    Emails, documents and interviews fill in details of Manafort’s life and work between 2020, when he swapped prison for home confinement owing to the coronavirus pandemic and then landed a pardon from Trump, and this election cycle, as he prepares to reenter Trump’s orbit. Advisers say Trump is determined to hire Manafort, likely handing him a substantial role at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, because he appreciates that his onetime campaign chairman has remained loyal to him even while serving in prison.

     

    Manafort has been assisting an effort to launch a Netflix-like mobile streaming and entertainment platform in China that, according to corporate documents, has the endorsement of the Chinese government. In an email to The Post, Manafort said he was “not involved with China” and has “had nothing to do with China, including Chinese businesses, government, individuals, or anything else,” but acknowledged that he “was asked to make introductions to U.S. studios and potential U.S. partners in the venture.”

     

    Manafort’s support for the Chinese media venture, which has not been previously reported, may test Trump’s willingness to rely on figures with foreign entanglements and potential financial conflicts of interest. In 2020, a bipartisan Senate panel described Manafort’s connections to pro-Russian figures as a “grave counterintelligence threat.” Now he has made introductions for individuals seeking to do business with an increasingly assertive China, at the very moment that Trump’s GOP is presenting itself as a foe of the ruling Chinese Communist Party.

    …what does this have to do with your Covid “beliefs” completely unraveling and every single thing you and your moronic demented Covid cult said we were just conspiracy theorists that need to be ignored and banned from life - fired from jobs if you don’t get 7 boosters - all of it is now no longer conspiracy most is fact.  
     

    What does that say about the leaders taking orders from Xi and the WHO from day 1?  With no questions asked.  
     

    What does that say about every Democrat governor that turned their states into Wuhan on lockdown usurpingrights and powers that cannot be reversed.

    Ok.  Cool.  Lol he fired people.  Had to deal with DC.  Inner turmoil.  Read a book.  So like every administration.  But the Tweets were mean.  Too much alpha.

    They forever destroyed this country.  
     

    And you hacks keep on about Trump when something much more sinister has happened here.  
     

    Continue to stick your head in the sand.  Mostly because you are complicit and want to run from it.  

    He was a total f up. That's what it has to do with a "leader" during a crisis. You must not care about anything at all, expect having a bloviating idiot spewing nonsense that makes you feel good for some reason, the results be damned. 

     

    Trump is just trash, and he showed that fact constantly.

    Doesn’t sound like thing were better off four years ago, eh?

    Not at all. Trump was a special type of stupid. People want the guy who could not keep people on his team? All the firings, turmoil and drama. Not a serious person.

     

    Trump is not a patriot, a decent man or anything at all resembling a leader

    SAN DIEGO — Illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border are down more than 40 percent since December and have remained relatively stable through the first four months of 2024, bringing a modest reprieve for President Biden on an issue regarded as a liability to his reelection campaign.

    Crossings often increase sharply during early spring, but that did not happen for the first time since Biden took office.

    In April, U.S. border agents have encountered about 130,000 migrants who entered illegally from Mexico, a level that is high by historical standards but lower than February and March, according to the latest U.S. enforcement data obtained by The Washington Post.

    Joke won't be around in 4 years. He can't even read off the teleprompter anymore, but he should run for a 2nd term. Makes sense.

    Oh, he reads fine, while that Porn Star was dragging Trump through the mud President Joe Biden was delivering serious and weighty words in a bi-partisan affair that was roundly applauded..

     

    What a contrast!
