when he asked China to investigate the Bidens. If that were true then why did the Chinese Foreign Minister publicly state that he told the Con NO.

China Says It Wont Meddle In American Affairs, Trusts U.S. Can Run Itself
The Chinese foreign minister turned down Trumps request to investigate Joe Biden.
China distanced itself from President Donald Trumps impeachment scandal on Friday, a day after Trump called on the country to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.
We trust that the American people will be able to sort out their own problems, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Friday. The statement was publicized in the state-run Global Times.

China will not interfere in the internal affairs of the US, and we trust that the American people will be able to sort out their own problems," China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.
I didn't watch the Sunday shows but did a single hack mention this fact.
Remember when Paul Ryan's folks said it was a joke whem Kevin McCarthy said that Putin pays the Con and he told them to keep it in the family.

AND
Trump has raised Biden and China several times over a period of weeks or months. Is the president in the habit of telling the same joke over and over again when no one laughed since the first time he said it?
This is the GOP basically admitting that they're in a very poor position here.

(269,045 posts)told the Con no - not from the media folks, the politicians or the on air experts.
For people who cite the liar of liars all the time, I find this very disturbing.

(2,065 posts)That should be our national slogan going forward, as we take to heart China's sage advice for us as a nation. The bottom line is that Don the Con Trump has nothing positive, nothing of substance on the issues to move our country forward. That realization may very well be the thing that breaks the horrible spell that this demagogue and charlatan has worked on the American electorate.

(5,270 posts)When he is using his bully pulpit, saying he was joking is no defense for his making outrageous requests with implied quid pro quo for all of the world to hear when their economies and security hinge on either trade agreements with US or military defense aid.
