While no one was paying attention, in 2017, President Trump made an trip to Asia that was quite significant.
He followed up by sending Ivanka to India.
He met with the leaders of S Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam.
His agenda was trade negotiations.
The result is that we now have these countries eager to increase their business with us, on terms negotiated by the President, and take over the manufacture and sale of cheap crap to export. Still better, they can compete with each other.
In other words, President Trump has rendered China economically irrelevant.
As dems were, and continue to scream about how the tariffs will make things cost more, the President was playing the long game.
Art of the Deal.
MIGHT even be less expensive.
