Did China ask us if it was OK to devalue their currency (making it hard for our companies to compete), heavily tax our products going into..

their country (the U.S. doesn't tax them) or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea? I don't think so!

BOOM!
Like we need their permission to conduct our foreign policy.
Let the games begin.
Next 24 hours, media will go nuts.
IIRC, China chastised Obama publically...for something....I believe right at a live joint press conference
Ever since Tricky Dick Nixon opened the door to China, we have done nothing but give and give, and China has done nothing but take and take.
Time to even the playing field.
right on.
I repeat - we are China’s best customer. They need us (our money) more than we need them.
LOL. MAGA!
I guess after years of America being subordinated to the UN and other countries, it’s a revolutionary act to regain your status and speak the truth.
The liberal progressive socialist commie politicians in our government hung up our American “BALLS” and dressed us up in a skirt with a diversity pc complex and a hatred of ones self
And now the Taiwan phone call becomes clear. Finally a man with backbone going to be president.
They will, especially in light of his speaking to the President of Taiwan. However, the things he said in this Tweet are all things he spoke about on the stump while campaigning as things he wanted to address.
Media freak out in.....3....2....1
my biggest criticism of Nixon is him going to china. we never should of legitimize the leadership. we should always be wary of any of our dealings with them realizing that they will always push the united states because they are a world power and see both the United States and Russia as there competition.
I expect the Trump team will be dusting off the history of the 1985 “Plaza Accord” which dealt with Japan currency, devaluing US Dollar by about 50% versus Yen.
Does anyone here remember that at one time, 7 of the 10 largest banks were Japanese?
Same deal as today with China, which has been actively making their currency (Yuan Renminbi) cheaper for the last three years, killing American jobs . . . JUST LIKE TRUMP HAS BEEN SAYING.
The primary leverage to get Japan to go along was implied threat of tariffs. YES, you so-called conservative IDIOTS (like Mark Levin), REAGAN USED this threat. Does anyone doubt he would have followed through if the Japanese refused to comply?
The effects of the Plaza Accord crashed the Nippon stock market by 75% starting in 1989, and led to a deep and lengthy recession in Japan.
Too bad. Same has to happen in China which, as Trump has been saying, has been ripping America blind.
Yes they did... i think they also didn’t give AF1 the standard steps for the plane and made him walk out the side door...not on the red carpet. I could be wrong...
