The Travails of the ChiComs

Surber brings up a matter which we'd known about several days ago.

...To find the news, I read the South China Morning Post, which is worried spitless that the Red Chinese economy will tank like its stock market has....

(Its stocks overall have declined in value by 40% in the last three years. Our stocks are up 33% since we elected Trump. In the eight years from Obama's election to Trump's, the Dow rose by 33%.)

Obozo's SecState Clinton owed a great deal to the ChiComs and she did what she could for them, by focusing the US on the Russkie Menace. 


Trump does not owe the Chinese anything.  Amazing what just one election can do, eh?
