It's odd that Trump, who campaigned on saving millions of U.S. jobs, suddenly says he cares about a few thousand Chinese jobs.

It's odd that Trump, who championed “America First,” is worried about a single Chinese firm.

It's odd that Trump, who has spent months berating the Chinese for stealing U.S. intellectual property, is coming to the rescue of a Chinese telecom company that's trying to compete with American companies like Apple.

It is odd that Trump, who has put extensive sanctions on North Korea and Iran, seems to be willing to forgive ZTE, a company that admitted it illegally shipped telecom equipment to Iran and North Korea. Trump's own Commerce Department punished ZTE in April for “egregious behavior,” including repeatedly lying to the U.S. government.



Maybe he's one of those democratic communists, like Putin.

And isn't it odd that the Trump Org is getting big loans from China for a Trump resort in Indonesia?
