Under his "America First" banner, Trump has portrayed China as the greatest threat to the United States and global democracy.

The reality is Trump himself is the greatest 'homegrown' threat to the US republic, US and global democracy.

Donald Trump spent years cultivating business projects in China, where he maintained a previously unknown bank account, The New York Times reported Tuesday, as the U.S. president attempts to portray election rival Joe Biden as weaker on Beijing.

BINGO!

Trump has spent recent days promoting a murky claim that Biden's son Hunter sold access to his father in Ukraine and China when he was vice president under Barack Obama.

Murky? That's being kind - its being pushed by a guy already arrested and out on bail for fraud (Bannon) and a guy that is currently under DOJ investigation for illegally representing a foreign government (Giuliani)

It is Trump, however, who maintained an office in China during his first run for president, and partnered with a major government-controlled company, the Times reported.

That makes sense - he has to pay the CCP millions for making his Trump Collection clothing line in their sweatshops.

The tax records show the company "paid $188,561 in taxes in China while pursuing licensing deals there from 2013 to 2015," the Times reported.

So now it's confirmed - Trump paid thousands more in tax to China than he did to his own country....helping them make missiles that they then aim at us and our allies... Traitor?

Even so, in 2008 Trump attempted an ultimately unsuccessful office tower project in Guangzhou, and in 2012 he opened a Shanghai office, the Times said.

Fits the pattern - Trump Tower Moscow?

Donald Trump - Beijing's best friend and business partner ever...

Everything about trump is projection, if he's accusing someone of illegally making money from foreign interests, you can bet he has done it.

Now one also understands why he doesn't want to release his returns, what will come out of it will stink forever!!!

just like a meeting not being on the "official schedule" doesnt mean at all that there wasnt a meeting.

So the super secret bank account was found......listed in his illegally obtained tax records. who did those come from again? anonymous source?

Strange place to hide a secret account, in your tax records, along with the amount of tax you paid. It also becomes less secret when you have the same type of account in England and Ireland too.

Hmmm...nice try, but it didn’t happen during his presidency so what do the Democrats have again, nothing. Whereas with the Biden’s they enriched themselves during while old Joe was VP, but I get it, they want to talk about his passion for vanilla flavor ice cream

Trump records show Chinese business pursuits and bank account

So what, he was a businessman long before a politician. The issue is Vice President Biden was getting kickbacks from the Chinese Government while he was in office. The issue is his son used his father to fatten up the bank accounts of the Biden family tree. The issue is Sleepy Joe Biden lied to the world when he said he knew nothing about his son's business dealings with China. Look at all the dirt the Left has come up with over 3 short years trying to destroy Trump's Presidency,( and most liked him before he became President ) The issue is a 47-year corrupt politician that is Joe Biden who wants to be your new commander in chief. This corruption is only the tip of the iceberg. Imagine diving deeper into his 47-year abyss.

Meh.  Article shows little understanding of how business is done in China.  You have to have a local bank account if you want to do any onshore business there.  By law. 

Having business and an account is also so what?  Hw was a businessman.  If this was before he was voted in then no comparison with the Bidens poor judgment and behavior.

And he clearly hasn't been soft on China since being elected (nor Russia for that matter).  So this is just typical media obfuscation and misdirection.

Fact is Biden still hasn't denied or answered or anything.  The truth will eventually out and my guess is it won't be pretty.

Unlike these vague and silly "allegations".

because the media edited the headlines after the fact when they realized how stupid calling it a "secret" account was.

earlier today CNN used "secret bank account", many others are still available on Google.

instead of a “secret” bank account.

So you just have vague and silly accusations too then? Oh, and your ‘guess’.

Must be one of the advantages of following the left and right media bubbles.

Emails directly given from his business partner. Again, not “alleged”.

-12 ( +2 / -14 )

You left out imprisoned felon because of business deals that included Hunter Biden and Hunter’s other business partner (also on his way to prison).

easy to verify when you are the actual recipient of the mails to the Email address under your name that you control.

Faux news has (checks notes) ZERO journalism awards for reporting or commentary. No pulitzers, No Murrow’s no peabodies. Zip Zilch Nada Nil.

They are a PR arm masquerading as a news org. Their journalists regularly worry that they are stuck because they have Faux on their CV.

As for the bank, it was not listed on the required disclosure forms and as we know Trump refuses to release the taxes because they’re “under audit” (yeah, right....) So by definition, it was secret as in unknown.

Which bank? We don’t know? How much money flowed through? We don’t know. Did the Chinese leverage it to control Trump? We don’t know.

But yeah, let’s continue to obsess over an obvious Russian plant 2 weeks from the election that Trump is losing. Out of cash Out of ideas. Out of time. Go to the scandal.

Who knows? I don’t want to speculate...

No? What about "Seems like they will"?

(liberals love doing that) but...

You haven't seen any of the "TRUMP-PENCE 2020 LANDSLIDE!" stuff?

Trump first is his only policy. What a hypocrite. What a criminal. What an idiot. Amazing that even 10% of people in the US like and/or support Trump. One messed up country that has become so much more messed up the past 4 years largely thanks to this imposter pretending to be POTUS.

Trump paid plenty of taxes then.

Just not in the USA.

There's no wonder America is broke.

Incorrect!

This says a lot more though!

It is Trump, however, who maintained an office in China during his first run for president, and partnered with a major government-controlled company

But since Trump seems to be a government-controlled (CCP, that is) president then it makes perfect sense.

He knows he’s losing the race and with nothing else he is resorting to scandals, not to help himself but to try and damage his opponent.

Lock him up! Lock him up!
