Trump to Accept 600k Chinese Students, Sparking Uproar Among Conservatives
Key topics
The controversy surrounding Trump's plan to accept 600,000 Chinese students has sparked heated debate, with some speculating that he's being influenced by his last conversation or even being paid off by China. Commenters point out Trump's history of making impulsive decisions, with one noting that his pronouncements often seem to be a direct repeat of what someone last told him. The discussion takes a turn when SilverElfin [Author] raises the possibility that Trump is being compensated by China, citing unusually low tariff rates and his delayed ban on TikTok. As the conversation unfolds, some commenters attribute Trump's actions to potential corruption, while others highlight his erratic behavior and questionable health.

I suspect the same goes for whatever he runs across on Twitter. Some of his firings have been strangely specific and it seems like it's just whatever meme like thing that got traction with the right twitter troll at the right time ...
Heck his own comments in this story:
>I hear so many stories about ‘We’re not going to allow their students’” to come in
No apparent awareness that he is the source of the stories :P
>Mr Morrison said the announcement followed a discussion with his wife Jenny the previous night and after he considered how he, as a father, would want his daughters to be treated.
"Jenny and I spoke last night and she said to me, you have to think about this as a father. What would you want to happen if it were our girls?" he told reporters.
“Jenny has a way of clarifying things. Always has. And so, as I’ve reflected on that overnight and listened to Brittany and what she had to say.”
Mr Morrison said he wants to make sure "any young woman working in this place is as safe as possible, as I would want for my own daughters".
The Prime Minister was later asked by a reporter why it took discussing the alleged incident "as a husband and father" to take further action.
"Shouldn’t you have thought about it as a human being? What happens if men don’t have a wife and children? Would they reach the same compassionate conclusion?" she asked.
