As Donald Trump continues to surge in the polls, a staple of Trump’s campaign rhetoric remains his emphasis on bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States and confronting foreign competitors like China and Mexico over their unfair trading practices.
For instance, in an interview with Sean Hannity Tuesday night Trump said:
We have to bring back our jobs back from China. As an example, we have to bring manufacturing back. You look at Japan with the boats that come in pouring in with cars—you know what we send Japan? We send them beef. We send them wheat, we send them corn…

Trump is the only one speaking out against China or Mexico.And Trump is right. China launched a currency war against the USA yesterday and continued it today.

Go man Go. This is Happenig as a result of millions of prayers. Thank you Jesus.
Great! What is his strategy? What tactics will he use which do no require the senate’s approval?
I think so too!!!!
Trump can get the senate's approval.
There can probably put tariffs in place instantly without the senate, because there is a provision for them in the WTO agreements when there are chronic trade deficits.
If you listen to Trump, he's not entirely for tariffs, but he will use them as a hammer to get a fair deal.
Listen to his Phoenix or his Las Vegas speech. He goes into detail about the things he can use as leverage to get fair deals out of our trading partners. (And I use the term trading partners lightly, because the trade is one way).
He also says he doesn't give a lot of specifics, because you don't negotiate that way. You have to stay flexible when you negotiate.
not a trump supporter. but trump is absolutely right on this. we need to get conditional tariffs up yesterday. the border needs to be closed/controlled to chamber cut rate labor and foreign cut rate product until the playing field is again equitable or favorable to us and labor force participation is again climbing.
I don’t trust Trump. If he doesn’t get the nomination he is liable to pull enough votes away from a conservative nominee to elect Hillary.
Whores have no problem dealing with aggressive Johns..
as long as they pay.....
Trump is indeed a whore.. BUT.....................
it is the PIMP’s you need to watch out for..
Does TRUMP have PIMP’s?...... absolutely..
but he doesn’t parade them in front of the cameras..
He WAS a democrat, goes with the territory..
Wealthy whores always have pimps..
He can be a nurse.. librarian.. conservative.. whatever..
But it will cost you..
you know.. get your jolly’s..... PAY LATER...
it’s how things work in Trump’s World..
You know should better than that. If you’ve been paying attention.
He’s talking relative values. They send us a million cars; we send them a little beef and grain. Where’s the parity? And quite often when our shipments arrive over there, they’re turned away at the dock.
Trump says he wants parity. They get to send over here the same dollar value of products as they accept and pay for from us.
Why hasn’t anyone else stood up and demanded that?
Everyone else gets paid to go along.
Nice attack on farmers, Trump. That’ll win you a ton of votes from stupid people aka Democrats.
Great! What is his strategy? What tactics will he use which do no require the senate’s approval?
no president from here on out will bother to check in with the senate. That ship has sailed. ask the scotus. can’t hear anything. crickets.
At this point, I am very much content that the man has the will to act even if he lacks a concrete plan. Will is what we need. Plans of action are easy. The will to act is what has been lacking for a very long time. I’ll take will over plan any day.
Hillary will never run—She will be too busy keeping out of the Klink. Bernie is an out and out Socialist—It will be bumbling Biden—Hey, even Bush could beat them.
Well aint this sweet? He actually is proposing something constitutional..which is the use tariffs to make commerce regular.
No wonder the GOPe and national socialists are spinning.
Trump would gain another five to ten points if he’d sharpen his message about one-sided trade deals and begin including that in more of his interviews and appearances.
He’s hitting the problem, but needs to provide some more detail about the cheating and unfairness and how to correct it.
