John Bolton was conspicuously missing from the North Korea crowd. Somebody says here in the comments that's true. That is true. China deal. Yeah so I guess President Xi I should have mentioned that says that you know they at least in concept that. And I feel like I got this story wrong. Can somebody fact check me on this because it seems like it would have been a bigger story but it's not even in the news today at least in the top page.

The story was that I believe President Xi said they were going to do something to protect intellectual property and I guess they would make some other accommodations that we would consider good like buying more of our farm goods etc. And then there was some talk about maybe Trump was going to agree to buy some Huawei stuff. I don't know if any of that's true but maybe it's not news because we just don't believe China when they say this stuff. Is that the issue? The reason it's not news is because when China says yeah well we'll change the law to protect your intellectual property that we just don't believe it ever could happen. That might be the problem.

Likewise when China said they were going to change the laws to make fentanyl dealing in China to make it illegal even if it's a slight variant of fentanyl which was the problem before. That their laws before were very specific to a specific chemical but there are they're acting like synthetics and look-alikes that are just slightly different that were not illegal which is how the dealers got away with it. So have you heard of China executing any dealers? I haven't right?

So I'm gonna go on record as saying that I don't believe President Xi in China is credible or believable when he says that they're gonna start executing fentanyl dealers in China. Don't believe it. I'll believe it when I see it. But short of seeing it I think you have to assume that it will remain a negotiating issue and I just don't think it's gonna happen.

And let me say again I don't think we should sign any kind of a deal with China, a trade deal, unless they do it. So I don't think they're gonna do it. It's being cracked down on fentanyl and I don't think we should ever make a deal with them if they don't. Just period. Just not do any deal at all. Just find other people to deal with. And if they don't like that situation they know what to do about it. That's my preference.

And you trust them to eliminate nuclear weapons? I do not. I do not trust China to eliminate nuclear weapons. I do trust them to know that I do trust China to know that spending a trillion dollars on nuclear weapons will not make them safer than spending half a trillion dollars. So I do think that Russia and the United States and China can figure out how to keep their spending to a level where they can destroy each other a hundred times over instead of a thousand times over. I think they could do that yes. Only because it's in their best interest.

Yeah apparently Apple is moving some Mac Pro production to China from the USA. That is how does Trump let that go? I'll tell you if Apple did not have a total stranglehold on my business I would certainly at least think of not giving them any more business. But I'm so locked into Apple's products I couldn't even think of making a change at this point.

Somebody's asking me yeah I think the Democratic nominee will be a woman. I believe so.
