OK about 10% of Trump's first term is now complete. How has he done thus far?

1# He is not Hillary 2# we are getting back to a Constitutional Focused Supreme Court. Anything else is icing on a great cake.

And WHERE do YOU shop?

There are many stores where many things are NOT "made in China"!

Is your food "made in China"?

How about the gas you put in your care?

Granted, there ARE, indeed, many kinds of manufacturing concerns ( shoes, some furniture, some fabrics, etc. ) that haven't been in existence for many decades; however, they didn't all go to China and many were lost before you were out of diapers, I bet.

You are not only a political naif, but appear to not know much history.

And as for China's military...that was.is only to be expected, due to China's "one child" policy, which reduced the female population by extreme numbers.

No.

There are specific parts of our economy which have not been taken over by China.

Food. Food is very much an American product.

We buy a lot of food, because everyone needs it every single day. Most of it is grown right in the US.

So we do not have a deficit of food.

Oil we are pretty well set up with.

Good examples, and yes they are predominantly American.

However you are wrong about “one child”. That was ended several years ago.

And our trade deficit with China is simply MASSIVE. Go into any retail store, in any city, in any state in America.

Pick up something and look:

“Made in China”.

Go to hardware. Look at all the tools.

“Made in China”.

Clothes?

“Made in China”. Though there are now some countries under-cutting even China now for clothes.

Look at appliances.

“Made in China”.

Look at sporting goods.

“Made in China”.

Not good. Not good at all.

OK. I am aok with the fact we all have our own opinions. You do not agree, with mine. I’m fine with that.

But I was very early, right on this website, for Trump. I think my opinion is representative in some ways, of a good segment of Trump’s core of support.

I supported Trump as our candidate, when lots here were for Cruz, or any of the other candidates.

And lots were. Nope, I have been for Trump the entire time. But I am still waiting, disappointed a bit, by the lack of progress on global trade, and the US Border.

They were the two biggest issues, for me.

And we haven’t yet done much, on either one. Which is really permanent.

Sure illegal immigrants are way down.

They could be way up, the first week of any other administration. And they will be.

Unless Trump gets started on building the wall.

It is also, why a lot of cross-over voters supported Trump this time.

And global trade. What part of the current situation, is good? We need to bring back American manufacturing.

They are part of the reason, Trump won.

It is the House and Senate that have let the people down as well as the Deep State Obama hold-overs and the media.

Oh brother....what's your IQ...71?

Yes, the one "child policy" was sort of ended a few years ago; however, the children, now adults, that WERE born under that policy number in the many millions and most of them are MALES!

And just WHAT does a society with an over abundance of males in their population do? THEY HAVE A HUGE MILITARY! This is an historical fact and why many worried about China's "one child policy" for many, many many decades!

How about YOU going to Saks, Bloomingdales, Berdorf, Neiman Marcus, Paul Stuart, Vineyard Vines...hey, even ORVIS and look at the labels!

India has taken over manufacturing many things that you complain about, as well as quite a few other countries. China lost that stronghold long ago and it has less than NOTHING at all to do with with President Trump!

Why are you continually buying tools and sporting equipment?

How often do you go out and buy an icebox, stove, etc. and do you buy these things on the cheap?

Your arguments are those of an uneducated dunce; as are you complaints!

Many "trades" left this nation 60 years ago, or so.

Shoes? Do you even know that there was a time when one could buy shoes, made in America, with multiple lasts? Do you even know what a "last" is? Since I doubt that you do, a "last" is what the front and the heel of a shoe used to come in...i.e. a double A with a triple A heel, or a D with a double E heel and everything in between and on either side; not just "narrow", "medium", or "wide".

Now you have to order a "bespoke" ( made to measure ) shoe to get that and they don't make them in China anymore, either!

And it's not just America....other countries no longer make what they once did; even some things that they were well known for. WHY? Unions, crazy government laws/rules, and the fact that more and more people don't mind buying crap these days. Hell, they don't even know what something "good" is and they also do NOT want to pay for that!

And there is absolutely NOTHING that President Trump can do about that; nothing, whatsoever !

Look you fool, you weren't even in the top 100 of FREEPERS who supported Trump; from the get go and now, all you do is whinge and whine and complain about what he hasn't done, without understanding what he is up against, what a president can and can NOT do, the historical FACTS as to what past presidents have actually accomplished in the first FIVE months of their first ( and for some, ONLY )term.

Nobody on this thread has agreed with you! YOU ARE LONE MAN OUT HERE; SO GET OVER YOURSELF !

I’ll leave the research to you.

All I’ll say is I have supported Trump on this site, for more than two years.

I am a loyal supporter.

But he really, really needs to know, there are some of us out here, who are waiting for him to do something about the wall, and about our global trade situation.

Those are two very big issues.

Trump is fighting. He is trying to make good on every campaign promise. And in doing so, he is exposing the frauds in politics and the media.

I don't have to do any research; I know history, both political and world for the past several 100 years; as well as the history of manufacturing and trade .

I bet that you don't even know WHY the USA came to be such a huge factor, in EVERYTHING, after WW II; nor even that there were Americans selling spaghetti to Italy! But I do!

You weren't even in the top 100 members of the TRUMP RALLY THREADS; but I was one of the very first there.

You are complaining about two things over which NO president has as much control over, as you imagine. Do you believe that all a president has to do is just say something ( a la waving a magic wand ) and it gets done before you cane finish saying "JACK ROBINSON" ?

More people are waiting for many other things to happen; though yes, the wall is a BIGGIE and is in the planing stages.

Your childish complaint about "global trade" is pathetic! Things are made where they are and that isn't going to change overnight. OTOH....many companies are opening new plants and/or expanding other things and have been for many months. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN...IN YOUR "SAFE SPACE" SUCKING YOUR THUMB, OR PLAYING WITH PLAY DOUGH ?

He got rid of TPP and his trade negotiator Lighthouzer just got sworn in. He was the last cabinet member to get approved. He has already started renegotiating trade deals. But the trade deficit is already falling due to increases in manufacturing.

The advanced trade gap in goods — ...— fell by 1.8% to $65.9 billion in May, the U.S. Census Bureau said Wednesday. https://www.google.com/amp/www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/guid/64521D48-5BFE-11E7-B0FB-8C41D7297E5B
