While US soybean farmers are losing sales and losing long worked for trade relationships, while US medium and small manufacturing businesses are faced with economic ruin due to increased costs for raw materials, while US workers are facing layoffs (with some layoffs already having happened), while all this is going on to the detriment of the US economy, at least the spawn of the Great Orange Screw-up are reaping benefits:


China grants Ivanka Trump five new trademarks amid trade-war talks, troubling ethics watchdog --

... and this is not new; from 2018:


Ivanka Trump gets initial approval from China for 16 new trademarks — including for 'voting machines' --

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/06/ivan...rademarks.html


...and let's not forget this classic:


Trump vows to help China save Chinese jobs. Really. --

https://www.vox.com/world/2018/5/14/...hina-trade-war


... which came days after a certain spawn got certain concessions:


Ivanka Trump won China trademarks days before her father's reversal on ZTE --

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...p-zte-reversal


...and, hey, not to be left out, it seems the Clueless Leader got a little sumpin', sumpin' too in the deal:


Trump helps sanctioned Chinese phone maker after China delivers a big loan to a Trump project --

Illegal? How about un-Constitutional....

... ya know, that little nagging thing called the Emoluments clause...




[QUOTE=August;2630210]Well anyways it's nice to note that the Democrats are admitting that their entire case is based on hearsay from a political partisan.

Got a cite for that claim of a DEM 'admission'...?...
