The amount of women that support Trump is frightening.  I know women who would be horrified if any other man talked like this but like Trump.  It is beyond belief.

Trump Reportedly Considered Banning All Chinese Students From Studying in the U.S.
by Ryan General
7 hours ago

United States President Donald Trump was ranting about China a few months ago when he reportedly told a group of executives that “almost every student that comes over to this country is a spy.”

Now, it appears Trump aides nearly convinced him to stop issuing student visas to Chinese nationals who want to study in the U.S.,  according to a recent report.

Citing sources familiar with the discussion, Financial Times reported that it was White House aide Stephen Miller who has been pushing the idea to President Trump.

Known for his hardline immigration views, Miller was reportedly selling the idea that such an action would not only be a deterrent to Chinese espionage but can also hurt the elite universities which have been critical against his presidency.

However, U.S. ambassador to China Terry Branstad was able to convince Trump that Miller’s suggestion was “too draconian,” explaining that it would harm smaller colleges during an “intense” Oval Office meeting.

U.S. embassy officials in China also pointed out that Chinese students significantly contribute to the service-sector trade surpluses that most U.S. states are running with China.

The White House has earlier released a national security strategy document that included a promise to tighten visa procedures for some countries in order to “reduce economic theft by non-traditional intelligence collectors.”

During an open Senate Intelligence Committee hearing in February, Director Chris Wray also described Chinese students as part of a ”whole of society” threat to the U.S.

Instead of the proposed ban on Chinese students, the White House came up with new rules which shortened the length of visas for Chinese graduate students studying in “sensitive” fields like robotics, aviation, and high-tech manufacturing, which was instituted in June.

While the move has been hailed by supporters as a solution to China’s alleged espionage through academia, many have criticized it as making it more difficult for brilliant Chinese students to move to the U.S. and contribute to American innovation.

Screw this shithole country! We now have a conservative leaning Supreme Court. Even when Trump is long gone we are going to continue to feel the effect of Trump’s terror for many years to come. 🤮

Yes, and unfortunately it was well known that this would be the outcome when progressives were bitching left and right about Hillary Clinton and painting a false equivalency between she and Trump.  "They both have Wall Street ties and accept dark money, so what is the difference."

The Supreme Court is the difference!  Anyone who did not vote in 2016 is honestly culpable.

If Hillary Clinton were president, people could wage massive protests about Wall Street.  Instead, we have to protest things we should not have had to protest since 1998.

How pathetic.  A female saying how she hates feminism.  They should strip her of her right to vote, her right to equal pay etc.  You know the things feminists fought for.  To see gun toting trash like her speaking like this,  is an insult to women everywhere.

Love it.  

What David Tennant said was so true as well.  It really scares me that people are just accepting and shrugging off what Trump is doing.  Can feel a real shift even here in Australia.  People I know are openly and proudly viewing their racist, sexist, anti gay views etc now and feel validated.   Some of the stuff I have heard people say have shocked me to the core and they are singing it loudly from the tree tops.  When the President of the United States defends Nazis, mocks women, locks children up in cages, wants teachers to be armed in classrooms, mocks war veterans  dismisses victims in Puerto Rico and instead praises himself while talking in the first person ,pushes leaders from other nations out of the way, admires dictators  - the list goes on and on - and people are accepting it and even loving him,  that is frightening.  Plus getting people to hate the media and dismiss them at the same time.  If Trump gets in at the next election, it will be a very sad and frightening day now that people have seen him in action.

Watched a lot of footage of his 60 minutes interview.  There is a method in this buffoon's madness.  Blames the media, Plays the victim,  takes no responsibility for anything,  deflects every hard question by pointing the finger at something or someone else.  Easy for people to see through but I suspect his base of supporters would lap it up.  It truly is a blight on America to see this man being the leader of their country.

WTF !   This is too appalling for words.  Racist, sexist stuff to the extreme.  As if this particular Republican party would care about black men being falsely accused.  They are so insulting to black people by trying to pretend they care when they are racist to the core themselves against black people. Look at what they are dong and how they disrespect the Black Lives Matter movement.   Also what about the description of "white women screaming rape"  Also putting down women and portraying them as liars - fitting their own twisted sexist logic.   How low can they go to try and get votes and push their agenda.
