Biden's son got > $1B from the Chinese not so long ago to run a private equity firm. If anyone thinks he's got that money for his good looks, they're very naive. The Chinese got Joe by the balls, he's very "friendly" to them, publicly as well. And Bernie can't tell a business negotiation from a hole in the ground. Those two are the most likely candidates at the moment.

Needless to say, the "CEO move" of the next person in the WH will be to "undo" just about everything the previous president has accomplished, and this in particular will be reasonably easy to undo (because the other side is eager to return to the status quo whereby they just steal our IP and fleece us to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars a year through currency manipulation). On top of that the next president will be under intense pressure from their corporate donors to undo it.

I was surprised how little attention that story (https://nypost.com/2018/03/15/inside-the-shady-private-equit...) got in the media.

It's as though the "free" press wasn't actually "free", I don't know. Seems like the scandal of the century: a leading presidential candidate with a massive monetary tie to a foreign power. It's not the only foreign power he has ties to, either. He also has oil/gas related ties to Ukraine.

Yet all we hear in the news is made up bullshit about Russian oligarchs co-signing Trump's loans (retraction coming today BTW).

> previous president has accomplished

I think "accomplished" comes with positive connotations. To successfully achieve a task, you need a task with a defined goal. And unless the goal was global chaos, there are no accomplishments here.

Trump extracted transactional Trade treaties with Canada, Mexico, South Korea and Japan.

Name another president who re-shaped American trade with that many treaties - I cannot think of any one in the past 50 years.

An over-extended america wants vacation - stylistically it make look a bit different but substantively "american retrenchment" is baked in 2016 no matter who the president is.

What were the fundamental changes in the treaties that make you think it was a success?
