You said you disagreed with what Trump said. And then you expressed exactly the same opinion he did.

His solution is to hire trade negotiators who will get deals that benefit US citizens.

The difference is the intent of the US negotiators.

Trump might hire those with the US’s interests in mind.

The ones we have today do NOT have the US’s interests in mind.

China didn’t ‘do’ this to us. ‘We’ did it to ourselves.

I think the disagreement was on how/why it happened.

I agree it was the feckless fools on the Hill who made trade agreements that were not in our best interests.
They gave away the store to make a sale, as it were.

The *only* solution is to renegotiate the trade deals we are operating under.

Either that or go to war with the Chicoms, and I’m sure *no one* wants to do that.
