Peddling influence and using government for personal profit seems par for the course in this administration.

They claimed they were for "law and order" but the stand firm behind a criminal and want to take down the FBI and other agencies.
They were for standing up to tinpot dictators, but are now fighting over who can suck up to Kim the best.
They claimed they were for free trade and smooth business, but are now working hard to wreck the Western alliance.
And let's not even try to get into the whole "family values" scam...

- All key leadership and board memebers are to be fired and replaced within 30 days
- US picked compliance team embedded in ZTE that the commerce department is reimbursed for by ZTE
- $1B fine and $400M in escrow
- Qualcomm / NXP deal seems likely to be approved, helping US jobs
In the past we've seen other countries deal with Iran while under sanctions, and we've gotten nothing out of them other than speeches at the U.N.
I kinda think I like this better.
oblig disclaimer - I didn't vote for Trump, and I don't knee-jerk defend his actions...
