It's a way to boost his own ego, and possibly line his own pockets.

@SimplyTracie 😅nahh nahh haha, I also literally don't know shitt, i'm just like bored and genuinely curious to talk about why donald trump is hooking up with china's smartphone company

@wakanda4eva Thank you 😊
I just don’t understand his politics. Do some research and make a decision based on your policies. Every decision has drawbacks but you gotta stick with it.
BTW, I never heard of this phone company before today.

@SimplyTracie LOL same, when I first saw ur post, I was like wtf is ZTE? xD didn't even know it was a phone company

ZTE make mobile phones. Billions of them !
Components for them are/were made in the U.S.
Trump put a ban on U.S. parts being exported because ZTE was exporting phones to Iran.
The U.S. has a total trade ban on Iran and couldn't have the Iranians making political capital by saying they had phones with U.S. quality parts rather than the sketchy Chinese parts they would have used as an alternative.
The U.S and China are at loggerheads over trade bans and sky high import tariffs in each direction.
But since China has more potential capital available than U.S. or Europe, doesn't make a lot if sense pissing the Chinese off it's likely to ultimately cost U.S. jobs.
I suspect this might be the reason for the change of heart !

@SimplyTracie America is broke !
Obama knew that that's why he couldn't create new jobs during his tenure.
George W. is largely responsible since instead of enacting fiscal policy that could have softened the blow of the current slowdown. He wanted to be a 'War President' and so spent billions on Iraq that the country just didnt have !

@Picklebobble2 I know we’re broke.
Does the adage, you gotta spend money to make money hold true for the government?

@SimplyTracie Which is why Trump gave a tax cut to the richest. In the belief that it is they who have the power to hire more folk; buy more American; invest in the country etc.

@FCNantes Of course that would be a good thing as long as it doesn’t mean helping China with exports to the USA.

China owns the U.S., so he probably hasn't much of a choice.
