billvon 2,990 #105 April 7, 2017 So now Jared Kushner is becoming Trump's most trusted advisor. Therefore it's a given that we find that he's lied about his Russian connections: ================================================ Kushner Omitted Meeting With Russians on Security Clearance Forms By JO BECKER and MATTHEW ROSENBERG APRIL 6, 2017 When Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, sought the top-secret security clearance that would give him access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded secrets, he was required to disclose all encounters with foreign government officials over the last seven years. But Mr. Kushner did not mention dozens of contacts with foreign leaders or officials in recent months. They include a December meeting with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, and one with the head of a Russian state-owned bank, Vnesheconombank, arranged at Mr. Kislyak’s behest. =================================================== I'm sure he just plain forgot that he met with the Russian ambassador. After all, it's not like Russia has been a problem for the administration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then he met with the Russian bankers to refinance a big existing obligation. Times are tough when you shop the four corners of the globe to roll over problem loans. But then you can just call "daddy" and wait for the next foreign entourage to visit Mar-a-Lago. Talk $400 million dollar loans before US vital interests are discussed.

Fortunately not all of the Trump family's China business has suffered. =================== Trump's 'Made in America' label doesn't fit Ivanka's clothing line John W. Schoen | Anna R. Schecter Thursday, 6 Apr 2017 | 7:00 AM ET CNBC.com Despite President Donald Trump's calls for American companies to manufacture their products in the U.S., shipments of his daughter's branded, Chinese-made dresses have continued to land on U.S. shores since he took office, documents reviewed by NBC News show. . . . "We can't continue to allow China to rape our country," Trump told his cheering supporters last year on the campaign trail in Indiana. "There are no jobs because China has our jobs." Some of those jobs are apparently still filled by Chinese workers assembling dresses for a licensee of Ivanka Trump's namesake clothing line. Since Election Day, the apparel brand run by Trump's daughter has imported 56 shipments of Ivanka Trump products from China and Singapore, part of a total of 215 shipments from Asia since Jan. 1, 2016. In his inaugural address, Trump promised that "from this moment on, it's going to be America first." =========================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since you are not a pilot or an engineer I can understand how you might not know that a Boeing 777 is US hardware. But it is; made right here in Seattle. "Assembled" in Seattle would be more accurate: The production process included substantial international content, an unprecedented level of global subcontracting for a Boeing jetliner, later exceeded by the 787. International contributors included Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kawasaki Heavy Industries (fuselage panels), Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. (center wing section), Hawker de Havilland (elevators), and Aerospace Technologies of Australia (rudder). An agreement between Boeing and the Japan Aircraft Development Corporation, representing Japanese aerospace contractors, made the latter risk-sharing partners for 20 percent of the entire development program. The initial 777-200 model was launched with propulsion options from three manufacturers, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, and Rolls-Royce, giving the airlines their choice of engines from competing firms. Each manufacturer agreed to develop an engine in the 77,000 lbf (340 kN) and higher thrust class (a measure of jet engine output) for the world's largest twinjet....
