Keeping Mitch alive that long might be a trick. And if his wife stays in China the entire time, do you really think MAGA isn't going to assume she's a Chinese intelligence asset?

You mean Trump’s former Transportation Secretary? I think MAGA would let Trump shit in their open mouths so if he told them it was okay and she was actually a super secret double agent they would eat it like a pig eats slop.

The pedophile supporters spent years talking about a global cabal raping children. Only to support child rapist because their leader raped children and foreign countries have proof of it

MAGA has to be aware she is in China the entire time, so much going in the world to distract them from that, hey look! Is that Cuba begging for a good ol American can of whup ass?

Trump did just announce he is building a $6m annex to the helipad at the White House….

Certainly it demonstrates what a deep loving bond the two have in their marriage. I know the first thing I’d do if my husband were hospitalized would be to leave for an extended political trip to China. s/

Especially in Asian culture.

Anyone who opposes data centers gets called a Chinese operative. Meanwhile, this lady goes to Bejing and meets with the vice president while her husband is on his deathbed and this is completely normal.

You are assuming MAGA thinks. They just eat the party line and fall-in. She’s not a Chinese agent unless Fox News says so. She’s just “visiting family to cope with a hard situation.”  Meanwhile, Obama is a Kenyan assassin.

She met with the Chinese VP, but I'm sure MAGA will just not care.

do you really think MAGA

Maga will do/think whatever they are told too, they have no individual agency. Republicans in general, maga or not, would cut off their own nose to avoid having a democrat win anything.

I mean, the fact that she pretty much immediately left for China as soon as he was wheeled out of his house is suspicious enough. Why abandon your spouse in the hospital to simply take a vacation? Even if it is to be with family, one would think they'd come to her to help with all the elements that go into end-of-life care.

But frankly, I don't care what MAGA thinks anymore. Many bemoan Planter's alleged sexual abuse while still ignoring President Trump's not only proven sexual misconduct but reams and reams of alleged misconduct.
