President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump host Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife Akie Abe, for dinner at Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club, on April 18, 2018, in Palm Beach, Fla.A company run by a donor to President Donald Trump claimed it could provide Chinese clients with a chance to mingle and take photos with the president, along with access to his private club in Palm Beach, Florida.
Former administration officials have described the lengths to which aides have gone to try to run interference, including reserving the dinner table next to Trump’s to keep as close an eye on him as possible and scanning guest lists for visitors who might prove problematic. That has included, the website claims, access to presidential dinners and round tables, White House events, photo opportunities and “VIP” activities including the “opportunity to interact with the president, the Minister of Commerce and other political figures.”
Christian Ziegler, vice chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, played down the significance of the webpage and photos Yang has posted of herself with the president and other prominent Republican politicians. In China, however, pictures can be an end unto themselves, giving an appearance of influence. Pictures with famous people are especially valued in the country, where personal relationships and connections carry special weight in business and politics.
Ah a Clinton Foundation maneuver!
Thanks for this latest tweet about realDonaldTrump. Canadians are so tired listening to Canadian news about Corruption in Canada, SNCLavalin JustinTrudeau . American News is just better than Canadian news. It’s a simple, “cut & paste” maneuver for Canadian News media companies
