Ok. A “bit miffed” is hardly how I feel about this shit Government for Sale. What is going on here? Is it possible that the man governing the county is this brazen? The guy who’s speeches at every one of his political rallies past and present contains anti-China rhetoric that inflames the attending masses into jingoistic hysteria. The guy that professes we must take away jobs in China and bring them back home. The guy that threatens to punish countries that do any business with Iran or North Korea. That guy? And on top of it with this maneuver Trump chooses to discard the warnings of U.S intelligence sources that the phones mentioned could be used to conduct espionage. I guess its’ OK to ignore inconvenient U.S. law and national security and change political/trade policy course as long as the pay-off is more money into the president’s pocket. Somehow Trump has managed to avoid addressing the hypocrisy of using foreign labor to manufacture his branded products. But this! WTF!
Then there is this Pay for Play Unbelievable. A little less than a year ago when a Qatar billionaire and former prime minister of the country declined to invest in the Kurshner’s financial albatross, all of a sudden the Trump administration threw support behind the embargo that Saudi Arabia and three other regional countries instituted against Qatar. Now that the the Kushner’s have essentially persuaded a Qatar backed investment company to bail them out, all is well and President Trump has instructed the middle eastern states that are blockading Qatar to end the sanctions.
This is absolutely in-your-face corruption, and you could easily call the Kushner case extortion. Both of these exploitive developments just recently occurred, within days of each other. But there is no kind of lingering discussion about any of it, because, once again, the news cycle involving the Trump administration is diverted by yet more scandal and attempted obstruction. Every time one door of the Mueller investigation appears to be closing, another one opens up. The list of characters involved in campaign intrigue grows longer every week. How Giuliani can make a demand that Mueller wind up his investigation is absurd. The loose ends that keep cropping up are evolving into a Gordian Knott. From my perspective unraveling this mess could go on for years.
Unless the investigator is really, really good. Which brings me to my personal conspiracy theory. Mueller is that good and Trump knows it. It’s the only explanation I can think of that would propel Trump to contradict entrenched policies of his that stoke his base of support. And the Kushner thing should not be ignored. Father and son have been scouring the world to find someone to save them from bankruptcy, and Qatar has thrown them a life-line. The end is near, but so what? Trump connections have salvaged his son-in-law’s business, and the president might as well personally cash in at every opportunity before the roof caves in. What’s going to happen? Kushner’s have a signed agreement with a Qatar investment firm, and basically whatever schemes Trump can come up with to pile up personal wealth will be untouchable. He might as well keep milking the cash cow while he still can.
The good news here if you are disgusted with the Trump presidency is it really appears Mueller has something on Trump he will not be able to deny. Whether it is collusion, corruption, obstruction, conspiracy, treason, or egregious financial misconduct, Trump’s Gordian Knot of malfeasance is so complicated that at its untying there is bound to be something personally embarrassing. One thing for sure. Whatever the outcome of the Muller investigation, Trump and his family will be laughing all the way to the bank.
