Politico: 'Trump Hypes Modest China Deal, Distracting from Impeachment'
Newsbusters ^ | January 18, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

In what is not really a surprise, Politico is looking at the trade deal with China through the lens of impeachment. According to Anita Kumar on Wednesday, the trade deal, which she labeled as "modest," is merely a distraction from impeachment. In fact, that is exactly what the title of her article says, "Trump hypes modest China deal, distracting from impeachment."

If you still didn't get the Politico message that the trade deal is supposedly about diverting attention away from impeachment, Kumar emphasizes that talking point in the very first sentence:

If the Iran regime was overthrown, Politico would interpret it as a modest change that only served to divert attention away from impeachment.

The impeachment hoax is doing nothing but turn more voters against the democrats. Every non political person I talked to thinks the democrats are a bunch of idiots. A lot of them weren't big Trump supporters before but they support him now against the Nazi democrats.

No one cares about impeachment, you morons.

No one is trying to distract from it, you liars.

The only ones being hurt by it are you.

You’re going to wear the scarlet letter “I”, and no one else.

The non-stop attempted coup by the leftists/derp-state has been nothing but one long distraction from all the great things President Trump has accomplished.

Ignore all the noise and look at his works. Would any other President(R) have accomplished as much? Looking back maybe Reagan, and that's about it.

Anita KUMAR’s bio is nothing more than bouncing from left wing “ journalism” to another.

Absolutely ZERO background in economics, yet she can opine on the China trade deal.

Just another Affirmative Action Jackson

Someone who’s fairly pro-China called it a complete win for Trump:

This was her response to Soleimani’s death:

Slick Willy fired missiles and endangered troops to delay his impeachment vote a few days in a desperate attempt to turn the public (media) opinion against impeachment.

Trump hypes modest China deal...

Modest deal is expected to increase GDP from about .5 to .75 and the difference between a GDP of 2% to 2.75% is a full 37.5 percent.

That is hundreds of billions of dollars of increased American economic activity and we all benefit.

If several hundred billion dollars is modest, what does the writer consider a significant deal?

Sleazeball Media:

Anything Obama did was “unprecedented”, “amazing”, or “strong leadership”

Anything Trump does is “modest”, “ordinary”, “nothing special”

Got it. No bias here at all!!!

From her tweet:

“China will not be able to avoid being dragged into a war over Soleimani’s assassination”

I’m no foreign policy expert but that sounds a little crazy.

I guess the market is easily distracted. It seemed to react to the “modest” deal.

Ahh, I love the smell of alternate reality in the morning. It smells like, desperation.

While I tend to dispute Politico’s assertion of “ modest” economic benefits of President Trumps trade negotiations and deals, it is beyond dispute that that Trump’s Phase 1 trade pact with China is earth shattering in its significance.

Its the first rational trade pact with China that actually takes America’s strategic interests into account and takes the first steps at addressing China’s predatory trade and monetary policies and practices. All previous trade pacts were sell outs that set the stage for the economic decline of the United States.

Furthermore, Trumps trade policies are critical to future global stability because they will force China to curb it’s aggressive, neo Imperialist policy to build a military capable of dominating Asia via force and intimidation while at the same time forcing China to focus on developing its economy to benefit the Chinese people, the vast majority of whom have been left out of Chinas economic explosion.
