69 years later, Trump is finally going to Vietnam.

Nah, just his organization. He already had what he claimed was his personal Vietnam. It was surviving the 1970s without an STD.

Just checked and the US does NOT have an extradition treaty with Vietnam.

I hope they get their money upfront before they build anything

That would be a smart move, given who they deal with.

there are few things more terrifying than owing money to the Vietnamese.

No fucking hope. He'll milk all the hopeful sycophants as long as he can and take his nonexistent money somewhere else.

The irony of a guy who's literal slogan is to make America great, slapping tariffs to "protect" American businesses, etc... Who is now investing billions in a country on the other side of the world instead of America. Hmmm

...while he uses 'communist' as an insult against his opponent.

Why didn't he just divert funds from the hurricane relief for this? /s

Seriously though, as much as he is screaming about it, he already or is planning on using those funds for his own personal gain. I understand that he is sowing discourse to shut these organizations and agencies down, but there has to be more to it. He has to personally benefit

Hey, as long as the Vietnamese firm gets their money up-front, I'm 100% in support of countries taking as much money from the moronic grifter as they can.

My dad worked on forest preservation in Northern Vietnam and conservation of critically endangered species and this kind of project is just going to make things a lot worse.

If you fuck up nature, atleast make the masses reap the short lived benefits, not the wealthy few.

Maybe if we're lucky, they'll forget to bribe the Vietnamese government and get the death penalty and their assets seized, like that one Vietnamese billionaire.

This was his personal Vietnam 2.0 This is like 'Nam all over again for his weary soul

A place where Chinese and Russian governements can 'invest' in possibly the next president of the USA

People watching Bat21 in the future are going to be so confused.

Vietnam can certainly use the money with China beating up their fishermen. Maybe a few more guns aimed north or boats on patrol.
