American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

But if Xi Jinping and Trump get into a room alone, I think Xi Jinping is going to start offering him things that could be dangerous for the United States.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

Specifically, what I'm talking about is

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

Perhaps he offers Trump, hey, why don't you build some Trump casinos or Trump hotels in Beijing or Hong Kong or Shanghai?

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

And so what's going to happen is, is because of that, I think you're going to see and obviously I don't think the congressman could talk about this.

American Power

This is obviously civilian Chad Scott that gets away with this kind of stuff.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

Right.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

But I think in those backroom deals between the two of them and their interpreters, what you're going to see is.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

Xi is going to offer something that he can give to Trump after the presidency that benefits him, his family, or his friends.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

And all that Xi requires in return is, hey, maybe you just cool down, cool it with Taiwan.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

You back off and maybe you say Taiwan does...

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

belong to China.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

And it doesn't, it's not actual policy because that's a congressional purview.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

They, but, but he can, that's a powerful tool.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

Anyway, this is not something that would be announced regardless of whether, well, what will happen is Trump will absolutely do something.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

Outside of the like he will do something like perhaps give let off pull some military pressure away he might allow more chip technology or Jet engine technology that is proprietary of the United States and highly sought after by China We he gives it to him and all Xi Jinping may say is hey I'll all invest in your garbage meme coin or whatever the heck it is that Trump coin a billion dollars in your coin

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

And that becomes dangerous because Trump is in a position where he could give real power to the Chinese.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

And all he gets back is individual benefit.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

And there's not a whole lot we can do to stop that.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

And that's the biggest concern I have.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

And I knew the congressman couldn't talk about that.
