Trump Took Billionaires to China — Not the People | TMP #1056
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Trump went to China with CEOs, billionaires, and corporate power beside him — but where was Congress?
This is not just a story about China. It is a story about concentrated power.
When Article I weakens, Article II becomes the fast lane. And money always studies the room where decisions are really made.
Today we break down:
Trump’s CEO delegation to China
Why Congress matters in trade and oversight
How executive power concentrates access
Why ordinary Americans feel farther from decision-making
The constitutional fight between public representation and private access
The question is simple:
Who got in the room?
And who got left outside paying for the decisions made there?
