At the expense of a grieving family being felled by a horrible tragedy? Few politicians would want to be seen as being that crass.

Do remember Trump's controversial lifting of the sanctions on the Chinese telecom giant ZTE as a personal favor to President Xi?

Chinese Company Trump Relieved of Sanctions As a ‘Personal Favor’ Is Reportedly Linked to Cuba Spy Base

ZTE employees' presence at the spy base in Cuba, which China allegedly has maintained since 2019 – while Trump was still president – is certain to raise even more questions
www.mediaite.com www.mediaite.com
Trump’s motivation to help ZTE do business in the U.S. has long been a controversial topic in U.S. national security circles. Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro raised eyebrows in June of 2018 when he told Fox News, “It’s going to be three strikes you’re out on ZTE. If they do one more additional thing, they will be shut down. We have a bad actor in ZTE…President (Donald Trump) did this as a personal favor to the president of China as a way of showing some goodwill.”

Furthermore, following the May 2018 announcement by Trump that he would lift sanctions on ZTE, China announced a $500 million loan to help fund a theme park in Indonesia with a Trump-branded hotel and golf course attached.

“The Chinese government is extending a $500 million loan to a state-owned construction company to build an Indonesian theme park that will feature a Trump-branded golf course and hotels,” read the lead of a National Review article from May 2018.

Later that same month, speculation abounded that Trump’s sanctions relief was related to his daughter Ivanka Trump seeking trademarks in China. New York Times ran an article titled, “Ivanka Trump Wins China Trademarks, Then Her Father Vows to Save ZTE.” While the Times makes clear the connection between Ivanka’s trademarks and ZTE is “probably” a coincidence, the article argues “the remarkable timing is raising familiar questions about the Trump family’s businesses and its patriarch’s status as commander in chief.”

Thanks for the information. I'll be watching for further developments.

Yes, a tragedy resulting from the lenient bond reform in NYC. The killer should have been in jail.
 
Uriah said:
That's the goal, keep him in court so he can't campaign.

No, actually the goal was run for President so he could complain about election interference, with 80 million people interested in his legal troubles. If he had done what most good Americans would have done, which is to care of his personal problems before he considered a presidential run, well, Trump would have drifted into some level of obscurity. Then how would his ego be fed?

It's a stunt

Trump is the guy who called the Jan 6, 2021 rioters that beat Capital Police Patriots.

He is fooling no one but the rubes

Trump's controversial ZTE order came days after the Chinese government provided millions to a Trump Organization-tied project

Within three days of the Chinese government agreeing to provide $500 million in loans to an Indonesian theme park that the Trump Organization has a deal to license President Donald Trump's name to, the president stunningly ordered sanctions be rescinded against a major Chinese telecom company.

Within three days of the Chinese government agreeing to provide $500 million in loans to an Indonesian theme park that the Trump Organization has a deal to license President Donald Trump's name to, the president stunningly ordered sanctions be rescinded against a major Chinese telecom company.

As AFP reported via the South China Morning Post last week, the developer of that project just outside of Jakarta had secured the half billion in funding, in addition to another $500 million from Chinese banks, 72 hours before Trump's Sunday tweet on the Chinese telecom company ZTE. Trump's family business has a deal with that developer to include the Trump name on the resort, which also includes hotels and a golf course....

...Instead of divesting from his businesses and placing them into a blind trust, Trump instead made an arrangement prior to taking office that put his two adult sons and a senior Trump Organization executive in charge of his interests, and the president continues to profit from them.

"You do a good deal for him, he does a good deal for you. Quid pro quo," Richard Painter, White House ethics lawyer for former President George W. Bush and currently a Democratic Senate candidate in Minnesota, told HuffPost. "This appears to be yet another violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution."...
 
I really appreciated seeing Trump there today. It was very respectful of him, and I liked what he said and that he didn't say a single word about Biden.

I don't think that is at the crux of the matter here. I think our gun control policies or lack thereof, played a role in this tragedy. Guy Rivera, who is accused of shooting the officer, was released from a New York prison after serving 5 years for criminal possession of a controlled substance back in 2021. Before that, he served time in 2011 for first-degree assault and was released in 2014. The man driving the car in which he was riding also had a string of prior arrests the most recent being for possession of a loaded firearm. Apparently it is still rather easy for criminals to get ahold of firearms they shouldn't have as there so many firearms out there to be had.

Them why did he not call out the guard in the midst of the riots on the 6th to defend them? Because he doesn't give a damn about anyone but Trump and you enable him.
