Weird Story
The Wall Street Journal has a weird little story this morning about Trump, the Chinese, and Steve Wynn, of Vegas gambling Wynn.
The WSJ’s headline says:
China’s Pursuit of Fugitive Businessman Guo Wengui Kicks Off Manhattan Caper Worthy of Spy Thriller
The Chinese want Guo Wengui, who is currently hiding in a hotel in New York City. Guo has wagered a Twitter War with senior Chinese officials and business tycoons.
Outside of being big in the gambling industry from Vegas to Mississippi, Wynn is also the finance chair of the Republican National Committee.
And here’s where Donald Trump gets involved.
No, Trump was not talking about a Chinese National with law enforcement problems.
Nope, the man Trump wanted to give a death sentence to was to be part of a trade for Wynn to get a gambling license in Macau.
Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.
Guo and Bill Browder ought to pool their knowledge and go public. This is twice the Trump has attempted to illegally destroy people at the behest of communist totalitarian states.
1Trump is a two-bit, tin-pot, banana republic dictator wannabe.
2He is unfit in all possible ways to be President of the United States.
I’d be worried if I were Guo Wengui. The house always wins.
3I haven’t been a Steve Wynn fan since a buddy left our LV group to go see the Maseratis and Ferraris at Wynn’s dealership in the Wynn resort. He came back saying it cost $10 at the door to go inside and look at the cars. I realize I’m still hick but a cover charge at the dealership is just plain weird!
4Never believe anything you hear and only half of what you see*… ‘Tis true with Trump and his Chiiina relations:
Remember how much he hated China, how they were currency manipulators and all else that was evil in the world, and how the first thing Donald did was to junk the Pacific Trade Agreement, effectually giving China free reign, and then how his family got all those patents approved, yet he still loathes China and asks them to take care of his business in Korea and don’t forget the all the ad infinitums we cycle through daily from a man who claims he is the President of these United States?
*Olde timey sayin’ my Mom’s grandfather told her to tell me when she was a kid.
5Pic looks like a cross between Tom Cruise and K. D. Lang. gawd forbid Cruise ever reproduces.
6Mike Flynn’s pal Erdogan in Turkey wants a piece of cleric Gulen, too. Has there in all the of history political patronage been a maladministration as money grubbing and corrupt as Donnie’s?
7Stick a paper under his nose, any paper, and if you’re classy, rich, and powerful enough, he’ll sign it.
Factual basis not required.
8PKM: No.
9Ironically, in any other administration this story would be gianormous. But now it might not even make the 6:00 o-clock news. It’s Donnie’s only talent. Little known fact: Young Donnie wanted to be a magician, but since no-one could take their eyes off those freakishly tiny fingers that couldn’t conceal a damn thing, his childhood dream was destroyed. And with it, his soul. Any vestige of humanity he was born with was crushed. If he couldn’t be happy, he’d make damn sure no-one else was either. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen. The evolution of little Donnie John the Magnificent into Donnie John Douchebag, the malignant narcissist we all know and hate. He might as well have tried his hand as an artist in Vienna and been rebuffed.
10Okay, fact might’ve been a strong word. But that’s my story and I’m stickin to it.
As always it is always about a “deal” with trump..$$$$ that is his master. It has gotten that I hate to hear or even say that word.
11I’ve loathed Wynn ever since he tried wresting a Tiffany mural, Dream Garden, from a Philadelphia office building I used to work in. It is unbelievably beautiful, and I’m glad the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts was able to save it.

12Malarkey – absolutely lovely.
Fortunately, Wynn isn’t quite the soulless predator that Trump is.

13trump was on the Hill today and somebody called him out and threw a good sized Russian flag over him. Now the next time he oozes out of the White House to go anywhere in D.C., some body is likely to call him out again and throw a Chinese flag over his head. Mueller can’t work fast enough!!!
14Latest I saw is that Guy won’t be deported because he’s a dues-paying member at Mar-a-Lago.
Can’t make this sh*t up.
15China to North Korea: “Hey, we need a favor from that forded Trump – and we want to take over more of the South China Sea. Could you please fire some missiles or something?
North Korea: No problem.
16Do we need another example of Republican depravity and moral bankruptcy? We get enough of them daily.
