What Trump can do is to prevent America from buying so much imported goods, by making them more expensive by TAXING IMPORTS.

Trump cannot impose taxes or tariffs, nor can any other president. That has to be done by Congress...

Well however it needs to be done, it needs to be done.

Our bilateral trade deficit now with China is 342 billion dollars last year, a new all-time record, in a long line of brand new all-time records. Up from 308 billion the year before, and it’s heading even higher right now for this year.

Nobody is doing a single thing, yet we pile up ever more debt (we’re now near 19 trillion dollars)

Only Trump is saying this needs to stop.

Bring back manufacturing to America.
