So US "business people" are with t-rump on AF1 in China to "Make Deals"...WTF? [View all]

So these nameless US "business people" are now the official government of our country? Seems crazed and illegal, you know the whole "taxation and representation" thing. T-rump and this whole scenario sounds like government gone over the edge...Are we headed for 1929 again, at least for the common working people in America?
