Trump Once Asked For Obama’s Help In A Trade Dispute With China --
Trump’s 2011 letter to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke claimed China had a “deceitful culture"


WASHINGTON ― Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump asked the Obama administration in 2011 to intervene on his behalf with the Chinese justice system. His complaint went to the heart of Trump’s business empire. A small-time Chinese coffee shop business had registered the word “Trump.”

“I would greatly appreciate someone speaking to the Chinese and Macau representatives to ask them how such a miscarriage of justice could have taken place,” Trump wrote, referring to a ruling that found that Trump could still trademark his name for hotels, but not for restaurants.

“The Trump name resonates throughout the entire world; whether it is from a world class building, my highly rated television show, my dozens of best-selling books, or any of the other products and services which bear my name,” Trump wrote to then-Commerce Secretary Gary Locke. “According to their ignorant council of judges, it appears the only two places in the world I am not well known are China and Macao [sic].”

The letter offers a new window into how Trump’s private business dealings with China have helped to inform his views on trade and tariffs. They also represent the latest example of Trump asking an official power, in this case the U.S. Commerce Department, to intervene on his behalf to help sway a judicial opinion.

In his missive, Trump called China a “deceitful culture” with a “faithless, corrupt and tainted” legal system. The Huffington Post obtained the letter through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Trump’s letter, he wrote, was sparked by an appearance Locke made on television. “I recently saw you on CNBC and respectfully disagree with your statements regarding China and their improving intellectual property rights,” Trump wrote.

Locke, one of the nation’s first Chinese American cabinet secretaries, was addressing U.S. efforts to enforce copyright and intellectual property laws in Chinese markets.

“For many years, I have heard that the Court and political systems of China, and those of Macao, are totally corrupt,” Trump wrote. “I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to secure my own name and globally recognized brand from Chinese individuals who seek to trade off of my reputation. As an example, in Macao, the Courts denied me the exclusive rights to my own name.”

A month after receiving his complaint, the Obama administration responded, thanking Trump for his letter and agreeing that piracy and counterfeiting in China were still “unacceptably high.”

Commerce officials stressed that Trump’s concerns were still subject to due process and the courts, however. “With respect to your legal proceedings in Macau, legal and policy constraints limit our ability to take action regarding matters before foreign courts,” said the letter, which was auto-signed by Locke.

The department would raise Trump’s issue with Chinese authorities, the letter said. But it also suggested another avenue for Trump to resolve his dispute: the International Trade Administration, which helps U.S. companies deal with intellectual property issues in China and elsewhere. Locke said his employees would be glad to speak with Trump further on the matter.

He also ran to Obama for help when he started talking shit about the Mexican billionaire drug lord El Chapo. El Chapo said if Trump kept talking shit he would deliver his head on a platter and Trump ran to Obama scared asking for help. I guess he realized a Billionaire drug lord could indeed put his head on a platter. Shows how stupid the man is to even go there with El Chapo. lol

Get your facts right, El ChappedAss. Trump never "ran to Obama for help." He simply told the FBI to look into a tweet purportedly from el chapo. Catching bad guys is what the FBI is supposed to do.

Trump also said he would kick el chapo's ass. You're too skeered and intimidated to say anything bad about Mexican drug lords, aintcha? You'd rather whimper meekly and let them keep poisoning this country with drugs and violence.

That's why we call you Sissy Chap!
