“China Will Be On Notice” goes along with his WSJ piece on Chinese currency manipulation, yesterday.

...from China's destructive currency manipulation and financial policies.

OK but what about Washington's destructive currency manipulation and financial policies? Washington is a far greater offender than Beijing. In fact, it would be fair to say China learned these tricks from the Japanese, who learned them from the US.

Once again Trump is being specific, while those who accuse him of lacking specificity are not.

I hope I am wrong, but I predict things will get worse at MU. By that I mean real violence. The mob will not be able to resist it. Perhaps they will try to cloak it by framing others, but their new found power is destined to go there in one way or another.

Ignore my post. I am not sure how I ended up posting to the wrong thread. Sorry.

Donald Trump Releases Trade Plan: ‘China Will Be On Notice

Keep in mind that in '96 when Bubba was running short of campaign funds, he exchanged missile guidance and rocketry technology for illegal contributions from the chicoms.

This time, I'm sure they will be giving freely to the Beast's campaign in an effort to stop The Donald.

[Nifster]

And as with his second amendment policy paper, Trump is absolutely correct.

Hate to say it but I am liking him more and more

[Red Steel]

Trump should do very well in tonight's debate.

I wonder if Yeb! is stupid enough to attack Trump on un-pegging the yuan to the dollar since his bro W understood China has an unfair and unbalanced advantage.

I think it is so great that Trump is letting us know his plans, he's not shy about anything he says or does...but...I have something I think needs to be talked about and that is why is Trump funding his own campaign...

When a politician or an ‘outsider’ runs for an office, there is always money behind them...super pacs, campaign donors and lobbyists...

When the person wins the office they are going after, these lobbyists, super pac people and campaign donors want something, they don't just give you millions of dollars for nothing....so look at your candidates backers of money...find out all you can about them...they are backing this candidate for a reason...then think to yourself...why shouldn't I be able to fix what ever is wrong, because some super pac guy over here says, no I want you to support my cause, and some guy over there says, nope, I gave you money so you support my cause...

I am for Trump 100% for a lot of reasons, but one main reason he doesn't answer only to Americans, because that is what he is first...American!!!

And we don’t manipulate our currency?

Is he willing to put up tariffs so we can sit on a pile of wheat while the Chinese sit on pile of TVs?

Donald needs to read Milton Friedman.

Trump may be able to hire smart guys to give him economic advice, but they can’t debate for him.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

How Currency Manipulation Creates American Jobs

In this case the "manipulation" is to America's advantage and China's disadvantage, because the undervalued yuan and overvalued dollar makes Chinese goods cheaper and more affordable for American consumers and companies, saving us billions of dollars, and making us wealthier and China poorer. It would be like accusing Wal-Mart of "manipulation" for offering "Everyday Low Prices," and saving Americans billions of dollars??

2. As the chart above shows, almost 60% of imported goods are: a) industrial supplies (chemicals, commodities, raw materials, etc.) and b) capital goods (machinery, equipment, parts, tools, etc.) which are mostly purchased by AMERICAN COMPANIES as inputs for production in the United States. Being able to purchase Chinese and other foreign inputs at the lowest possible price makes American companies MORE competitive, sell MORE of their products, and hire MORE American workers. Therefore, China's currency "manipulation" helps American companies and actually SAVES and CREATES jobs here.

Update:

3. For the artificially cheap consumer goods purchased from China with artificially overvalued dollars, thanks to the "manipulative" Chinese government and Chinese people, those cost savings don't somehow just evaporate or disappear. To the contrary, the money saved most likely gets spent on other goods and services, many of which are produced by American employees working for American companies, stimulating jobs in those sectors.

For example, the $100 saved by an American consumer purchasing artificially cheap Chinese tires, might spend that extra $100 taking his or her family out to dinner more often at local restaurants, helping to save or create jobs in the local restaurant industry. That is, some Americans working in the restaurant industry can thank the manipulative Chinese for their jobs.

Why is Trump condemning China for doing to the yuan exactly what the Federal Reserve is doing to the American dollar?

Currency Manipulation

[familyop]

It’s part of the currency manipulation racket of northeastern U.S. import interests. The U.S. dollar is unnaturally internationally high with so little manufacturing on U.S. soil (not including American-”based” manufacturing on foreign soil).
