Why is this tolerable to you, GOP? Forcing countries to fake scandals as far as trade agreements (USA and China) is unacceptable. Under any rules.
Here is the substance leading up to the question
Quote
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) says it appears that Trump conditioned a trade deal with China on the Chinese making up dirt on Joe Biden.
Sen. Wyden tweeted:

As if an all-out pressure campaign on Ukraine to make up dirt on Trump's political rivals wasn’t enough, it appears that the administration was making a trade deal with China contingent on getting manufactured kompromat on Biden. I'm demanding answers. https://lnkd.in/e9hzNpt …
A Democratic senator asked the Trump administration to clarify whether U.S. officials sought to inject an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden into trade negotiations with Beijing.
Trump trade representative Peter Navarro refused to answer when asked if Trump tried to tie a trade deal with China to the Chinese providing dirt on Joe Biden. Trump himself mentions bogus claims about Biden and China. The president is conditioning a trade deal with China on the Chinese providing dirt on Joe Biden.
As Sen. Widen pointed out, there is no dirt on the Bidens and China, so Trump is asking the Chinese to invent a scandal for him that he can use to attack Biden should the candidate face off against him in 2020

So far, Trump is now demanding that as part of his diplomacy, that China guarantee the re election of Donald Trump, 2020, as far as his trade agreements with the PRC.
This is coming up when the following emerged

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman is still testifying behind closed doors to the House impeachment inquiry about the crimes he witnessed Donald Trump committing. We’ve seen Trump, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and his allies like Laura Ingraham go to extraordinarily deranged lengths to try to smear Vindman, suggesting that they know Vindman’s testimony is awful for Trump. Turns out it’s even worse than we thought.
House Democrats who attended Colonel Vindman’s testimony have been tight lipped about the details, but Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney – currently the Acting House Oversight Committee Chair – told NBC News that it was “extremely, extremely, extremely disturbing.” Maloney is a straight shooter, so we have to assume that what she heard today about Donald Trump’s actions really was just that disturbing.

And, having a diplomacy based upon coerced lies, is just fine with TRUMP
So here is the question, AGAIN:
Why is this tolerable to you, GOP? Forcing countries to fake scandals as far as trade agreements (USA and China) is unacceptable. Under any rules
I would appreciate an answer, GOP. If you cannot do it, please apply for immigration to the Russian Federation, Moscow, as new immigrants to Vladimir Putin's new paradise. I can guarantee you, GOP that you will fit in immediately in with PUTIN. <What are you waiting for ? >
