  • Donald Trump Cautions Roy Moore To Retire Alabama Senate Bid Behind – NowIamUpdated

    Careful of the upcoming elections, Mr. Trump cautioned Republican Roy Moore of coinciding with unsatisfactory results given he runs the Alabama Senate bid afresh.

    Last time around, Trump did not win the support of Alabama since Republican Roy Moore ran for the position.

    Roy Moore lost against his Democratic opponent and Trump does not want to risk it this time with the 2020 elections rounding up. Trump put up a tweet regarding this: “Republicans cannot allow themselves to again lose the Senate seat in the Great State of Alabama”

    Roy Moore’s run has been rather dubious, as he was ousted twice of not showing his support towards the federal courts.

    Moreover, he has been reported to sexually mistreat young girls. This does not look appealing for the Democrats as the elections are coming up.

    Considering the aforementioned points, Donald Trump tweeted

    “You are literally the only candidate who could lose a GOP seat in pro-Trump, pro-USA ALABAMA, Running for office should never become a business model.  If you actually care about #MAGA more than your own ego, it’s time to ride off into the sunset, Judge.” on Tuesday.

    Trump is openly showing his support to his fellow republican because he truly believes that if the Republicans lose in “the Great State of Alabama” then all the progress that he has made in his time being the president would be at harm including the Pro-life victories.

  • Trump outlaws Huawei and China has no schemes to counter back – NowIamUpdated

    US President banned Huawei from doing business with US Companies hereafter.

    Since Huawei is a leading and emerging brand based in China, this has impacted them adversely. This is because they have lost the power to use Intel’s Chips as well as Google’s Android. In addition, companies like Panasonic went on the same path and stopped their trade.

    Huawei had products coming in one after the other and was on the right track to becoming one of the more popular smartphones but after this ban, their growth has plummeted.

    The founder of the company used this metaphor to describe the situation: like a plane with a hole in its side.

    This metaphor aptly describes their situation as this ban means that the company would not do well but they are still up there and are certainly a recognized brand.

    This ban is a way for Trump to show China that he is not specifically happy with the trade relationship that the two countries share.

    Trump has already made progress in that area by imposing 25% tariffs on several Chinese imports to the United States of America.

    When looked at through China’s eyes, reacting is of importance not only as a show of their economic strength but also because this means that restrictions are being imposed on their most significant overseas market.

    As a result of this ban, however, China has been left in a dire state and does not show up to have numerous options left.
