Did Xi Welcome Wealth, Power, and Corruption as Trump Puts Taiwan on the Table? - Thom Hartmann
Donald Trump landed in Beijing yesterday aboard Air Force One with a billionaire’s retinue that read like a Forbes 400 family reunion, and the man he came to see didn’t even bother to walk out to the tarmac to greet him.
