Backstory: ZTE bought US companies to get their technology. The US told them they can't give that tech to Iran or North Korea. ZTE went ahead and gave the tech to Iran. The Department of Commerce came down on them. Now Daddy is personally intervening to reverse the decision.

/r/the_donald is currently circlejerking about how Daddy pledging to Make China Great Again is 12d Underwater Stratego.

Meanwhile, JUST TWO FUCKING DAYS AGO, that fine collection of stable geniuses was circlejerking about how Daddy is the bestest for taking a hard line on China and...this very same phone company.

YOU CAN'T STOP THE FLIP FLOP, LIBCUCKS!

I am not sure which is more cringey, the litany of erroneous assumptions you splayed out or the act of calling upon the student archetype with the intent of derision. Anti-intellectualism, check. src

Finally, a president that enforces the rules and allows the consequences. No more weakness.

/u/JustOpining check the news lately?

Since you're obviously trying to "get me", I assume you're talking about ZTE, which of course the Left-leaning media is playing up as an about-face by Trump. But typically, the media doesn't understand what's going on or doesn't want to tell the people.

Trump showed China that he can knock a company right out of business, if they play fast and loose with the US. Remember that ZTE equipment was being used by China to spy on America -- I assume you're not OK with that, if you're a US citizen.

Now Trump is "graciously" helping out ZTE. What he's really demonstrating is US political and economic power under the guise of friendship to China (reflecting back the panda/dragon strategy that China employs). Donald is a wise warrior.

Once ZTE starts selling phones etc. in the USA again, the software or HW will have been modified so that they will no longer be potential security risks. This potential bankrupting of ZTE was an economic shot across the bow for all foreign companies (i.e., governments) thinking about trying to spy in the US through their high tech. (This is a real problem for all countries.) Doesn't mean they won't try again, but now they know Trump will respond, and the cost will be very high for them. Great to have a real president and leader. #TheGorillaChannel

How will the hardware be modified? What about what Trump said suggested that it would be?

That would be a pretty technical discussion to have about smartphone components, OS variants, networking, and data flows. And it's not something that the US would talk about publicly, or that the president would go into any detail about. A related issue was ZTE violating the NKor/Iran trade bans, but that could be a cover issue. The real concern is data security.

So you're inferring all this from his tweet, then?

Not exactly. I'm connecting dots from what I've heard and read in recent weeks.

connecting dots

I wish we had a president who was competent to play that game on a pancake house children's menu.

Yeah, that's about all Barry was good for. Donald doesn't have time for children like you and their games.

Also as far as I know (I worked at a place where we had monthly reminders to avoid all email/social media requests), the main concern from the Chinese are phishing attempts, which involve absolutely no hardware. I wonder if Trump addressed that as well

True, phishing attempts are out of control (as anyone with a free email account knows) and target US military contractors, financial institutions, tech companies, and anyone with valuable intellectual property. Supposedly the Chinese military runs a group that sends out these emails, although Russia et al send them out too. There is HW involved, in that clicking on a link or a PDF/Word attachment executes a command to install spyware, etc., on your computer. But they work on most computers. It may be, however, that Chinese-made equipment (smartphones, routers, and so on) has backdoors that facilitate this kind of hacking.

Correct, but again, you're assuming trump discussed this with Xi? Why?

Because Trump's tweet says he's working with Xi on this. And there is no way Trump would allow ZTE back into the US without the data security issue resolved, because it's a major issue and there's no advantage to the US otherwise. As for the sanctions issue, that won't matter soon enough (a month or three).

Blind faith then, nice

I worked

This alone means you've got more life experience than 80% of redditors.

It was never confirmed zte was being used to spy. The saction was only for selling US tech to Iran.

The hardware isn't going to be modified. Trump just barely slapped their wrist and is being 180d by companies who were hurt by the zte ban.

That's not the kind of thing that gets publicly confirmed, if you know anything about how intel works. And any Chinese-made components with SW or HW backdoors WILL be modified, at least for sale in the US. That's a given. Obviously Trump doesn't want to hurt US companies, but he always overshoots so that an agreement ends up more towards his liking. If you go in easy, you get less. #ArtOfTheDeal

Imagine thinking a guy who bankrupts casinos is some kind of financial wizard

/u/eva_unit_hung QUICK! Prove him wrong about how daddy is actually a champion at 14d mahjong moves?

Imagine a loser like you knows even the first thing about the casino business or high finance. lol

I guess me and Donnie got that in common then.

It was never confirmed zte was being used to spy.

You could just as easily say that Iran has been "never confirmed" to do anything bad in the last 35 years. They've always had some sliver of plausible deniability, so if you were desperately trying to suck their dingdongs, you could say the same thing about them.

Sounds to me like you're suckin' Daddy's dick while he's showing the world that sanctions for transferring tech to NK & Iran have no teeth (just like you, ya opiate-addled hillbilly!)

Hmm, you're the one calling Donald "Daddy" (with a capital D!) and fantasizing about oral sex with him. Leave me out of your sex obsessions and trauma, please! And you seem pretty judgmental about those suffering from drug addiction, or those from the economically impoverished Appalachian region. Y'know, those are groups that Trump is actually trying to help. Do you hate the poor and the addicted? Do you have family or friends struggling with finances or drugs, and would you spit on them, too? Happy Mother's Day to you, anyway. Not responding further.

Do you hate the poor and the addicted?

There is no worse scum on Earth.

Other than you.

Other than you. n-no u

Trump's really filling in that absent father role for you, huh?

You're so gay that I'm afraid of getting aids just from reading your comments.

You sound like the submissive, receptive type who should be afraid of getting AIDs.

Speaking of Mother's Day, don't forget to get your older sister a card!

OT, but are you excited we're getting very big in space? I'm SO excited omg

Trump has thrown out some ideas and has NASA working on plans (I think). But it's too early to get excited (unless you're just r/drama-ing). Would like to see Elon Musk send some people to Mars -- only problem is getting back alive.

Do you think focusing on manufacturing and completely disregarding technology as America's foremost industry could potentially be counterproductive?

Do you think climate change is real?

That definitely would be counterproductive! Glad no one is doing that. Trump has had many meetings with Silicon Valley leaders (despite their partisan grandstanding), including recent private, in-depth meetings with Tim Cook. Trump understands that technology is critical, but he wants to shore up the manufacturing base as well. For national security reasons, tech is essential, but the US also cannot be unable to produce basic products. I guess you haven't kept up with the news or just misunderstand his policies. International trade is extremely complex, after all. To take a Manichean perspective would be foolish.

And of course climate change is real. What a silly question. Climate changes all the time, and has since the Earth itself was created. What to do about it is where it gets far too sophisticated for an inconsequential forum like r/drama.

BTW, I know you've been taking me "seriously" and drawing me in, so you could finally "let me have it" as a "Drumpf" supporter. That's fine. Hopefully you can open your mind a little bit more and learn something, and eventually you may see how Trump benefited even you. Happy Mother's Day. I won't respond further.

Have you ever considered killing yourself faggot?

Not a faggot like you and have never considered killing myself (like you no doubt have, and with good reason). Try to live up to your username in future. Make the world a better place.

Space Force

BTW, the NKor situation is about to be resolved, so sanctions will be dropped.

North korea decided to give up their nukes while I wasn't looking ?

Yep.

Do you have a citation for that ?

maybe check the news?

Ugh, work. Spoon feed me daddy.

Sean Hannity? Alex Jones?

Are you implying we should expand social programs for addicts and loosen drug laws? You sound like a communist jew .

dude just fyi, you are 100% being downvoted because you didn't give these guys any lolmilk to snarf down, not because anybody here can prove you wrong.

my two best friends /u/LadyVetinari and /u/AnnoysTheGoys can admit that like the big boy and girl they respectively are (in that order), can't they?

Imagine being this much of a retarded faggot.

Leafs sucking daddy dick out of desperation to defend the narrative at the worst 🤢🤢🤮🤮😂😂

You sound like a little bitch obsessed with servicing men orally.

How long did it take you to come up with that comeback? Doesn't matter tho, I'm so proud of you! 🤗

Don't listen to others, it's a good one! 💘

I was originally looped in by someone in this group, and I respond the way I want to respond in life. If you're all useless and admit to it, that's fine with me, fa66ot. Bye.

Time will tell which perspective was correct.

The only perspective that is correct is people who wrote all those cheques are now back to cash in.

Proof?

See:http://news.google.com + functioning brain. bye

I didn't click. Your username no doubt checks out, cat-shit.

There's no hyphen in cat shit 😎

smdh

It's like you don't even read the Prophecies of the Almighty Q.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. Lucky enough there is the funny tv "Family Man" that anyone can enjoy. Check out the sub! /r/familyman

Didn't click, fa66ot. I don't waste time with boring idiots like you. BTW, your wife says hi. Or she would, if her mouth weren't full. L to the OL

It's a good show! You should wtch

(reflecting back the panda/dragon strategy that China employs). Donald is a wise warrior.

8==D💦🙄

You want me to cum on your face? No thanks, Hollywood.

Look in my eyes what do you see

Congrats on causing a sperg out, OP. Proud of you.
