So why did Trump hire Elaine Chao to work in his Administration?
Why did Trump let his daughter Ivanka work in the White House even though she couldn't pass the Security background check and continued to further her Trademark deals with China?
Why was Trump himself still making money off of The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China who pays rent for renting out space in his Trump Tower?
Kim Iversen was the Beyonce to The Hill's Destiny's Child 💯
This group ain't $h!t anymore.
But Trump hired Chao. What a clown.
But Americans criticize other countries for corruption
I don’t think Trump had much of a choice. McCommell told Trump who to put into many cabinet positions and had absolute control over federal and supreme court judges nominations. Trump wasn’t able to do many things he thought he would be able to do. RFK Jr tells a story about Trump asking him to be his official Vaccine Expert. Very soon after Trump took office, RFK Jr had a meeting with Trump to discuss it. He left feeling encouraged. On his way of of the building, he saw Bill Gates heading in. A couple of days later, he was told Trump is no longer interested in working with you. Even though Trump went rogue once in awhile, for the most part, he did as he was told.
Outstanding segment, Emily. Both liberal and conservative corporate media have swept this under the carpet.
She is not too be trusted has deep ties to China pretty much would love to give away ports to China
Hostility to China is job，investing in China is financial wisdom
Great job as usual, Emily!
Love these guys! respectfully different opinions, but staying with facts. It''s just great
McConnell is utterly useless.
Excellent analysis!
Besides Trump himself McConnell is the most responsible for Trump's loss in 2020. He stonewalled Trump's $2K Covid checks which was extremely popular and the Biden team pick it up and ran with it.
Generally not in agreement with Emily but this is a really good piece! This piece alone make Emily lightyears thread of anything you'll ever see on CNN, MSNBC or Fox…
of course politicains are connected to China, just because they talk badly about China, doesn't mean nothing. Politicans and many more Americans who talk about China have investments and make money from China. The point is, politicans both dems and repubs talk bad about anything and anyone and invest in those same things cause it makes money for them. Period. We the people
need to talk to each other and organize and create the kind of communities we would like.
Lol left or right everyone in govt is out to get that money
And everyday they're telling Americans to hate China…and Americans are constantly posting hate for China…go figure
the way that i see it is the wsj is racist for protecting elaine chaos conflict of interest because she is ethnically chinese.
WSJ whitewash. That the fourth estate is a fifth column against our Democracy is a third rail for politicians.
Katie Halper is a fraud. Legitimate working class fraud. One of the most privileged people in media. I have no respect for her
Emily, you are a gem. BTW, as to appearances of access: Most of these influence-peddlars are lawyers. They know they are supposed to avoid even "the APPEARANCE" of impropriety. They should at least be disbarred.
ive been screamin bout mcconnels wife.. i mean her father ? anyone?
so she is legit a chinese spy and noone cares😄😄😄😄😄
elaine chao was one to immediately step down after jan6.. saying she was so disappointed in trump😄
i am soooo happy a fellow wisconian has covered this …yesss girl yesssss
Get some! Nice work, Emily. I've been astonished at the lack of curiosity about Chao and McConnell's obvious ethical problems.
V good positioning and significance of conflict of interest, plus context. Great analysis.
Politics make strange bedfellows.
