Trump allowing 600,000 Chinese students to come in. Want's to "get along with China," which angers MAGA (www.rawstory.com)

This would be a massive reversal from Trump's policies so far, which have threatened international students' ability to enter the country and jeopardized the admissions of many top institutions — and it also contradicts his prior moves to revoke visas for Chinese students. But the new pledge, which was backed up by Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, provoked instant fury from the MAGA world.

Between squeezing rare earth metals trade and dumping US bonds, China’s got him by the balls. And he knows it.

No, no, no, this is the art of the deal. You make the worst deals possible, but only talk about a small percentage of it and get the media to back you up. Then, only a small percentage of the US even know how shitty his deals are.

Well shit, he's only screwing us over, so it is kind of a good deal for him. He's only got about 10 years lift at most anyway, what does he care?

This *evolved into a self-owned, depressing comment.
