That impact being China’s economy would suffer while ours is still doing great?
To: Zhang Fei
Maybe Trump is doing what is right for the country even though it might hurt his prospects for winning in 2020. Remember that Trump doesn’t need the job.

Being “energy independent” has certainly helped. Something that would have never happened under Obama.

Exactly. Trade is only 10% of the US economy. And Mexico, not China, is our biggest trading partner. We have already won the trade war with China. You notice no prices on Chinese goods at Walmart have gone up. If we get a deal with China we will have protected out exports and our intellectual property. If not, companies will continue to exit china for neighboring countries not subject to the tariffs and continue to sell us cheap goods. The US holds ALL the cards.

Sounds like he was more afraid of losing wealthy Chinese tourists dropping a load at his casino.

Also the only US people this hurts is multinational companies and businesses making crap in China.
And China is subsidizing their exit from China by devaluing their currency. This gives those companies time to find a new place to build their stuff while the US consumer continues to enjoy stable prices.

Trump was exactly what we needed. An anti-politician who is above and outside the political bureaucracy.

Mr. Adelson is chairman and chief executive of Las Vegas Sands Corp. The casino company has been operating in the Chinese territory of Macau since 2002 and now derives most of its income from there. In 2018, Macau accounted for nearly $9 billion, or roughly 63%, of Las Vegas Sands revenue. Chinese state media have warned that American companies could pay a price in an unfettered conflict He should just shut up, he can lose a few million or elect Sanders and lose his billion.

BINGO!!!!
To: Zhang Fei
The GM strike is going to have a big impact on the economic numbers, and Dems will use that against Trump.
It is no coincidence that only a small group, the Janitors, connected to SEIU, is actually on strike.

To: Zhang Fei
Adeldick better watch his step.
I don’t care how rich he is. His piggy bank in Macau is not important to Americans.
So he can choose which side he’s on.
And he better stop right now with the veiled threats to our President.

Sheldon Adelson.....the wealthiest man in Nevada worth north of $30 Billion, and still clueless.
What are we supposed to do, continue with $500 billion + trade deficits forever while the communist Chinese build up their military?
The trade war has been going on for years. But until Donald Trump came on the scene, only the Chinese were fighting.
To: Zhang Fei
Mr. Adelson, your casino business is about as important for the economic health and well-being of our nation as child pornography is.
Shut the f#%& up and get out of the way. MAGA.

triggered a telephone call from Sheldon Adelson, who warned the president about the conflicts impact on the U.S. economy and Mr. Trumps re-election prospects, And who was likely 90% wrong.
