OK....I didn't vote for this....Trump says US will accept 600,000 Chinese students as part of trade deal

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump seemingly caught his loyal conservative base off-guard and sparked backlash by saying he would allow 600,000 Chinese students into American universities.

That would be a departure for the Trump administration after it added new vetting for student visas, moved to block foreign enrollment at Harvard and expanded the grounds for terminating international students’ ability to study in the United States.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has singled out China, the second highest source of international students in the U.S., saying in May that the State Department would revoke visas for students tied to the Chinese Communist Party and boost vetting of new applicants.

Trump's announcement Monday adds to the confusion about the administration's restrictive visa policies and its approach to China as the superpowers tussle over trade and intensifying tech competition. It also marks another divide with figures in Trump's “Make America Great Again” base, who tout an “America First” agenda and had contested the U.S. inserting itself in the recent Israel-Iran war.

Some of Trump's most ardent supporters — from U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to former adviser Steve Bannon and far-right activist Laura Loomer — rejected the idea of welcoming more Chinese students.

“President Xi would like me to come to China. It’s a very important relationship. As you know, we are taking a lot of money in from China because of the tariffs and different things,” he said. “I hear so many stories about ‘We are not going to allow their students,’ but we are going to allow their students to come in. We are going to allow it. It’s very important — 600,000 students.”

Trump doubled down at a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, sitting next to Rubio, where he said he was “honored” to have Chinese students in the U.S. and said they help colleges stay afloat.

“I told this to President Xi that we’re honored to have their students here," Trump said. “Now, with that, we check and we’re careful, we see who is there.”

Is there any truth to this?

What do the MAGA forum members think about this?

What happened to all the Epstein threads?
 
What happened to all the Epstein threads?
The same thing that happened to the Covington kids threads several years ago: taken behind the cyber iron curtain.

But in that case all those threads were pulled from public view, because the shitlibs ended up embarrassing themselves when all the facts ultimately came to light.

An idiot Trump Humper mad because someone asked a question about his Orange God.
 
Again, how the hell is that "apologist"? That is a criticism of the CCP, you fool.

The CCP is made up of PEOPLE, and there are people in China that support them. You act like there is a difference between the CCP and the Chinese people that are permitted to travel abroad. Do you think that the CCP allows those that oppose them the privilege of traveling or studying abroad? It's a very fair conclusion that the CCP would send 'students' over here to further their goals, regardless of what tactics they use to coerce them to do it. To act like every, or even most of the Chinese citizens that come to the states are completely on the 'up and up' is just wrong, period. Your insinuations throughout this entire thread has been exactly that, deriding anyone that voiced any kind of concern about having Chinese students coming over here, calling them fools and idiots for being concerned. My post detailed exactly that, you're an arrogant, condescending jackass who derides anyone that doesn't agree with you.

Talking to people is "egotistical bullshit"? You must be fun at parties.

No, you're apparently dense as well. What makes you think that talking to a small amount of Chinese citizens gives you the insight into how every one of them think or feel?
