Wasn’t it the media that was telling us that we (the US) needed Huawei. Seems it is the other way around. Media lying to us again. Trump pegged them - enemy of the American people. So true.

President Trump’s plan for China is just like President Reagan’s plan for the Cold War.

Our media is in bed with China and need to be reminded at every opportunity they are cheating on us.
