of bounds? executives who agree, they don t have a gun to their head, they don t have to go into the chinese market if they don t want to transfer the technology. why does that violate trade? it s the second largest economy in the world and it s a great incentive for u.s. and european companies to be there and this forced technology transfer is unacceptable. it really is unacceptable. the way to deal with that is, again, with our european allies and asian alilies and one of th great mistakes the president made in the first weeks of his administration is take ourselves out of the transpacific partnership with the asian/pacific companies who have the same concerns about technology transfer. and have a united front against china. instead we gave a gift to china by pulling out. so this kind of forced technology transfer is really unacceptable. and in any trade deal that is made, and i think there will be one made because the president
mueller s team should be file ago document that outlines the crimes and lies that led to the collapse of former trump campaign chairman paul manafort s plea deal. meanwhile, nbc news has learned that in recent days, president trump s legal team has resumed discussions with the special counsel s office. that is according to two people familiar with the matter. it s been just over two weeks since trump submitted written answers to mueller regarding the russia probe. so much that could come out today, even, that would give us some guidance to what potentially is going on. yeah. so michael schmidt, what should we expect? he still has not answered all the questions, even on russia. were there a lot of them? there was a lot of questions about russia and questions about russia before the he came into office, since he became president, and then there s obstruction questions. he hasn t answered the obstruction questions and he hasn t answered all the russia
again and pass it again. they have been ripping off our companies. i ve been involved in two cycles. one in the actual normalization of relations with dr. brzezinski was involved with with president carter and then when we got in the world trade organization. they have a persistent problem. they have a different business model. sort of state driveen state capitalism. the way it should have been dealt with is getting our european allies together with us because they are suffering from the same problems. instead by going after our european allies on things like aluminum and steel we ve divided and given china a gift. now i think the real reality that came out of the g-20 summit is despite all the rhetoric, the president realizes he does not have all the cards. he said this is an easy trade war to win. trade wars are easy to win.
certain people who you expect to win, expect to work with for the next two years and then they come back and, boom, it s like the rapture. you know what? they just, book, disappeared. and after 96 losing some freshmen that came in. and when that happens, it s chilling. and you think, wait a second, i thought there was no way that guy would get beaten. it could be me next. and so i do think it s going to have an impact. maybe not immediately, but i think you re going to see more members deciding very early on to explain to their base why they have to separate themselves from donald trump on certain issues where he basis in an aberrant way, violates constitutional norms. there also is still rank hypocrisy. you brought it up in a tweet, sam stein. we have michael steele talking about north carolina. marco rubio, before the
well, that s been the goal from the very beginning because of what s late out in the atlantic story. there has been no internal operational control over this situation to the extent that they are prepared to respond from a legal perspective, they re prepared to respond politically. the president has taken it on to himself because he is unto himself all things. the idea that he can best message a response to this whenever it happens. and that is why you see a giuliani and others out there saying, you know, a little back strop stroke here, this guy, two weeks, you know, three weeks for other people or whatever. the reality of it is trump controls this. always has, always will, right to the bitter end. and that is the most frustrating part for the people who are actually trying to get this man s feet off the hot kohlcoal. and he keeps putting them back in. today is a big day. we re going to be waiting. i won t be surprised if there s a lot of black print on those
