Got a source for that, or are you making up your own inflamatory "facts" again?

...Trump offered all federal employees 7 months salary to quit. He signed two executive orders today to unilaterally dissolve some federal agencies.

You logically cannot believe hes not in his night of long knives period. Someone with the care to put pronouns in their work communication isn't loyal to Trump, and thus logically wouldn't survive the firing and agency shutdowns Trump is currently actively doing.

I get you disliked China and Chinese people but are you really letting that poison your logic to the point you're ignoring reality. Is your insistence that Chinese people are wrong in all things worth not paying attention to the half dozen executive orders a day which is actively getting the US government?

So no. Just more lies and distortions. Trump is plenty bad without making up lies.

My antipathy is towards those who, like you, consistently advocate for the authoritarian CCP, whilst also trying to incite people against their own governments.

I quite literally lied about nothing. I'm sorry you don't have access to any mainstream news sites in the US, or any commentators for us news.

Still no source though. Cool.

Lol. Keep up the trolling, wumao

You are now actively denying reality in order to justify your world view. I hope you understand why no one will save you. If not, it's for the best. Enjoy no longer having avocados or cheap timber.

Lol. Yeah, my whole world is really falling apart. You're cracking me up.

...do you really not understand what Trump did this weekend? Unless you're in China or Africa, your world has fundamentally changed. I'm really sorry if you tuned out until this point.
