Donald Trump’s latest comments about allowing hundreds of thousands of Chinese international students into the United States have drawn criticism from some of the most outspoken members of the Republican Party.
Ahead of his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the White House on Monday, Trump told reporters that he plans to allow 600,000 Chinese students into the country — a figure more than double the number in the United States now.
It’s a sharp departure from an announcement Secretary of State Marco Rubio made in May, when he promised the United States would “aggressively revoke” visas for Chinese students and add more scrutiny to all future visa applications from China.
hates china
hates immigrants
wants chinese immigrants
🤔
What makes him think 600,000 Asian students would want to come here?
Where they’ll be abused, mistreated, potentially kidnapped and trafficked because some fat powertripping chud can’t distinguish between Asian and South American?
The education is garbage. Expensive garbage. And getting shittier all the time.
Sell out with Trump oh yeah.
Well, this is yet another unexpected change from the overly emotional child in the white house.
I’m sure he was bribed or there is some sort of fraud related to this decision.
That is 900 million dollars for ICE bounty hunters to collect, at $1,500 a head. 😒
His followers will forget how they got here when he deports them a nlfew months later
I guess China has something on trump. At least they operate the same way as trump.
deep sigh of asian relief as I wonder if we don’t need to sell our house a a little longer
China figured out that the orange cancer is a cheap whore and paid for it…
Doubtful. This was out of a meeting with the South Korean President. Trump probably just got confused and announced the name of the wrong country.
Wait, isn’t China the really big one east of Europe?
What did they pay though? Any new gold ingots been spotted recently? Some curious real estate gifts?
We won’t educate our own students, and build America’s own brain trust, but we’ll double the number of Chinese students whose government pays to educate them in America, in order to make them more competitive with us.
We are training our own competition, and hamstringing our own defense.
Make America Ignorant Again.
Go blame your states, for not teaching properly. Even young kids now a days are fucking glued on to their tablets… always using it for entertainment purposes.
My nephew who’s 9 visits us a lot, and he’s glued to his iPad… even when he’s trying to pick up a chair and bring it somewhere else. It’s disgusting.
That sounds like a parent issue not so much a state issue. I guess you could argue that maybe both the kids parents are working too much and are too tired to parent… which could be considered a state issue.
Anyone know why we keep building schools instead of hiring teachers? I swear every school near me has gotten replaced but the class size is 30 to 1.
I mean, we won’t educate the Chinese exchange students either. The US education system is increasingly diploma mills and sinecures for friends of public officials.
Trump’s doing the “$5M Visa” gambit. He thinks he can announce “We’re going to invite so many students! The best students!” and then slide in a mechanism for channeling kickback into his pocket. But no sane student is going to take him up on this deal. And no quality school is going to want students coming through such a program.

TIL that sinecure is a Latin word. In Russian it sounds a lot like “a place where you smoke something blue, or emitting blue smoke, or making you blue”.
On the subject - the US still designs some of the most advanced things on this planet, so some people do get educated.
the US still designs some of the most advanced things on this planet
We’re rapidly tearing all the wiring out of the walls. Just look at the dismantling of the CDC, the FAA, and NOAA. Mass arrest and deportation of some of the smartest and most talented people in their fields, because they aren’t native born (or merely white enough to pass the paper bag test). Feds moving to block the trade of high end electronics or the construction of modern power systems and modes of transport. The sheer volume of financial scams coming on the heels of an enormous tech bubble, combined with mass layoffs across software, automotive, and agriculture sectors.
It’s bleak, man. Real “you’re a Russian landing your first job in 1989 Moscow” bleak.
We’re doing the same thing with all the AI LLMs being built as well. We want to ensure we are the dumbest nation on the planet.
If someone were actually trying to weaken the US in favour of Russia and/or China I truly can’t think of a better way to do it than what he’s doing.
Lol conservatives circle racist logic. White people are genetically superior, but are also oppressed. White people are the smartest, but Asians are the best at math and computers. White people are the strongest, but black people just are naturally gifted at sports. White people are the reason we have great things like the engine, but Jews control everything. White people are just harder workers, but Hispanic people need to be the ones doing the hard jobs. Make it make sense Republicans.
That’s just fascism. The enemy is strong and weak at the same time, depending on what the fascists need at that moment.
I honestly would respect them more if they just said it out loud. It’s like dealing with a five year old when you catch them in a lie but they just refuse to admit it. Grow a pair and stand ten toes down on your beliefs. But they won’t. Cowards.
“stand ten toes down on your beliefs”
That’s an interesting idiom(?). Never heard that one before.
I’ll have you know I’m a black person who is terrible at sports thank you.
Just met a 6ft 8 in black college student. Never played basketball in high school or college. Never was interested. I told him he left a herd of crying coaches in his wake.
F
Make it make sense Republicans.
I’ve heard some tall orders in my day, but this is akin to taking a deep breath, walking out to the sun, and moving it around with your bare hands.
“conservatives” are capitalist handlers that use whichever line brings them the most money at the time. As long as they have good doggies who lap up what they are fed and lie down when told they can target and support Hispanics while profiting off cheap and powerless labor.
I would preface that with “conservative elites” are the ones focused on money alone. Most conservatives make choices against their own welfare in exchange for fear and rage. They get to be the “winner” in some ideological game and that’s enough for them.
And white people are mixed. They have minority DNA…
But his administration is gutting education. How many students are really going to want to study here. Heck you could be deported the very next day with flip-flop trump in control
Now that he cut the NIH, there would be zero reason for Chinese science students to study in the US, China is much better funded.
🎵🎶 TACO’s modern life (TACO’s modern life) 🎶🎵
Don’t drag Rocko into this, he doesn’t deserve that.
Fun fact, that show is now 32 years old, and the final season aired 29 years ago. TIL Netflix made a Rocko’s Modern Life special in 2019.
I’m so old.
Laundry day is a very dangerous day.
He must be an intellectual.
Dementia and Tacos. What a dynamite combination
His brain is melting
What a world!
