Congressional Trumpians decided to make Ohio’s Jim Jordan their impeachment-bashing spokesperson. Jordan has those Sneaky Pete eyes that cunningly present his Angry Birds look. Mr. Jordan claims Rudy Giuliani was a rogue Trumpian who put pressure on Zelensky. Jordan claims Rudy is the bad guy, not Trump.
Mr. Jordan also blamed Gordon Sondland and Mick Mulvaney for making Trump talk to Zelensky in July. Jim made it sound like Sondland made up his quid pro quo story so he could go back to Brussels and enjoy the $4 million he spent to renovate the American embassy. Officials in Brussels claim the embassy didn’t need remodeling. But Sondland told the press he needed to add more bling in order for it to feel like home.
China wants Trump to remove $360 billion worth of tariffs before they sign the phase one trade agreement. The Chinese will drop tariffs that match that amount. Plus, they want the December tariff threat to go away. Mr. Trump plans to meet President Xi in December to sign a deal, but some news reports claim Trump didn’t authorize a tariff removal.
Mr. Trump’s tariff war continues to impact trade between the two superpowers. Chinese importers bought $9.4 billion worth of U.S. goods in October. That’s 14.3 percent less than they bought in October 2018. Chinese exporters shipped $35.8 billion worth of Chinese goods to the U.S. in October. That’s 16.2 percent less than October 2018.
Michael Bloomberg is in the race for president. Bloomberg’s decision will hurt Joe Biden more than Warren, Sanders, or Buttigieg. Bloomberg has a strong conservative following in the Party. Biden suffered a direct hit when the Trumpster tried to get Zelensky to screw him. But Biden also hurt himself by sounding like yesterday’s political news. Jess Sessions is in the Alabama Senate race. Jeff wants his old seat back, but some political analysts say Trump still wants to Twitter-piss all over immigrant-hating Sessions.
New York’s Attorney General Letitia James scored a win when New York Supreme Court Judge Scarpulla ordered Trump to pay $2 million for using his charitable foundation as a bank for his 2016 political campaign. Mr. Trump said his foundation gave away $19 million, and he never took a cut. The Trumpster claims the judge is out to get him like all government officials in New York.
