A few weeks ago, we covered the gleefully-insane Donald Trump presidential announcement, which included more than a few mentions of the People's Republic.
While some of those name-drops were decidedly negative ("I beat China all the time") one stood out as a positive. Trump said: "I like China. I just sold an apartment for 15 million dollars to somebody from China. Am I supposed to dislike them?" (Video here, needs VPN.)
Well, only two days later, ol' Trump popped up on MSNBC to tout his political aspirations, and in those forty-eight hours, his love for China has blossomed.
"I love China," he says, "I sold an apartment for 55 million dollars to a Chinese gentleman."
Well that was a bit of a leap. If The Donald is able to make an apartment's value leap 40 million USD in 48 hours, then perhaps we were wrong about him after all. (Or maybe somebody just needs to fine-tune their talking points. Either way.)
