the distributors in the chain.

And we've already seen that the U.S. retailers aren't willing to take that cost, and they've

pushed it right back on the Chinese producers.

So not only are Chinese producers seeing less demand, but they're also getting a lot less

margin for their products.

So, so far, it hasn't hurt the U.S. economy.

That said, trade is a great, valuable thing, and we'd love to have more of it, I'm

sure.

But if trade means you get to sell 100 million or even a billion dollars' worth of soybeans,

but you have to look the other way while China steal 400 million dollars' worth of high

technology every year, that is not realistic, and we've got to get over this kind of anecdotal

"look at that, look at this particular loss" in one market and realize that the overall

scope of things has been very, very bad for the last 20 years.

And with the current deficit that we run with China, if we just cut off trade with China

and didn't buy or sell them anything, American GDP would go up by about two-and-a-half percent,

all other things being equal.

And that's pretty incredible.

So we need to be realistic about what the overall effect is and not focus on the trees.

The forest is more important.

Coming up, what's happened since the summit?

On December 1st, the same day President Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, agreed

to a trade war truce, Canada arrested the chief financial officer of China's Huawei

Technologies, Meng Wanzhou.

Meng is the deputy chair of Huawei's board and the daughter of the company's founder,

Ren Zhengfei.

The arrest warrant was issued by the United States a week earlier.

A Canadian justice then issued a warrant on November 30th.

Meng allegedly committed fraud in 2013 by lying to U.S. financial institutions about

Huawei's connection with Hong Kong company SkyCom, which reportedly sold U.S. goods to

Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions.

Huawei is the world's largest maker of telecommunications network equipment.

In 2004, CISCO sued Huawei for using stolen Cisco technology to develop a lineup of routers

and switches sold in competition to the American company.

Cisco later dropped the lawsuit in exchange for a promise from its rival to modify its

product lineup.

On December 4th, 38 Chinese government branches published a united memo laying out an array

of punishments over intellectual property theft.

These measures include establishing a social credit system to target people and entities

who commit severe intellectual property rights violations.

The social credit score could restrict companies' access to borrowing and state-funded support.

On the same day, President Trump tweeted, quote, "Very strong signals being sent by

China once they returned home from their long trip, including stops, from Argentina.

Not to sound naive or anything, but I believe President Xi meant every word of what he said

at our long and hopefully historic meeting.

ALL subjects discussed!"

What does all this say about the U.S.-China trade war and President Trump's attitude

toward China now?

Let's hear form Greg Autry and Pokong Chen again.

On December 1st, Meng Wanzhou, Huawei C.F.O. and daughter of the founder of the company,

was arrested in Canada for extradition to the U.S.

What do you make of her arrest?

Do you think it is related to the U.S.-China trade war?

Absolutely.

It, to some extent, couldn't not be because the focus on the penalties that the U.S. is

putting on China are not necessarily over the specific products on the list, but over

the intellectual property theft and behavior that requires the transfer of intellectual

property.

And Huawei is like the poster child for stealing U.S. intellectual property and as a tool for

the Chinese party to insert network infrastructure and communications infrastructure into Western

countries that it can further use to inflict cyber espionage and industrial espionage on

those countries.

So it's the perfect message to send.

I don't know whether the arrest was intentionally related to that, but Huawei has been a company

that I identified back in 2013 when I testified to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on

China cyber espionage as the primary target to look at.

So I'm not surprised by that.

So you think this is not a coincidence?

It says something about trump's attitude towards China?

I think it's possible.

And, again, I think you might see that they take action on visas for corporate executives

or maybe even for students or, who knows, because they've got a lot of other tools

in their pocket and they don't intend to let a foreign power continue to steal U.S.

assets.

And I think they're going to be pretty strong about that.

And tariffs are not the only way to do it.

So if they put the tariffs on hold, like I said, they could look at those reciprocal

rules, they could look at all these other issues.

Can America finally get what it demands from China this time?

Let's hear from Pokong Chen.

Will Xi Jinping honor his promises?

Or will the U.S. meet its goals within 90 days?

For Xi and China they face two challenges: one, are they willing to keep their promises?

And two, are they capable of performing their commitments?

For the first, Xi is reluctant to do that.

He tends to cope with Americans by delaying, stealing and tricking.

Lip service is his top option.

As to his ability, that's another question.

Currently, there's little chance for the Chinese regime to try to cheat the Trump administration

again.

The presence of all American hawks declares their assertiveness.

Further, the lead negotiator was Robert Lighthizer, also a hawk, who served as deputy U.S. trade

representative in negotiating with the Japanese 30 years ago, and who is a U.S. Trade Representative

and a barrister.

According to Navarro, Lighthizer will conduct reciprocal negotiations with China under "International

Law" and other laws, chapter by chapter, article by article, until structural reforms.

The deadline given by Trump is only 90 days.

So if no deal is reached then, the trade war will go on and get escalated.

For the CCP, therefore, it certainly wants to break its promises, to escape, and to delay.

But I guess it'll have great difficulty in doing so.

There's little room for Xi.

Considering his breaking promises twice, a third time would bring China-U.S. relations

to the brink of complete confrontation.

It's not just an issue of new Cold War.

An all-out conflict in every fronts, I'm afraid.

The CCP would be most likely to repeat the collapse of the former Nazi Germany, militaristic

Japan and the former Soviet Union.

So right now, the CCP finds itself at a critical crossroad, having to make a hard choice to

where to go.

Before, there was an understanding that communist China and Xi Jinping are unable to make structural

changes because it would change how the Communist Party runs the economy, how it runs the country,

and basically how it stays in power.

So changing these would require political reform of some sort, which has always been

its bottom line that can't be broken.

So by agreeing to these structural changes, will Xi Jinping and the communist regime really

be giving up their bottom line?

It is still hard to believe at this point.

There is only one way to find out: time.

So stay tuned to find out if Trump really will hit a homerun in the U.S.-China trade

war.

Trump 'took drugs' and treated pageant contestants 'like meat' claims TV insider - News Live - Duration: 2:55.

  A former crew member on the US Apprentice has claimed Donald Trump took drugs on the set of the hit show, and treated teenage beauty pageant contestants like "pieces of meat"

  Noel Casler, who worked on Celebrity Apprentice while Donald Trump was host, and also worked on his Miss Teen Universe pageants, claims the President would crush up Adderall, an amphetamine, and snort it

 Casler claims Trump took the drug to calm down, because he has trouble reading and would get nervous following cue cards on the show

 He also claimed Trump acted inappropriately with teenage beauty pageant contestants, inspecting them like they were "pieces of meat", sticking his fingers in their mouths to look at their teeth and inviting them to his penthouse suite

"  Casler, who formerly worked in 'talent logistics' for live shows, recounted the stories during a stand up comedy routine last week

 He claims to have signed a 24-page non-disclosure agreement.  But he told the audience: "I didn't know then he was becoming president

Now, it's 'no way dumbass.' I'm telling you everything I know."  He referred to the US President as a "speed freak," saying he would become nervous when he had to read from cue cards on the set of Celebrity Apprentice

 He said: "So he gets nervous and he crushes up these pills. That's why he's sniffing when you see him in debates, and when you see him reading

 "That's why he's tweeting. He's out of his mind. It makes sense if you think about it

 "Methamphetamine was invented by the Nazis to keep the fighter pilots up all night on bombing runs

 "So it makes sense that Trump would use it to hate-tweet in his self-centered rage at 4am on the toilet

"  He went on to describe what he claims was inappropriate behaviour he saw from Trump during his beauty pageant days

 "I worked on a bunch of those beauty pageants he had in the '90s, too. That was a good idea, Miss Teen Universe? Yeah, that's like giving Jeffrey Dahmer a cooking show," he said

 "He would line up the girls on the side of the stage, and he would inspect them

Literally, he would stick his little freaking doll fingers in their mouth and look at their teeth

"  "I'm not kidding, this is true, he would line them up like they were pieces of meat

He'd be like, 'You, you, and you, if you want to win I'm in the penthouse suite, come and see me

'"  Casler's comments were reported in the US by People magazine.  The White House has yet to respond to Casler's claims

Trump's Most Hardcore Supporters Are FINALLY Starting To Crack - Duration: 4:58.

Two reports have come out this week saying that some members of Donald Trump's hardcore

MAGA hat wearing base are starting to not believe his cries of witch hunt.

The two reports, one from axios in one from CNN say that some of the most ardent Donald

Trump's supporters in this country are starting to believe that these investigations are bad

news for the president and not because it's giving him bad publicity, but because they're

starting to think that he may have actually committed the crimes that they're saying he

committed.

As I said a few seconds ago, they don't believe his cries of witch hunt any more.

Now, here's the thing, and this is why we have to take these kinds of reports with a

grain of salt.

It is possible that Axios and CNN and whoever else is reporting this.

They went out there and they managed to find the two or three hardcore Trump supporters

who are starting to say, you know what?

Maybe there is something to these investigations so they could have cherry picked their people.

That's always a possibility.

What is also a possibility is that cracks are starting to surface in the facade of Donald

Trump's base.

I believe that is happening here.

I believe we're starting to see some of that.

It's not going to be on a large scale, but if you start with one or two people and they

start telling their hardcore, Donald Trump supporting friends.

You know what though?

You know what though?

There's something to this, that law suit up in New York that investigation up in New York

that has nothing to do with the Russians.

That's the big one and that's actually what a lot of these Donald Trump's supporters are

out there saying right now.

They're worried about that one.

They're worried about Mueller now too, but they're more worried about what's happening

in New York and the fact that Donald Trump is very clearly individual one.

It's getting harder and harder for the president to convince people that he did not break the

law, especially with regards to the campaign finance violations that are at this point

crystal clear from the testimony of Michael Cohen, the tapes from Michael Cohen and everything

else that has been uncovered in that particular investigation.

Now whether or not they believe that that warrants removal from office is another animal

entirely, and that's not necessarily something that these other reports we're talking to

these people about, and to be honest, it's not even time to start having those conversations

just yet.

That is still the thing we have got to be very patient on.

It has to be crystal clear.

It has to come from one of these bodies that is investigating the president.

If people in the house try to go too soon, try to move on the president, like he said,

he used to move on people in that access Hollywood tape, but if they move on them too soon, they're

going to blow it.

You're not going to get a second opportunity for this.

Wait for the information, wait for it all to come in, wait for that base to crumble

a little bit more.

That's what's really important here too, because if Democrats are sitting in DC and they're

working on policy instead of investigations, letting the independent bodies out there do

the investigations for them as they already are, then the Democrats can finally come back

and say, all right, 2020 voters.

Here's the legislation that we put together, the Republicans.

Here's all the list of them who didn't vote for it.

We've been trying to have your back.

We've been trying to make the country better.

Oh, and by the way, have you seen the results of those investigations?

Those look really bad.

Your party said that these weren't actually crimes, but it turns out they are, so now

you have a very clear choice.

You have a party that's cool with criminal sitting in the White House that voted against

all of these policies that you specifically told us you wanted or you can vote for us

because we've got the legislation ready to go today and can probably sign it and have

it in law within the next month or two.

That's the choice that these voters are going to have to make and that is why it is incredibly

important for Democrats to make sure they're working on policy first and investigations

second.

Nothing comes before policy.

We've got Mueller doing investigations, we've Got New York doing investigations and those

alone are doing a good enough job of eroding a little bit of Donald Trump's support, which

is going to be vital for the Democrats to win back the White House in 2020.

And if they put the nail in the coffin by focusing more on policy and selling that policy

to the public than I don't think Trump stands a chance in the 2020 election.
