    You took the bait hook line and sinker. Firstly it is not news it is a post from facebook. Secondly I posted it to show that idiots like you have been posting shit like this for years as if it was real factual information. I posted that just to see if you would immediately call it out as fake news. It worked. Once again right wing hypocrisy has been exposed. Boon Mee maintained a Benghazi thread for years that was full of fake news. You must remember it because you posted in it countless times almost always with fake news from the right wing fever swamps.

    My job is done here. You just spit the dummy. Exactly what I wanted.

    Trump was set to deport Guo Wengui on the advice of a GOP donor with interests in China, but changed his mind when he learned that Guo was a member of Mar-a-Lago.

    John Kelly in the firing line at the minute.

    He was presented as a curb to Trump's worst tendencies and lies but his attack on Rep. Wilson just shows that he has drunk the orange Kool-Aid.

    What an utter Kunt.
    Trump as well.
    This guy is not fit to be President of the U.S.
    I suppose the letter mentioned something about 'fake news' and orange cunto took the bait.

    Trump sought dissident's expulsion after hand-delivered letter from China – report Wall Street Journal says the US president called for Guo Wengui’s deportation after casino owner Steve Wynn brought letter from Beijing government




    Donald Trump called for the deportation of a Chinese dissident living in the US, after receiving a request from Beijing hand-delivered by a casino owner with business interests in China, according to a US report.
    The
    Wall Street Journal described a Chinese government attempt to put pressure on Guo Wengui, a real estate tycoon living in exile in New York, to halt his allegations of corruption in high places in China.

    A group of officials from China’s ministry of state security, who entered the US on visas that did not allow them to conduct official business, visited Guo in his New York apartment in May, and used veiled threats in an attempt to persuade Guo to stop his
    accusatory tweets, which have a wide following in China, and return home.
    Guo shrugged off the pressure and made a recording of his conversation with the officials, part of which he posted online.After that visit,
    FBI agents confronted the Chinese officials at New York’s Pennsylvania Station. The Chinese visitors first claimed to be cultural diplomats and then admitted they were security officials. The agents warned them they were violating the terms of their visa and told them to leave the country.

    However, two days later, just before leaving the country, the Chinese officials paid a second visit to Guo, triggering a debate within the administration over whether they should be arrested. FBI agents were posted at John F Kennedy airport ready to carry out the arrests before the officials boarded their flight, but they were not made, after the state department argued it could trigger a diplomatic crisis.

    Guo has filed an application for political asylum in the US, which is pending. But according to the Journal’s account, Trump called for Guo’s deportation in a discussion on policy towards
    China, describing him as a “criminal” at an Oval Office policy meeting in June, on the basis of a letter from Beijing accusing him of serious crimes.

    The report said the letter had been hand-delivered to him at a private dinner by Steve Wynn, a Las Vegas casino magnate and Republican National Committee finance chairman with interests in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau, for which Wynn relies on Beijing for licensing.

    The marketing director for Wynn Resorts Ltd, Michael Weaver, told the Journal in a written statement: “[T]hat report regarding Mr Wynn is false. Beyond that, he doesn’t have any comment.”
    Weaver did not respond to a request for comment from the Guardian on what part of the story was false and whether Wynn had ever delivered a letter from the Chinese government to Trump.

    The Journal report said that aides tried to persuade Trump out of going ahead with Guo’s deportation, noting he was a member of the president’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. The aides later ensured that the deportation would not go ahead.

    There was no immediate response from the White House or the state department to a request to comment on the report. A state department representative told the Journal: “Decisions on these kinds of matters are based on interagency consensus.”

    A justice department representative said: “It is a criminal offense for an individual, other than a diplomatic or consular officer or attache, to act in the United States as an agent of a foreign power without prior notification to the attorney general.”

    Presumably Wynn will be rewarded by the chinkies with a casino license, tax break or the like.

    ^^ There will be more and more incidents like this you can count on it. The administration is way understaffed on every level not to mention completely dysfunctional. Foreign governments will no doubt exploit this to the fullest.

    I'd hazard a guess that using businessmen to pass on messages from a government to the president is nothing new.

    Having governments using businessmen to pass on messages from a government to a businessman that happens to be president is another.

    I should have been more clear. I was more referring to this incident;

    A group of officials from China’s ministry of state security, who entered the US on visas that did not allow them to conduct official business, visited Guo in his New York apartment in May, and used veiled threats in an attempt to persuade Guo to stop his accusatory tweets, which have a wide following in China, and return home.
    Guo shrugged off the pressure and made a recording of his conversation with the officials, part of which he posted online.After that visit,
    FBI agents confronted the Chinese officials at New York’s Pennsylvania Station. The Chinese visitors first claimed to be cultural diplomats and then admitted they were security officials. The agents warned them they were violating the terms of their visa and told them to leave the country.

    However, two days later, just before leaving the country, the Chinese officials paid a second visit to Guo, triggering a debate within the administration over whether they should be arrested. FBI agents were posted at John F Kennedy airport ready to carry out the arrests before the officials boarded their flight, but they were not made, after the state department argued it could trigger a diplomatic crisis.
    The fact that the state department let that go is mind blowing. Those officials should have been arrested on the spot. This is the type of thing that foreign governments will exploit. A weak and inept state department is very dangerous.

    I think it's a win-win.....


    The dissent is staying, continuing to speak out against China.

    China got a favor done, they were blatantly caught fucking about and were given a pass, which hopefully will be returned. If not, there will be a next time.

    It's not the state department, it's the FBI in charge of making the arrests. It also could be that trump's lapdog there follows orders rather than the rule of law.
    "I was a good student. I comprehend very well, OK, better than I think almost anybody," - President Trump comparing his legal knowledge to a Federal judge.

    Yeah. I thought my linked article giving commentary to your WSJ article was spot on:
    "Donald Trump has displayed a number of alarming instincts during his time in the Oval Office. One of these is a tendency to endorse the policy position of whomever he last spoke with; another is a penchant for making major geopolitical decisions on the basis of how they’d affect his people — which is to say, people who’ve demonstrated personal loyalty to him.
    The former instinct recently led the president to call for the deportation of a Chinese dissident seeking asylum in the United States — while the latter caused him to change his mind."
