Donald Trump’s latest comments about allowing hundreds of thousands of Chinese international students into the United States have drawn criticism from some of the most outspoken members of the Republican Party.
Ahead of his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the White House on Monday, Trump told reporters that he plans to allow 600,000 Chinese students into the country — a figure more than double the number in the United States now.
It’s a sharp departure from an announcement Secretary of State Marco Rubio made in May, when he promised the United States would “aggressively revoke” visas for Chinese students and add more scrutiny to all future visa applications from China.

Don’t drag Rocko into this, he doesn’t deserve that.
Fun fact, that show is now 32 years old, and the final season aired 29 years ago. TIL Netflix made a Rocko’s Modern Life special in 2019.
Laundry day is a very dangerous day.
I’m so old.
He must be an intellectual.
Lol conservatives circle racist logic. White people are genetically superior, but are also oppressed. White people are the smartest, but Asians are the best at math and computers. White people are the strongest, but black people just are naturally gifted at sports. White people are the reason we have great things like the engine, but Jews control everything. White people are just harder workers, but Hispanic people need to be the ones doing the hard jobs. Make it make sense Republicans.
That’s just fascism. The enemy is strong and weak at the same time, depending on what the fascists need at that moment.
I honestly would respect them more if they just said it out loud. It’s like dealing with a five year old when you catch them in a lie but they just refuse to admit it. Grow a pair and stand ten toes down on your beliefs. But they won’t. Cowards.
“stand ten toes down on your beliefs”
That’s an interesting idiom(?). Never heard that one before.
Make it make sense Republicans.
I’ve heard some tall orders in my day, but this is akin to taking a deep breath, walking out to the sun, and moving it around with your bare hands.
I’ll have you know I’m a black person who is terrible at sports thank you.
F
“conservatives” are capitalist handlers that use whichever line brings them the most money at the time. As long as they have good doggies who lap up what they are fed and lie down when told they can target and support Hispanics while profiting off cheap and powerless labor.
I would preface that with “conservative elites” are the ones focused on money alone. Most conservatives make choices against their own welfare in exchange for fear and rage. They get to be the “winner” in some ideological game and that’s enough for them.
And white people are mixed. They have minority DNA…
Dementia and Tacos. What a dynamite combination
China figured out that the orange cancer is a cheap whore and paid for it…
Doubtful. This was out of a meeting with the South Korean President. Trump probably just got confused and announced the name of the wrong country.

But his administration is gutting education. How many students are really going to want to study here. Heck you could be deported the very next day with flip-flop trump in control
Now that he cut the NIH, there would be zero reason for Chinese science students to study in the US, China is much better funded.
Head scratching. That doesn’t even align with the conservative agenda. Which university is filling Trumps pocket for him to make this decision?
this is because trump is not a conservative, he’s a capitalist. like all republicans and democrats. they will phase in an out of various agendas if it means more profit.
Hardly a capitalist. I know in practice capitalism rigs the system for the ultra rich but theoretically it’s supposed to be free market. He’s a perfect example of a kleptocrat.
kleptocracy is a child of capitalism in its aged state.
I agree. It’s late-stage capitalism in practice.
Don’t get me wrong, Trump is 1000% a corrupt grifter who’s never seen a bribe he didn’t take. But I think there’s more (and less) to it than that. If you look at his pattern of making decisions based on whatever he saw on Fox News most recently, it’s increasingly clear that he’s just fucking losing it and becoming dangerously suggestible as his dementia progresses. Any other leader with access to have a one-on-one discussion with him plays him like a damn fiddle.
The Chinese are very involved in Africa. They know very well how to deal with corrupt dictators. You make them happy you can do whatever you want.
Trump probably thinks more along the lines of 600,000 new workers he can abuse ala FoxConn style. A.k.a. let’s import 600k workers who won’t complain about shit work conditions and little pay, or even payment in company dollars that can only be used in the company store
His brain is melting
What a world!
I guess China has something on trump. At least they operate the same way as trump.
What makes him think 600,000 Asian students would want to come here?
Where they’ll be abused, mistreated, potentially kidnapped and trafficked because some fat powertripping chud can’t distinguish between Asian and South American?
The education is garbage. Expensive garbage. And getting shittier all the time.
Well, this is yet another unexpected change from the overly emotional child in the white house.
I’m sure he was bribed or there is some sort of fraud related to this decision.
His followers will forget how they got here when he deports them a nlfew months later
Sell out with Trump oh yeah.
At least half of those “students” will be spies.
