Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump accused China on Tuesday of “one of the greatest thefts in the history of the world” and said he could fix the problem by drawing on the negotiating skills laid out in his 1987 bestseller The Art of the Deal.
“I do great with the Chinese,” Trump told an audience at a campaign rally in Dubuque, Iowa. “And they’re great people. The problem is their leaders are too smart for our leaders.
“I’m a big believer in free trade. I like free trade. But it’s not good if we have dummies.”
The China lines, which amplified an argument that Trump has been making to large audiences for weeks, drew forceful applause. But they were more than crowd-pleasing barbs dropped into an extemporized stump speech.
The attacks on China, and the analysis attached to them, are undergirded – in the somewhat mysterious construct that is the Trump presidential candidacy – by actual, albeit sketchy, economic policy proposals. And analysts suggest these could threaten a trade war with China that would rearrange the global economy, with serious ramifications for the US.

Big time. Beyond big time, huge.
Trump is the only person saying we need to fix it. He is the only one.
Anywhere.
Trump is so right.
How?
Leftists distract with the term “global economy”.
Americans more focused on “American economy”.
Stuff like this is why Trump will win.
The word “global” is code for America taking it in the shorts. Once you realize that, everything starts to make sense.
There’s no such thing as a trade ‘surplus’ or ‘deficit’. It’s an invention of unionistas and socialists to gain control over people. Every trade is fully paid for when completed.
If you buy $100 worth of groceries from your grocer there is no surplus or deficit. You got exactly what you paid for. You traded dollars for goods and did so of your own free will and choice. So did the grocer.
Now, set your grocer across the border in Canada and it’s still the same. I’ve taught you this again and again and you still lie about it. Stop lying. Capisce?
Baloney.
America runs a trade deficit with China of 342 billion just last year.
That is still growing. Yes, there is a trade deficit.
A very big, very persistent one.
Great! That’s what I want, I want the American economy to be focused on. Everything government, wall street and large companies do today takes world interests into consideration first and America is not even 5th on the list.
you did notice what he said about Free Trade didn’t you??????
And you Central.....LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!! now Trump is just like me...a FREE TRAITOR - HAHAHAHA.....LOVE it when the lo fo Freepers are caught in a steaming pile.
I’ve just proved it, but you’re too ideologically blind or willfully stupid to admit it. You go to a garage sale and buy a widget for $1. Do you now have a ‘trade deficit’ with the seller? He’s bought nothing from you.
Worse, Democrats like you make this argument to take the hook off of government policies which are the real reason for job losses.
The Chinese are thinking in terms of generations - lots of them. The very long view, with a concerted plan to accomplish that.
Our leaders don’t look beyond the next election, and how many after that it is until they can amass enough graft and greed to keep them comfortable in their waning years.
Trumps version of Fee Trade is 100% different than yours. Trump is a Free Trader you are a Free Traitor™ BIG DIFFERENCE.
I use the term gloBULL, works for me.
The Graun ... always wrong.
342 billion is the size of our trade deficit with China last year.
342 billion.
BRING BACK AMERICAN JOBS.
Dummies? That would be you. But Free Traitors™ are not dumb they are a stateless anti American scum bags.
One day I hope in my life time, Free Traitors™ will be given a real platform so they can espouse the benefits of dealing with ChiComs from on top of the gallows.....
If only we had better central planners than they do! Look what central planning did for the Soviets, Cubans, North Koreans and Venezuelans.
I mean how can conservatives be so stupid as to believe in central planning?
These two patented liars are like a Mobius loop. No matter the evidence they return to their unionista training. Just like a Democrat to his vomit.
