The Chinese government and its state-controlled entities spent over $5.5 million at properties owned by Donald Trump while he was in office, the largest total of payments made by any single foreign country known to date, according to financial documents cited in a report from House Democrats released Thursday.
Those payments collectively included millions of dollars from China’s Embassy in the United States, a state-owned Chinese bank accused by the US Justice Department of helping North Korea evade sanctions and a state-owned Chinese air transit company. Accounting records from Trump’s former accounting firm, Mazars USA, were obtained by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
In a report, the House Democrats say that China is one of 20 countries that made at least $7.8 million in total payments to Trump-owned businesses and properties during the former president’s stint in the White House, including his hotels in Washington DC, New York and Las Vegas.
he sold you out to the Chinese, the Russians, the Saudis, anyone who had cash and would play ball, you morons who voted for him
He sold us all out.
i didn’t vote for him or support him in any way… i knew he was a crook and a loser… i knew what to expect…
my fellow citizens sold me out… the people right across the street did…
I know it’s a low bar but I’m proud I’ve never once thought Trump was a good person. How over 70 million are that gullible, even when considering lead exposure, poor education, and right-wing misinformation, I may never fully understand…
Meanwhile the grifted continue to blame the poor immigrant fleeing crime & poverty south of the border while ignoring the big fish like China, Russia, Japan, and Saudi Arabia that are buying up massive swaths of land and resources. Hell even the King of Jordan owns two beachfront Malibu properties.
But it’s the poor laborer they’re worried about, lmao…
That’s the power of propaganda 🌈✨
I mean, they have to have some sort of predisposition to lean that way in the first place but i don’t think it’s necessarily born out of hate so much as fear
Been reading through Bloom Counties entire comic series. They were bagging on Trump in 1989. This is old news to us old people.
Of course they did. All his real American swag bullshit is made there too.

Uh, I believe it’s spelled JINA.
But JOE BIDEN!
Rich Scumbag Uses Position To Personally Enrich Themselves?
Ya don’t say???
This same shit could be written more than half of corporate America and political America (one and the same, I know).
It will be news when rich scumfucks don’t use their positions to personally enrich themselves.
There has never been a president so transparently corrupt. Prior rich scumbags would at least attempt to hide their corruption. We have witnessed the end of shame as a deterrent.
Definitely. But. It should not be normalized and society should be angry
But if he was in the pocket of the Chinese, why would he wear that pin?
As much as I find this appalling, I’m hesitant to believe the narrative provided. Everything I’ve read only claims a value while he was president, but does not say what those same entities got in years he wasn’t president.
If they got the same amount before he was president, then this is just rage bait. If data shows they gained significantly more during (and possibly after) presidency, then the rage is more justified.

It doesn’t matter legally. Carter sold his peanut farm to avoid breaking the law.
It’s okay folks he was getting paid by China before he was president. Checkmate Libs!!!1!
