RE: Trump Encouraged China To Build Concentration Camps,

Riddle me this — if Trump encouraged China to build concentration camps, how do we explain this latest American policy against China:

TITLE: Trump signs sanctions bill over China’s Uyghur ‘concentration camps’

(EXCERPT)

President Trump on Wednesday signed legislation authorizing sanctions to punish Chinese officials responsible for human rights abuses against the country’s mostly Muslim Uyghur minority.

Trump quietly signed the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act without a public event.

The White House announced the bill signing about an hour after bombshell allegations in former White House National Security Adviser John Bolton’s forthcoming book that Trump told Chinese President Xi Jinping he approved of “concentration camps” used to detain thousands of Uyghurs in western China.

In the statement, Trump said that act “holds accountable perpetrators of human rights violations and abuses such as the systematic use of indoctrination camps, forced labor, and intrusive surveillance to eradicate the ethnic identity and religious beliefs of Uyghurs and other minorities in China.”

Trump said in a signing statement that he will ignore an allegedly unconstitutional provision that limits his ability to lift travel restrictions against foreign officials.

Did Trump NEVER intended to sign the legislation and only did it to counter Bolton’s allegations?

President Trump cornered the most accurate phrase in our times, NOT MAGA. It is the phrase, FAKE NEWS. The Leftist “news” PROPAGANDA is pervasive. It’s 24/7/365.
The Leftist media has abandoned all of their pretenses to objectivity. They are full bore anti-Trump propagandists for the democrat/socialist agenda.
And, they are no longer even trying to hide this fact.

You need to remember that the manuscript was sent to the WH National Security Council for review awhile back. So Trump and team already knew everything in it. Also the legislation mentioned has been sitting at COTUS and protects more than just Uighurs. I read the bill several weeks ago.
