Right now, I would think, the higher priority is either bringing pressure on North Korea or paving the way to turn their ass into a glowing parking lot, either will take the assent of the Chinese.
I’m as pissed at our taking it up the wazoo from the Chinese as anyone, and have been for years, but priority one right now is to eliminate the chance of an EMP blast or dirty bomb. Turning around the trade deficit is going to take time and China is still bitter about how The West treated her in the Opium wars and is never going to roll over again.
So we simply let China roll us?
WE, become them? The failed, huge country which doesn’t make anything? The country which used to be a manufacturing powerhouse, but now simply imports every single thing we use, from other countries?
Including significantly, a huge trade deficit, with the largest country by population, anywhere?
How in the world, does that improve anything, for us?
That is what we need to pay attention to.
Not them. Us.
Trump needs to pay attention to American production.
No other president for the entire last generation, has done this. Trump hasn’t yet.
I’m just saying. Trump, you are on our side.
Act like it, please.
