2-"“Some people may ask, if the US raises tariffs further, is it still necessary to continue the talks … the answer is that it’s as necessary to take countermeasures as to continue the talks,” a Taoran Notes posting read.
3-"The commentary seemed to imply that China was ready to retaliate if the US went ahead with a planned tariff increase set to take effect next week..Kuijs said the US would probably go ahead with the tariff plan on 10/15, triggering “some retaliation” from China"

.@maddow, did Trump pressure Tillerson to intervene with DOJ in order to get
Reza Zarrab released from jail on Giuliani's (Turkey's) behalf BEFORE he fired Preet Bharara? Is this case the real reason why Trump fired Bharara?
#WednesdayThoughts lawandcrime.com/high-profile/t…
According to my research, Trump fired Bharara on March 11, 2017.. I can't find the date of this other than '2017'.. but it's sure beginning to seem as tho Trump's been doing Erdogan's bidding all along, too.
Here's the original Bloomberg story, in it, the sources say that the meeting during which Trump pressured Tillerson to intervene was during the 'second half of 2017', but you know, I now cannot shake the feeling that Trump fired Bharara on behalf of Erdogan,

WB & Congress have contemporaneous notes saying that a Trump official said that Ukraine call was 'crazy' & 'frightening'..Fox News is reported to have broken the existence of the memo, yet it's also reported to have been 'leaked' by Congress. FASCINATING! nytimes.com/2019/10/08/us/…
2-"WASHINGTON — A White House official who listened to President Trump’s July phone call with Ukraine’s leader described it as “crazy,” “frightening” and “completely lacking in substance related to national security,” according to a memo written by the whistle-blower at the
3-"center of the Ukraine scandal, a C.I.A. officer who spoke to the White House official. The official was “visibly shaken by what had transpired,” the C.I.A. officer wrote in his memo, one day after Mr. Trump pressured President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine.."

This Politico pc talks about the extreme reach that the Trump Impeachment Investigation appears to be encompassing. Many have asked, who will go down with Trump? Here's a rundown of what that could look like. #MondayMorning
politico.com/news/2019/10/0…
2-"The vice president’s office, acting chief of staff‘s office, State Department, Energy Department, Office of Management and Budget and Justice Department are among the government entities quickly finding themselves ensnared in the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, joining a huge
3-"squad of White House lawyers, Cabinet officials, and national security staffers — many of them detailed from the Pentagon, CIA and elsewhere in the intel community — potentially tainted by the widening investigation.

Thread: #China has been 'hijacking the vital internet backbone of western countries' - Chinese government turned to local ISP for intelligence gathering after it signed the Obama-Xi cyber pact in late 2015, researchers say 👍A must read👍 zdnet.com/article/china-…
A Chinese state-owned telecommunications company has been "hijacking the vital internet backbone of western countries," according to an academic paper published this week by researchers from the US Naval War College and Tel Aviv University.
The culprit is China Telecom, the country's third-largest telco and internet service provider (ISP), which has had a presence inside North American networks since the early 2000s when it created its first point-of-presence (PoP).

Okay, I think I figured out what is Trump's ultimate game in this escalated US-China trade tensions and I think he will get it. Will share my thoughts in a thread soon! 😎
1) What is Trump's ultimate game? RECIPROCAL TRADE & INVESTMENT. Pissed off about higher tariffs vs the US & non-tariff barriers. Regarding #China 🇨🇳, doesn't like forced tech transfers, Chinese industrial overcapacity, gov subs. But how to get this? Investment+Trade policy
2)Implemented #taxreforms that impacts 50% of global FDI stock & favors US as a destination; USD2trn of REPATRIATION of funds, lower retained earnings of foreign affiliates; higher INVESTMENT in the US b/c of expensing, re-shoring of manufacturing. Basically, good for earnings💪

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

1) NEW THREAD directed to the thousands of new #Trump supporters who have followed me over the last week because of events in #Syria. I want to take this opportunity to make you consider things you are not aware of because of the bias mainstream media, which you guys know exist
2) in the US if you consider there reporting of Trump, especially pre-election. Many of you describe Assad as a dictatorship and his government as a regime. If we look towards the Syrian Presidential election in 2014, Assad won 88.7% of the votes with a turnout of 73.42%.
3) This is a significant amount of voter turnout considering the last time the US had a higher percentage per capita was in 1896. This would suggest that as the war has progressed and the jihadist element became more evident, the people recognised Assad as a source of stability

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
