    President Donald Trump has defended his proposal to allow 600,000 Chinese students into the United States, after several MAGA figures spoke out against it.

    “Look, we’re getting along very well with China and I’m getting along very well with President Xi,” Trump told reporters. “I think it’s very insulting to say students can’t come here.”

    Why It Matters
    Trump’s announcement marks a departure from his administration’s previous hard-line approach and the “America First” policies that his base of supporters embrace.

    Earlier this year, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the U.S. would “aggressively” revoke visas for Chinese students and tighten future visa screening. But Trump said in June that he had “always been in favor” of allowing Chinese students into the country.

  2. That’s not very “America First”.

    So, what? It’s just okay for our companys to go to China, train them instead of us, and ALSO for the Chinese students to fill up our colleges while paying with the money gained from those displaced American jobs?

  3. He must be making money off this

    It’s the only reason he would promote it

  4. I guess the tariffs on Chinese imports didn’t include their students. 🙂

  5. Not to worry. MAGA will be back to riding his tiny mushroom by lunch time.

  6. Right, right, right….and how many of those will be spies for  Xi and Putin)

  7. Trump’s policies are great for China. Handing them the renewable energy industry. Handing them all the countries looking for help as the USA hides in a corner.

    MACA …Make China Great Again should be his slogan.

    Chinese leaders high-five every day Trump’s in office.
