For perspective, Trump apparently has known bank accounts in only two other countries: UK and Ireland.
It isn’t like the guy has foreign accounts all over the place. He generally uses Western banks.
So, we have a Steele Dossier item alleging Trump paid bribes in China.

And we now have an undisclosed bank account in China.
And, lastly, we have reporting from earlier this year about Trump trying to have the law which makes it illegal for U.S. businesses to break U.S. bribery laws even in other countries.
“In 2017, [A Trump company] reported an unusually large spike in revenue — some $17.5 million, more than the previous five years’ combined. It was accompanied by a $15.1 million withdrawal by Mr. Trump”
Same thing happened with a Trump company in Vegas.
A lot of people are going to hate this and immediately reject it but hear me out.
The biggest mistake Democrats have made for years and years is being too nice.
We have cared far too much about politeness and decorum. We have treated a bloodsport like it was a bridge game.

Since at least when Obama took office (but more like the past forty years), we on the left and our elected representatives have clung to a suicidal fiction that ‘going high’ would save us.
Subconsciously, it is pleasing, at least partially, because it is self-inflating.

“We are better than that! We would never stoop to the lows of those people!”
While the right endlessly works to personally destroy people on the left, we’ve clung to the mantra of “attacking ideas not people” as if it was a bible verse.
