Some reaction to Trump's tweet about saving the Chinese smartphone company has been ridiculous, accusing him of 'U-Turns' and snide remarks about him 'working to save Chinese jobs'.

Trump does have a strategy for China and a lot of it is just an aggressive continuation of what Obama administration was already starting to do (what do you think Obama's 'pivot to Asia' meant?)

Trump realizes that there are bigger fish to fry and that killing off entire large companies can wreck his overall gameplan - and stepping in to help shows he will negotiate.

He does plenty of stupid shit. It's hard to point that out when you have a bunch of numbnuts calling some actual smart moves stupid.

A pro soccer team in Israel wants to rename itself in Trump’s honor
On Sunday, Beitar Jerusalem, one of the largest soccer teams in the Israel Football Association, announced in a statement that it wants to rename itself Beitar “Trump” Jerusalem. But the club will first need to get approval from the Israel Football Association, and then it will have to worry about the fact that Trump’s name is trademarked in Israel, the Jerusalem Post reported.

The announcement came on the eve of the formal opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday. Trump said in December he was relocating the embassy from Tel Aviv, keeping a campaign promise to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

The most racist team in Israel. According to their own fans.

lol. You're getting desperate in your search for equality. Racist Israeli is redundant. What part of God's chosen people sounds equal to you?
They call themselves the most racist fans in Israel. Not sure why you are trying to make this about me.

Great article by Frank Sinatra's son about missing suspicious banking activity reports pertaining to Michael Cohen.

Missing Files Motivated the Leak of Michael Cohen’s Financial Records | The New Yorker

"Suspicious-activity reports are kept strictly confidential, as a matter of law. “sars are secret, to protect the government and to protect financial institutions,” the former prosecutor told me. “I don’t think there’s a safe harbor for somebody who discloses it.” According to fincen, disclosing a sar is a federal offense, carrying penalties including fines of up to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and imprisonment for up to five years. The official who released the suspicious-activity reports was aware of the risks, but said fears that the missing reports might be suppressed compelled the disclosure. “We’ve accepted this as normal, and this is not normal,” the official said. “Things that stand out as abnormal, like documents being removed from a system, are of grave concern to me.” Of the potential for legal consequences, the official said, “To say that I am terrified right now would be an understatement.” But, referring to the released report, as well as the potential contents of the missing reports, the official also added, “This is a terrifying time to be an American, to be in this situation, and to watch all of this unfold.”"
